Beats Pill is "just what the Doctor ordered:" Bluetooth NFC speaker with pill-like design

If you care about audio, Beats mission (not without its commercial justification) is one that should resonate with you - bringing higher quality sound to your ear canals. And now Dr Dre and Jimmy Iovine introduced the Beats Pill, a pill-resembling small Bluetooth speaker that should take directly on the Jawbone Jambox.

The Beats Pill costs the same $199 and it is available starting today in black, red and white. It pairs via Bluetooth 4.0 to both Android and iOS devices (and without a doubt Windows Phone too).

While the main goal of the Beats Pill is to bring quality music wirelessly, it also doubles as a speakerphone for your calls.

The device consists of four built-in speakers, and overall it lasts for 7 hours. That’s shorter that the 10-hour battery span on the Jambox. Quite neatly, the Pill also features an NFC chip for easy pairing with devices. Check it all out below and head to the source to get yours.
