Sony’s Latest Wireless Speakers with a 150 Foot Range

I’ll give you some speakers which, thank God, have not been developed with the renowned iPod in mind. This is, as a matter of fact, obvious, as the speakers are signed Sony and the company tried several times to destroy iPod’s supremacy. If you remember, earlier this summer, Sony Electronics gas rolled out a challenger for the iPod Nano and others versions of the Walkman series.

Moreover, this speaker system is compatible with a wide range of devices, really weird for a Sony product, as usually they are well-matched with other previously released Sony branded items and not with the ones of the challengers’. These speakers look nice, but they don’t feature such a great design for a Sony gadget. I would have expected more from them. On the other hand, they offer an enhanced wireless capability which lets you listen to your music within a 150 foot range of the base transmitter for a long time as they come with Ni-MH type rechargeable batteries. The manufacturer didn’t reveal the precise battery life.

Sony’s Wireless RF Speakers come with a low weight of only 146 g (without the transmitter), measuring 234 x 300 x 126 mm (also without the transmitter).

The magnetically shielded Sony Wireless RF Speakers also come with 900MHz wireless speaker system, manual tuning dial for an enhanced reception, two inputs for connecting both PC and portable audio player, one direct analog audio input on main body, a total output power of 2W, and a 57mm neodymiun magnet unit.

The Sony Wireless RF Speakers are available directly from the Sony Style online store for $99.

Classic Joke !!!

An 80-year old Italian man goes to the doctor for a check-up .

The doctor is amazed at what good shape the guy is in and asks, "How do you stay in such great physical condition?"

I'm Italian and I am a golfer," says the old guy," and that's why I'm in such good shape." I'm up well before daylight and out golfing up and down the fairways." "Have a glass of vino, and all is well."

"Well," says the doctor, "I'm sure that helps, but there's got to be more to it. How old was your Dad when he died?"

" Who said my Dad's dead?"

The doctor is amazed. "You mean you're 80 years old and your Dad's still alive. How old is he?"

"He's 100 years old," says the old Italian golfer. "In fact he golfed with me this morning, and then we went to the topless beach for a walk, that's why he's still alive ... he's Italian and he's a golfer too."

"Well," the doctor says, "that's great, but I'm sure there's more to it than that. How about your Dad's Dad? How old was he when he died?"

" Who said my grandpa's dead?"

Stunned, the doctor asks, "You mean you're 80 years old and your grandfather's still living! Incredible, how old is he?"

"He's 118 years old," says the old Italian golfer. The doctor is getting frustrated at this point, "So, I guess he went golfing with you this morning too?"

"No. Grandpa couldn't go this morning because he's getting married today."

At this point the doctor is close to losing it. "Getting married!! Why would a 118 year-old guy want to get married?"

" Who said he wanted to?"
