I have wanted one for my car for Pandora and BB Traffic. That would be the killer application for it. Now I just need to update my head unit to have a headphone jack...
I suppose you could pick up a USB charger pack. They are quite cheap, then you would have the best of both worlds and could use it on your phone if you wished as well?
The NFC feature is nice too. As soon as I plugged it in, the LED was flashing and I just touched it with my phone. paired!. cool.
I have the original, looks about the same size, but a lil more square. That dose work, I have a cheap wireless charger, and I sometimes plug it into my gateway when I hook it to a portable amplified speaker, then it will stay on for at least 3 days before the batt dies, so it can't be using much power.
Yeah, since it's powered off USB it's fairly flexible in terms of how you can run it.
I've gotta say, this looks like a cool little unit. Interesting.
My concern with regards to the original were the extra wires. Nitpicking, really (though it irked me that it was inconvenient to use in car with ancient sound system).

Honestly, extra wires, the new and old gateway hook up the same way, audio out jack and power cord, the diffrences between to two, new one has NFC for easy pair, and has micro usb for power. Old has mini usb for power. Other than that and genral looks they are the same.
For all the people wanting to put it in the car. Just do what I do. Get the blackberry visor mount and run the audio through the car speakers via the fm transmitter.
