Denon introduces AirApple Play CD receiver in Japan

Apple will succeed where other failed lamentably in Japan several years ago, and lord I whished I could remember the name of the technology used 6 years ago on Sony, Sharp, Kenwood, Pioneer and Denon Compact Hi-Fi that was actually doing pretty much the same as Apple AirPlay but failed to catch-on.

Anyway, Denon has for us today in Japan a new Compact CD player the RCD-N7, your average Compact Hi-Fi with Radio and CD player but coming with Wi-Fi, DLNA ver1.5, iPod & iPhone 4 Dock and Apple AirPlay support.

Less Sexy but still pretty much useful, our RCD-N7 comes with Windows Media Player 11 support as well as being capable to handle the following media type MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV (linear PCM), WMA Lossless and FLAC.

Also compatible with Denon iPod Touch and iPhone “Remote App” the RCD-N7 and also features a “VTuner” for Internet Radio.

Jabra Go 660 Bluetooth headset 'solution' pairs an Extreme with a USB adapter

Jabra certainly loves to trumpet the noise cancellation abilities of its Bluetooth headsets, and while our own experiences haven't quite lived up to the hype,

we always look forward to the company's latest name for its noise cancellation tech. Disappointing, then, that the new Jabra Go 660 "headset solution" (with its Extreme ear jewelry) is said to be the company's "first Bluetooth headset with Noise Blackout Extreme.

" That's despite the Stone shipping with tech that went by the same name this time last year. Hopefully that system has been improved since then and will now actually live up to its name, putting background noise in a headlock and rendering it completely unconscious.

In addition to the headset you get a USB Bluetooth adapter for a computer so that you can quickly go from VOIP to voicemail. The Go 660 is available now for $110, including the adapter -- which of course you won't need if your system is already down with the Bluetooth.
