Link: www.bose.com
Cost: ranges around $99

The new version allows BlackBerry users to get Last.fm auto-scrobbling support with FlipSide. What that means is that when you listen to a song, the name of the song is sent to Last.fm and [...]

While I was at CES I came across a live demo Gracenote on a BlackBerry 8300 Curve. Most of you will have no idea what Gracenote is unless you have used it before.
