Sony Ericsson unveils the Bluetooth Media Viewer MMV100

9 March 2004 15:36 GMT / By Stuart Miles

Sony today announced a series of new peripherals to aid users of Bluetooth devices. The most innovative of the bunch was the MMV-100, a device that allows you to view images and play audio from your phone on your television or projector using a dongle that plugs into an available scart or audio/video RCA cable socket.

Instead of pairing just one phone with one Bluetooth device, the MMV-100 can handle ‘many-to-one' connectivity, meaning several people can use their phones to transfer images to one screen. It also enables the transfer of AMR and MP3 audio files directly from a Bluetooth equipped mobile phone enabling music files to be enjoyed through the superior sound of a television's speakers.

Sony Ericsson plan to have the unit in shops sometime in Q2 with a retail price around the £85 mark.
