The Sony Bluetooth Receiver MBR-100 is pretty much what the name indicates - a Bluetooth receiver. You plug the MBR-100 into a home or car stereo and stream stored music from any phone that supports the Bluetooth stereo A2DP profile.

You’ll only need to pair up your phone to the receiver once and then you can simply get back in range to reconnect. Once in range and streaming music , you can use the phone as a wireless remote to play, pause and track skip the tunes. When available early 2007, the shiny black Sony Bluetooth Receiver will ship with a rechargeable battery and both RCA and 3.5 mm cables so it’ll plug into most electronic devices.

Now if you can sync it with other devices (potential hack alert!) or even stream video, it would be immensely more useful to people with various portable media players and devices with a bit more storage capacity than a cell phone’s memory card. It also doesn’t sound like it’ll stream a phone conversation to the speakers to help make a hands-free kit, but if you get word that it does, please let us know.
