I wanna see some sort of B/T memory device . . . a USB pendrive with B/T perhaps? I could really do with the extra memory for my T610

This thing is an MP3 player that fits in to a cassette player and fools it in to thinking it's a tape. It can also be used as a stand-alone player.

Of course when it comes to playing MP3s in cars, most cars don't even have tape players these days. It's all CDs. Why don't more car stereos have a 2.5mm jack socket?
p.s. As you said, it's nothing to do with Bluetooth, but hey! cool gadgets are cool gadgets.

moving slightly away from BT, well completely
as for CD players i cantwait until the price of HardDisk players comes down.
the Sony HX1 car stereo is a cd player with a hard drive for 40Gb of memory, cause it costs a grand.
PD Hurcules has already produced a CD Player (non car) that converts tracks into MP3 and has a 40Gb hard drive.
Back to BT.
Speakers will need a cable if only to power them.
And all that is need to transmit BT is a plug in device.
That way older, still expensive, speakers will not become redundant.
With Digital TV here (which comes with sound obviously) whats to stop just the sound being transmitted wirelessly?

hmmm... as far as 1 grand hard drive players for the car goes... I use my ipaq (yet another use) with a couple of 512mb SD cards and a little device that plugs into the headset socket and transmits on fm so the car radio can pick it up!

i didnt say the idea of wireless speakers was stupid. i meant it is in practice. because if your using a dedicated 5.1 or thx system you would have up to 8 power cables. its stupid. optical cables are not only more reliable but can transfer data at an unbelievable yet unknown limit on its speed. what hi-fi uk reviewed this subject in feb or march isuue. will confirm.
optical cables also transmit power. bluetooth and wi-fi do not. also technology grows at such a rate that by the time you buy something new, its old!
bluetooth headphones exist. they're big and yellow. i remember seeing a thread about them on cliesource.com.
the rome player technology has been pushed to its limits. the techs about 3 years old.
anyway, if sony have anything to do with developing these products, dont expect much.
nowadays they concentrate more on tie-in sales rather than giving you what you need.
eg. vaio laptops with built in bluetooth will NOT work with full router adsl modems not made by sony.
making the inventel bluedsl useless.
sony have made sure bluespace has priority and bluespace doesnt allow all features or coms unless connecting to a sony product.
ps- orangeman, i wasnt calling you or anyone else stupid. its just that the idea frustrates me as it would be good but is now where near practical......yet.

Its time a big electronics firm invested the time and money to make these. I also think the bt hp printer is a nice piece of kit.

@masseur . . . . . cheers for the link - a 5 gb B/T HDD is not quite what I had in mind though. May as well carry my laptop with me :-)

I met an Apple guy once who was looking to use Bluetooth for a wireless subwoofer only. The speakers themselves would remain wired.
Personally, I really like my HP995c printer, and Microsoft mouse/keyboard. With the latest Widcomm stack (1.4x) they all work together too!
