I’ve been traveling a lot lately and apart from packing my iPod with 8 hours worth of music, I’ve come to grow into the whole audiobook thing. Yeah, they’ve been around for a long time - audiobooks - but its been loads easier to load them up on an iPod from a seller like Audible.

In my last post I briefly mentioned how the ROKR E8 implements a technology called “Song ID.” This is an interesting new kind of database identification for wireless devices. It’s the first time I’ve seen it implemented on a device so let me tell you about it.
Have you ever had that experience where you just […]

Skeptical as I was, I did try it and boy were my reservations put aside. The W230 is the cheapest mobile phone with good (read: LOUD) MP3 audio playing capability. The W230 is capable of playing up to 2GB of music via microSD card. Perhaps the closest reservation I had was the fact that it […]

“Music on the outside, phone on the inside” seems to be the new slogan for these clamshell phones that are also marketed as MP3 players. What makes the Sony Ericsson W380i unique is a new feature called Gesture Control. If you want to mute an incoming call or stop an alarm all you need to […]

This was the rather wild video of dancing girls and such other moderated frivolity that spun the night during the Nokia Red and Black party. The event was held in Manila, Philippines for the launch of the Nokia 5310 Xpress Music Phone. Check out Nikka Abes’ dress!

So yeah, this is a blog all about cellphones. So why are we talking about the iPod touch? I managed to try one today at a media event and all I can say is that one needs to take a step back and think about where the iPod touch falls in comparison to the iPhone […]

Back in 2001, the “in thing” was having a mobile phone with Bluetooth and a personal digital assistant. The latter allowed you to keep schedule, listen to music and view photos while your phone simply allowed you to send away text messages. You could sync both devices wirelessly, and this was the beginning of how […]

I’m in Singapore! Although the Nokia Go Play event ended several hours ago (we took a post event trip to Equinox, a bar located at the highest peak of Singapore), there are a lot more things happening tomorrow. In the meantime let me give an overview of what took place today as Nokia launched several […]

The Nokia “Go Play” press invite is around the blogosphere. The “Go Play” is allegedly the iTunes-like service that Nokia has been keeping under its coat for so long. With Apple expanding to phones and Nokia expanding to music, the cross-referencing of business models makes for a rather confusing take on what “core competency” used […]
