Yamaha has announced they'll be releasing a speaker in Japan specifically designed to play music from a mobile phone via a bluetooth connection. Japan's mobile phones generally include comparatively large amounts of data storage and media playing capabilities, contributing to the decline of MP3 hardware. Yamaha's speaker and receiver are tiny cubes, measuring 3.3 x 4.6 x 3.3 inches and 1.7 x 1.8 x 1.7 inches, respectively. They should be available in February at a yet-to-be determined price.

Products like this for stand alone MP3 players, such as FM transmitters and speaker docks, have enabled users to free their music from a solitary listening experience. As mobile phones gradually become the main vehicle for portable music, accessories will increasingly mirror MP3 hardware additions
