VIDEO: Sony Smart Bluetooth Speaker talks plays music and dances with you

Some phones have decent speakers these days but when you really want to bring your tunes to life there's nothing better than an external speaker, and Sony has a new one which looks really interesting.

The Smart Bluetooth Speaker can of course pair with your phone to bust out your tracks but it also does a whole lot more. Once synched with an Android phone you can say 'Ok Speaker' and give it a host of commands, including checking your test messages, placing a call, playing a track and more. It's got some Google Now style functionality as well, so you can also get weather updates and it will work as an alarm clock.

It's all in a compact unit that's just 100mm high and weighs 349g. And it's got a unique design as well, with a touch panel on the front and a cool LCD display which can change to many different colours. But the stand out feature is definitely the little ear like things which pop out on either side. They also light up and can move in and out, while you can smack them to snooze an alarm or pause the music.
