Sony Rolly Gets Bluetooth Mobile Phone Control
The Sony Rolly has always been an enigma to me.
Ok, it’s cute - It’s probably one of the cutest small speakers around.
But.
It’s a portable, trundling, dancing speaker - but the sound isn’t great for £250.
It’s a music player able to stream via A2DP Bluetooth or play from its internal flash but there’s no place to shove your 3.5mm lead.
Sony are now updating it - and it will be controlled by YOU!! MWAHAHAHAHH!!!
Ahem. Next month, Japanese Rolly buyers will be able to get the new SEP-50BT version complete with Bluetooth controls thus allowing them to make Rolly dance and spin like a performing monkey-bot all directed via their mobile phones.
I can imagine the high jinks and thoroughly wicked japes to be had through controlling the egg-shaped dancing speaker under somones chair and then unleashing a choice cut from ‘Cannibal Corpse’ as the little mp3 player starts its own circle pit :)
The new system will actually give you control of up to seven of the little blighters at the same time using a mobile phone or laptop.
I reckon it’s time for some synchronised dancing……….
