Pocketable P2 speaker takes a shake to rock ‘n’ roll

Gesture-controlled BeoPlay lovlieness for £149

Were you to try and take a rolling pin to B&O’s BeoPlay A1 speaker, you’d learn an important lesson about just how stubborn aluminium molecules can be. No need to go all nanobot on them electrons; just get this new P2 speaker, that looks like a rolled out A1. It has similar drivers, in order to create a cavernous sound from its pocketable size, and it still has a microphone so you can use it as a handsfree or a mini-Siri dispenser. No buttons on the £149 P2, but app-configurable shake and tap gestures do your skipping and whatnotting.

About

Fraser used to wear a Psion Series 3 palmtop in a shoulder holster. Perhaps he still does.Either way, his lifelong mission - including fourteen years for Stuff - has been to see whether the consumer electronics industry can ever replicate that kind of cyborgian joy.So far: nope. Despite a plan to combine a action camera and Olympus Eye-Trek goggles to become Man Who Sees The Vision Of A Man Three Inches Taller Than Himself.He also likes mountain bikes, motorbikes, cars, helicopters. Still thinks virtual surround is witchcraft. Dislikes jetskis, despite never having been on one.
