Wireless capabilities have reached such a level that there are more than common nowadays. Bluetooth, infrared, Wi-Fi, you name it, that's all common sense. Besides data transfers, Bluetooth also serves for connecting your wireless headset. That's a feature supported via the A2DP Bluetooth capability, which also provides for wireless stereo streaming to a supported devices, such as portable speakers, sound systems, etcetera.

The iPhone 3G and 3GS both support that, and it's a shame that there aren't many devices that can receive Bluetooth streaming. iSkin comes to save the day for you by introducing the Cerulean RX. Etymology says that RX was the common abbreviation used in telegraphy, later used in Morse code. Nowadays, it is a common nickname for any standalone receiver and that's exactly what the Cerulean RX is. It's a A2DP Bluetooth receiver created to provide a wire-free connection between your iPhone and your docking station (if provided with speakers).

Now, you can take advantage of your iPhone's capability of streaming stereo music, adding Bluetooth connectivity to any powered docking speaker for iPod. You only have to stick the Cerulean RX in the dock, where you would normally place your iPhone and then quickly setup the connection through your iPhone UI and you're good to go. No external power needed for the RX, since it draws power from the dock.

You can also use an iPod dock and connect the Cerulean RX to your home stereo entertaining system. Even though it sports the "Made for iPod" sticker, this little fellow can be paired, besides Mac, with other Bluetooth-enabled devices that support A2DP stereo streaming, for added versatility.

The Cerulean RX does not interfere with your calls, resuming playback only after you end the call. Where's an RX, there must be a TX as well. Cerulean provides a transmitter, in case you want to add Bluetooth streaming to your iPod, first gen iPhone, Mac or PC. All of these let you enjoy wireless audio from up to 9 meters away, so you can wander around the house freely without having to reconnect when done with your calls.

Pricing for this is $129.99 for both the TX and RX directly on iSkin's website.
