BlackBerry Music Gateway goes on sale
You many remember that when I was at BlackBerry World last month we showed you a video of the new BlackBerry Music Gateway that RIM were demonstrating.
If you are not familiar with the product I will summarize it. Essentially, the Gateway is a small gadget that connects to your TV or stereo system and by using NFC on your BlackBerry you connect your device to it with a quick tap and then control music output and volume controls via the handset itself. Not only perfect for at home but great for parties allowing multiple users to play what ever music they happen to have on their BlackBerry. I don’t have a UK price as yet but the in the USA the Music Gateway is priced at $49.99 which seems very reasonable.
If you missed my hands on video you can see it again below and we will of course have one of these in for a review ASAP.
