A cheetah, a hippo and a broken leg
|
Up to now it had been a perfect day. Mark was enjoying the smell of freshly-baked bread as he sat in his kitchen with today’s newspaper and a cup of coffee, singing along to Kelly Clarkson’s “What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger”. Suddenly his mobile ringtone cut through the air, sending a sudden bolt of stress through Mark’s body. With the speed of a cheetah and the elegance of a hippopotamus, Mark fought his way in a direct line towards the iPhone speaker, where his iPhone was docked in order to make Kelly Clarkson’s hit resound in every corner of the apartment. Lying in a hospital bed with his legs in plaster and elevated by a white crane-like machine, Mark now replays in slow motion how he steered between the sofa and the armchair to take the direct line to his iPhone, and then found to his cost that his foot caught on the coffee table, almost strengthening the relentless pull of gravity on his entire bodyweight towards the opposite end of the coffee table, where the brittle sound of shinbone meeting table edge was followed a microsecond later by excruciating pain. He remembered the almost endless calm before he saw the need to crawl towards the small table where the iPhone speaker sat so that he could contact the outside world and phone for help. The individual and this particular story are fictitious. And here at Sandberg we would really like to prevent this happening in real life! That is one of the reasons why we have developed the “Bluetooth Link for iPhone Dock”. Mark could have placed this in his iPhone speaker. He would then have been able to keep his iPhone in his pocket and still listen to Kelly Clarkson’s simple lyrics and breathtaking voice through the speaker. He could have just put his hand in his pocket and avoided the disastrous charge through the apartment. And it doesn’t stop there! Because with this product from Sandberg, an iPhone speaker can also be used for all Bluetooth devices, from the PlayStation 3 and most laptops to Nokia and Android mobiles, tablets, MP3 players and more. You simply place the gadget over the iPhone socket on the speaker and you can then connect wirelessly. It’s like having a remote control in your pocket. |
