Motorola's ROKR T505 Taps into Car Speakers
October 31, 2007 | by Nick Mokey
Rather than relying on an wimpy built-in speaker, the ROKR T505 sends both music and voice from Bluetooth-enabled devices through a car's audio system for clarity and volume.
Drawing on the same phone-and-music blend that serves as the basis for the ROKR handset, Motorola announced a new ROKR hands-free device for the car on Wednesday. The ROKR T505 pumps both music and voice from a Bluetooth-enabled phone or MP3 player through a car stereo, via an integrated FM transmitter.
To make sure callers aren’t greeted with an ear-splitting dose of AC/DC when you pick up the phone in the car, the T505 automatically cuts off music when you take a call, and cancels out noise and echoes. It also does the grunt work of finding the clearest FM station for you with Motorola’s StationFinder technology. The device clips onto a visor, so there’s no installation necessary, and its batteries should last for about 14 days on standby, or a full 18 hours of talking.
The ROKR T505 will appear in the first quarter of 2008, but Motorola hasn’t yet announced a price for it.
