Peripherals specialist Logitech has launched a neat-looking speakerphone
that can also act as a stand for a smartphone or a tablet. Aimed at
mobile professionals or office workers seeking flexibility over meeting
rooms, the Mobile Speakerphone P710e
— which is Microsoft Lync-optimised, Cisco-compatible and
Skype-certified — allows you to set up audio and video conferences
anywhere you can get online.

smartphone or tablet. (Images: Logitech)
The Mobile Speakerphone P710e can pair with up to eight Bluetooth
devices, and connect with two simultaneously — a smartphone or tablet
and a keyboard, for example. Usefully, it also supports NFC (Near Field
Communications), making pairing a simple matter of touching an
NFC-enabled device to the speakerphone. The P710e also has a USB port
for charging and conventional wired connectivity to desktop or laptop
computers. According to Logitech, the speakerphone's battery will
deliver up to 15 hours of talk time.
Apart from NFC support, the other key feature about the P710e is its
sliding top cover, which opens to reveal a slot into which you can fit a
smartphone or a tablet, turning the speakerphone into a convenient
stand while conducting audio or video conferences on your mobile device. The

hours of talk time. (Images: Logitech)
Until we get a hands-on look at the Mobile Speakerphone P710e, we
can't comment on audio quality. According to Logitech, it features
"wideband audio and advanced Digital Signal Processing that enables
precise tuning for both the omni-directional mic and speaker so
conversations are more lifelike".
Logitech's Mobile Speakerphone P710e will be available worldwide in
November with a suggested price tag of £129.99 (inc. VAT) or $169.99.
