Yubz, the company behind the retro cell phone handset, has now announced the Magnum, a portable Bluetooth music player and speakerphone combination device. It looks like one of those Bazooka tube subwoofers that go in a car's trunk--except much smaller, since apparently it's not much bigger than an iPhone, and it runs on four AA batteries for up to 10 hours at a time.

The Magnum connects to any Bluetooth 2.0 capable device, and will interrupt a music session to alert users to an incoming phone call. Answer by pressing the power button, at which point the contraption turns into a hands-free speakerphone. Once done with the call, press the power button again, and it returns to playing music.

The Magnum comes in a black leather finish with a separate carrying case, and the company offers optional AC power cables and adapters. Pre-order now at www.yubz.com for $130; no word yet on a release date.
