hello karaoke fans I'm Luke Westway for CNET's here at CES 2013 checking out the Philips AEA 7100 Star Maker so this is pretty simple what you've got is an 8 watt speaker and a microphone and this free app which is the Star Maker app plugs into the top of the speaker now the app itself is free so what you're paying for is all the extra kit it's not too hard to use you get a list of songs on the app here it's running on an iPad but I assume you could also use it for an iPhone iPod touch anything iOS basically you choose a song you set it to record it plays through the speaker and you sing along in the microphone the microphone communicates with the speaker via bluetooth if you think you can do better than all of your favorite pop stars you can upload your vocal creations to Facebook and share them with your friends who I'm sure will be very very happy to hear your efforts it's quite an expensive way of getting your karaoke kicks is certainly more pricey than just singing along to the radio it costs one hundred and eighty dollars but the good news is that you can buy it now from the Apple store so that's everything you need to know let us know whether you would have the guts to use this product I'm Luis Rey for CNET and this is the Philips AE a 70 100 Star Maker now if you'll excuse me
