1. A cellular communication device comprising:
- a cellular communication module configured to receive an incoming telephonic communication;
a memory module configured to store audio information received via a cellular communication network independent of the incoming telephonic communication;
a processor communicatively coupled to the memory module and configured to process the audio information and to output a digital representation of the audio information;
a local rechargeable battery configured to provide power to the processor; and
an interface configured to releasably engage with a docking mechanism of a separate sound system such that;
(1) a power supply of the separate sound system can recharge the local rechargeable battery via the interface;
(2) the digital representation can be communicated to the separate sound system via the interface; and
(3) a control signal of the cellular communication device can alter an operational parameter of the separate sound system in response to the incoming telephonic communication.
