Sony Ericsson’s own ambassador - Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova - wore a rather striking dress at an event in London on the 17th June. What’s so unique about it is that it uses Bluetooth to connect to your phone and lights up when you’ve got an incoming call. That way you know when someone’s calling you even when you can’t hear your phone (say, in a noisy club). This “light up” effect is described to originate from “small, white translucent scale embellishments that run down one side of the dress from the shoulder to the hip”.
The concept dress was designed by George Davies, a London College of Fashion student. The prototype garment is still far from being a commercial product, so you gals should probably stop wondering how on earth you’d have to wash this thing.

Today Sony Ericsson added yet another Bluetooth speaker to its accessory portfolio - the MS-500. Unlike its siblings, though, this one is very light, it’s so small that it can “fit in the palm of your hand” and is designed so that you can enjoy your music outside without worrying th
at something could happen to it. It’s got a splash proof shell and a handy strap, which you can use to safely attach the speaker to a bag, your wrist or… something else.
Furthermore, the speaker can’t be recharged. It is powered by two AA batteries, which you can swap anywhere in case you’re out of juice. Speaking of which, the speaker can stream music up to five hours. What’s interesting is that the speaker has a DSP chip which is used to enhance the audio output - sweet! It’s also got Bluetooth v2.1 (obviously), supporting the A2DP and AVRCP profiles, which means that it can be used with most current Sony Ericsson phones plus those from other brands.
The MS-500 will be released in 2 colours - black with orange (apparently, the stripe on the side) and white with pink. Boy, I’d love to have one of these!
