Here’s something pretty cool. You know that big, dumb speaker system in your house? It sounds great, but you gotta hook it up with a stupid cable, and it’s probably only plugged into your CD player anyway. But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can make it smarter. You can give it Bluetooth, give it the power to easily stream music from your phone. Or your friend’s phone. At least until they put on that one song you hate, and then you can go back to your music. It’s all possible with the Moto Stream Bluetooth Stereo Adapter. And it’s coming soon to Mobile Fun. Take a look.
The Moto Stream is a tiny icosahedron (a polyhedron with 20 triangular faces… you remember that from maths, right?), weighing just 100 grams. Five of its faces light up in different colours thanks to glowing LEDs, giving you feedback when devices are connected. It’s a cute contemporary design that’ll definitely add a bit of magic to your living room.
So here’s how it works. You’ll run a 3.5mm audio cable to your speaker system. You’ll plug in the power. You’ll tap your phone onto the speaker, and it’ll use NFC to automatically pair over Bluetooth. That’s it – you’re done. Play some music, and the Moto Stream will pipe it over to your faithful (but stupid) speaker system.
Of course, you want to be nice right? Of course. So your flatmates, or family, or friends can play their music too. Just follow the same formula – tap their phone on the Moto Stream to set up a Bluetooth connection – and then they can choose their music too. Up to five devices can be connected at once, and through ‘Heist Mode’, anyone connected can adjust the volume, skip to the next song, or just put on something from their device instead.
If you or your friends aren’t cool enough to have NFC on their phones (e.g. an iPhone), then you can still pair manually over Bluetooth… but it won’t be quite as futuristic. Sorry, Apple. Either way though, you’ll enjoy Bluetooth 3.0 range of up to 300 metres, so you can nip to the kitchen and keep the tunes pumping in the living room.
The Moto Stream is a clever little thing, and it will be available soon at Mobile Fun. For more information written in a much more serious style, please visit our product page.
