This is a sort of hardware / software announcement for Spotify, a hardware partnership with a number of big names in audio like Philips, Pioneer, Bang & Olufsen, Denon, Marantz and Yamaha that allows you to keep the party going on those Spotify playlists. Start playing one on your handset, click play on a compatible speaker system, and it will keep streaming on the speaker without interruption — even when you take a call or leave the vicinity of your WiFi network. The audio system will actually start streaming music directly from the cloud. That means you can, say, turn on an iPad in another room and let your party guests skip songs — though, granted, that might not be the greatest idea, depending on who you invite.
Specific devices have yet to be named, though compatible systems will be branded with a Spotify Connect logo, so you’ll know what you’re getting yourself into. Those should be arriving in a late-October / early-November timeframe. Spotify will be holding up its end of the bargain by rolling out a software update for iOS ahead of those launches. Android and other operating systems will be receiving it at a later date.

Yamaha has announced that it is now offering a new Bluetooth portable speaker designed for music fans that want to listen to their favorite tunes on the go. The Bluetooth speaker is called the PDX-B 11 and it is available for purchase right now. The speaker carries an MSRP of $179.95.
The Bluetooth speaker is designed to connect with any Bluetooth enabled smartphone, tablet, or computer. Yamaha promises powerful and dynamic sound and the speaker has a rugged design with a built-in carrying handle. It looks sort of like something you would find on stage at a concert more than your typical Bluetooth speaker.
The speaker is designed to automatically reconnect to the last device it was synced with automatically. That allows you to walk into the room with the speaker, push play on your favorite playlist, and the audio automatically streams if Bluetooth is turned on for your smartphone. The wireless range for the device is about 33 feet.
In addition to Bluetooth, the portable speaker also has a 3.5 mm stereo input for devices that don’t support Bluetooth. The speaker can be plugged into the wall for power and can be powered by six AA batteries on the go. The speaker promises about eight hours of use per battery set. The speaker has a four-inch cone woofer and a 1 3/8-inch tweeter. The speaker measures 8.25 x 9 3/8 x 9.5-inches and weighs 3.3 pounds. It’s offered in black and gray or solid black colors.
