looking for some speakers for my powerbook, and i was wondering if anyone had knowledge of a bluetooth receiver for speakers? i like keeping the wires to a minimum, but i'd also like a little more bass from my music. thanks for any suggestions.

Here is something along those lines: http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=290

Probably useful for streaming music from your powerbook to speakers across the room or elsewhere closeby. Not exactly sure what you had in mind, but no matter how you slice it, there will be wires since each speaker has to be powered. Alot of 2.1 computer speakers are interconnected in some fashion so that it plugs into your computer with a single jack.

Splijinx, that seems like it might be what i'm looking for! i'm not quite sure how it works though. looks like 2 parts: one to the speakers and one to the source? if that's the case, you're right...i'll still have cables to the powerbook. cables to the speakers are fine since i'm not carrying them/working on them. well, thanks for the link...i'll have to take a closer look.
