Review of the Supertooth Disco Bluetooth Speaker

If you’re like me and you hate cables between your devices then I’ve found a new gem you will likely enjoy. Introducing the Supertooth Disco, a bluetooth speaker that can sync to any audio device with an auxiliary or Bluetooth A2DP. Since we are an iPhone site we tried it out with our iPhone 4 and were quite happy with the experience.


Now the device is great as I mention in the video for small parties when you don’t want to leave your iPhone or iPod next to the device. Though the sound was very clear in the video, it is only a 28 watt RMS speaker, so you cannot expect to have the same results in an outside environment. If you ever need to however, I went approx. 100 ft. from the device with my iPhone and it stayed synced! The battery life is also very impressive as I’m going on day two without the AC Adapter in and the speaker is still going strong. Here’s the official Specs from SuperTooth.net

-Internal subwoofer amplifier power 12 Watt RMS.
- Internal left/right audio power amplifier.
- Subwoofer speaker, using Neodyne high efficiency.
- Left / right full range speaker with parabolic membrane.
- Adjustable volume control.
- Optimal sound quality.
- MP3 / Mp4 connected by cable to line input stereo jack 3.5 mm

Bluetooth File Transfer On iOS Devices – Celeste

Basically, the in-built bluetooth feature on iOS devices is totally useless when used natively. All you can do with it is use a bluetooth headset. Features like file transfer to PCs, other iOS devices and other phones are not supported, by default. This is where Celeste comes to the rescue! It’s the bluetooth app that Apple forgot! The only drawbacks are
i) that it can only be installed in jailbroken iDevices (here‘s a jailbreaking guide, and yes, its completely legal)
ii) that its compatible only with iOS 4.2 and above
iii) that its a paid app priced at $9.99
Oh well, its usefulness can definitely make you ignore its pricing. What else? You also get the Gremlin app worth $1.99, absolutely free with every purchase of Celeste. Gremlin is an app that adds received music and video files to your iPod library.
To get Celeste, just search for it in Cydia. It can be found in the modmyi repository. Here are a few self-explanatory screenshots.
