Bluetooth media streamer

Bluetooth_vdp_box MSI has launched a Bluetooth video and audio streamer at CES called the Bluetooth VDP box.

After connecting it to a TV or video projector via the RCA connector you can stream 3GP and MP4 files wirelessly from your mobile phone, laptop or PDA.

It might seem like a useless item since you usually stream videos from one room to another and Bluetooth won't stretch further than 10m and rarely through a wall.

However, with mobile phones beginning to get outfitted with more memory (iPhone for example) this might be the perfect way to see those clips on a big screen.

It uses VDP, the video streaming profile and the A2DP audio streaming profile, which I've previously had problems with but it has now grown on me.
