Hasta La Gadget!

Bose has just announced their latest SoundLink product, which so happens to be the Bose SoundLink Bluetooth speaker III. Touted to be the best-performing Bluetooth speaker from Bose to date, it is said to deliver a brand new level of audio performance, coming in an all-new design, sports a longer battery life, and will be accompanied by accessory covers in five different colors. Not only that, it will also be able to hook up sans wires to your smartphone, tablet or basically, any other kind of device that has Bluetooth capability, so that you can share your favorite music out loud regardless of where you are.

This particularly new SoundLink III will integrate Bose proprietary technologies so that it can reproduce music with fullness, clarity and depth. A quartet of neodymium transducers and dual-opposing passive radiators will work in tandem with a new digital signal processing algorithm alongside improved electronics to play louder compared to its predecessor, all the while maintaining its balanced and natural sound at higher listening levels.

Apart from that, what is the point of having something that sounds good if it does not look pleasing to the eye at all? The Bose SoundLink III will be a sight to behold as well, where it is beautifully crafted and engineered for durability as well as grab-and-go use. Sporting a new industrial design that has been inspired by the SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speaker, this particular model would be sturdily built, where it has curved edges and a thin profile which would do away with the need for a built-in cover or stand. Not only that, there will also be a silicone button panel that offers additional protection from dirt and dust, and a wraparound metal grille which will do its bit to resist fingerprints. If you feel that it needs another level of personalization and added protection, then you will be pleased to hear that the new accessory covers will come in gray, blue, green, orange and pink shades.

The entire shebang tips the scales at a mere 3 pounds, where it measures approximately 5” in height, 10” wide and 2” deep. Each of these puppies would come with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that delivers up to 14 hours of listening. The asking price? £259.95 a pop.

Cars are dangerous, all the more when drivers reach for controls positioned at arm’s length. Road risk is increased by the fact that many drivers seek distraction or productivity while rolling along. Multitasking while behind the wheel can be more perilous than driving drunk.

The car also represents third-party business opportunities. It is an under-served mobile environment. Many apps that work beautifully at home or in a coffee shop, such as music playback or messaging, are halting or awkward in the rolling living room of a car.

The race is on for control of the car’s infotainment systems. Apple’s recently granted patent for a touchscreen dash is Cupertino’s aim toward owning the dashboard operating system and interface, in ways that hook into the company’s device and media businesses. But thorny competition comes not only from other tech companies, but also from the car companies. And whatever victories Apple enjoys in the dashboard could ultimately be neutered by longer-term automotive tech inventions.

Opinions about Bose’s consumer audio products aside, there’s no discrediting the extensive contributions its founder added to the world of amplified sound. On that note, we’re saddened to report that its Founder, Chairman and Technical Director, Dr. Amar Gopal Bose, has died — this, just two years after donating a majority of Bose Corporation shares to MIT. According to MIT News, after earning degrees in Electric Engineering at the college, he taught there from 1956 until 2001. While teaching, he studied physical and psycho-acoustics, which resulted in his patents in “acoustics, electronics, nonlinear systems and communication theory.” In 1964 he founded the company, Bose Corporation, that would bring us the well-known noise-cancelling headphones and audio systems that many have come cherish. An official statement from Bose Corp. and more info about the man himself can be found at the source links.
