Nokia announces Harman JBL speakers with Windows Phone 8 NFC support and Lumia colors
|Looks like a pre-announcement for next week. The link to Bloomberg from the post provides more info. The lead in explicitly discusses next week’s Windows Phone 8 announcement and then this:
JBL, a unit of Harman International Industries Inc. (HAR), and Nokia will develop speakers equipped with Bluetooth and near field communication, or NFC, wireless technologies, Hans Henrik Lund, head of accessories at the mobile-phone maker, said in an interview. Speakers will come in a variety of colors, including“bold” yellow, as Nokia sticks to coordinating device and accessory design, Lund said.
So this is part of building an ecosystem and I like it.
