It seems Belkin aren't the only company offering you the chance to connect your iPod speaker systems to you iPod or mobile phone via Bluetooth.

iSkin, known more for its iPod cases, has said that is it venturing into the world of Bluetooth accessories with the soft launch of three Bluetooth-enabled gadgets.

Although not officially launching until next month, the company was showing off the Cerulean TX, Cerulean RX, Cerulean F1 and Cerulean X1 at MacWorld 2007 in San Francisco.

The Cerulean TX connects to your iPod to instantly stream music wireless and allow you, like the Belkin system to adjust volume and other iPod controls. The system automatically pairs with the Cerulean RX which sits in your iPod speaker system's dock and transmits the music to either the Cerulean TX or any compatible Bluetooth 2-enabled mobile phone.

Finally the company is offering the Cerulean F1 and Cerulean X1. The F1 is a Bluetooth headset that promises a talk time of 10 hours and a standby time of 300 hours, while the X1 is an set of in-ear headphones.

iSkin has not as yet confirmed any prices, however a spokeswomen for the company said that they will be available in the UK by the end of the year.
