RIM getting ready for Remote Stereo Gateway

Bluetooth stereo gatewayLooks like RIM is getting ready for a Remote Stereo Gateway for music lovers. The Financial Post discovered this little Bluetooth powered device in recent FCC filings. This little device will allow you to connect this gateway to a music sound system via Bluetooth and control the music from your BlackBerry.
We have also been hearing rumors of a little pocket-sized GPS dongle for your device to allow Curve 8320 users to have GPS via Bluetooth. We heard it was because RIM was having troubles putting Wi-Fi and GPS together. But that’s just a minor rumor, nothing solid.

Slingbox for BlackBerry is coming soon!

Slingbox on BlackBerry 8120

Looks like Slingbox didn't forget about us BlackBerry users. They will be launching a BlackBerry client, which would allows users to stream HD (high definition) content to their BlackBerry from a home network. According to reports this application will be supported on most newer BlackBerry's including 3G, EDGE or Wi-Fi equipped devices. Keep in mind you will for sure need a truely unlimited data plan or a Wi-Fi Curve 8320/Pearl 8120 cause this will eat data. 

Watch for the Slingbox to make an appearance sometime later this year and will only cost about $29.99 USD (of course plus a Singbox device). If your not familiar with the Slingbox check it out here
