ANYCOM has announced the availability of BluNa- the world's first Bluetooth adapter designed especially for the iPod nano, carrying the logo "Made for iPod," from Apple.
BluNa transmits music wirelessly in crystal clear, digital quality from the iPod nano to any Bluetooth receiver, including speakers, headphones, computers or stereo systems.
When users plug BluNa into an iPod nano, they receive automatic playability with the paired mobile device. Since there is no pairing button, pairing will be done automatically and stored for future connections. To pair for the first time, users simply put the receiving device into pairing mode.
BluNa is Bluetooth 1.2, Class 2, supporting the A2DP profile. The sleek design weighs less than 10 grams, and is available in black and white.
"We are thrilled to unveil the world’s first Bluetooth adapter made exclusively for the iPod nano,” said ANYCOM managing director, Walter Daguhn. “The compact form and light weight will allow users to listen to their iPod nanos wirelessly and without a clunky adapter. The detail and precision allow BluNa to fit perfectly with the dimensions of the iPod nano, and in turn to become a single mechanical object."
The multi-functional iPod nano adapter can be used in several settings:
• Use BluNa with the ANYCOM BIWAS-20 Bluetooth speaker to send tunes wirelessly from your iPod nano to the speaker in different rooms in your house or outdoors. (Bundle MSRP $349.99). • Pair it with the ANYCOM BSH-100 headphones. Listen to the music wirelessly from your iPod nano and simultaneously sync the BSH-100 with your cell phone. When a call comes in, the iPod nano will automatically pause for the user to take the call, and then resume when the call is finished. (Bundle MSRP $229.99). • Connect with a stereo system using ANYCOM’s Bluetooth Stereo Receiver. • ANYCOM will soon offer a car audio adapter that can receive Bluetooth audio streams and play through the car stereo system.
Bluetooth Remote Control Function (AVRCP) has also been implemented in BluNa, so that song selection, play, pause and stop commands can be given from the ANYCOM stereo headphone.
BluNa is available for $119.99 and includes an AC power supply to charge the iPod nano quickly without a USB connection. It is also compatible with other Bluetooth devices like stereo headsets from Logitech, Motorola or Plantronics.
By detaching a part of the BluNa, the adapter can also be used on any other iPod with a dock connector, including the iPod mini and iPod video models.
