The good: The RIM BlackBerry Music Gateway offers a simple and affordable way to push smartphone audio to older home entertainment products. Setting up the device is a snap and even easier with an NFC-enabled BlackBerry. It's also compatible with other Bluetooth phones and tablets.
The bad: Streaming video to the Music Gateway is not an option. NFC compatibility with non-RIM handsets isn't guaranteed.
The bottom line: RIM's BlackBerry Music Gateway makes it dead simple to enjoy smartphone audio in the living room.

Good Product overall.
by mobilejw on September 6, 2012
Pros: Had a really good time with it lately at a party. Worked well with my friend's android too. If you're a Blackberry user I highly recommend it. If you have a Playbook even better. Also worked well in the car.
Cons: If you have an iphone its not for you since apple has not yet embraced NFC tech. Hopefully iphone 5 will.
Summary: RIM needs to create more than just a great phone but a great Blackberry experience by leveraging the power of their technology. This is a good step in that direction.
