Sony Ericsson accessorize to the maxBy Anthony Newman, Wednesday 3 September 2003
New Sony Ericsson accessories include a miniature car remote controlled by means of Bluetooth and a clip-on console style gamepad.

Sony Ericsson today announced two new unique accessories for their mobile phones. The Gameboard EGB-10 is an attachable game controller which is intended to give a true console-style feeling to playing mobile games. The Bluetooth CAR-100 is a small race-car that can be controlled with a Sony Ericsson mobile phone, which is certainly a unique surprise as far as phone accessories go. Gamers will recognise the form and features of the Gameboard EGB-10, featuring an 8-way control on the left side and four action-buttons on the right, for full two-handed game operation. Different features, such as ‘shoot’, ‘jump’, ‘brake’, etc can be assigned to the action buttons.

Ill: Sony Ericsson


The Gameboard is compatible with, and easy to attach to, the Z600 mobile phone and together with the rich colour screen, polyphonic sound and force feedback, gives a mobile gaming experience which is closer to a ‘real’ game console experience. Sony Ericsson emphasise the V-Rally game preloaded on the Z600, which leads us to the next accessory.

For the ones who want to experience car racing outside of the phone, the limited-edition Bluetooth CAR-100 is the perfect accessory for a Sony Ericsson Bluetooth phone. Not much larger than a matchbox, this little speedster has two gears and can be navigated from up to 10 meters’ distance with a phone’s keypad or joystick.

Ill: Sony Ericsson


Both the Gameboard and the Bluetooth car will be available in Winter 2003, although pricing is not yet announced.
