The BTM630 is Philips' new Bluetooth-enabled desktop audio system. It has an iPod dock embedded in the top, along with an SD card slot and a USB port. The slot-loading CD drive on the front can rip audio files that can then be transferred to a USB stick.
Any device equipped with stereo Bluetooth, like a cell phone, can play music from the phone over the BTM630. The LCD on the unit's face displays the song playing, and if someone calls mid-song, the system pauses, displays the caller's number and will allow hands-free Bluetooth calling. It's officially available in September for $199.
The device is just one of a handful of music-related products Philips showed off in San Francisco Thursday.
