Music on mobiles phones: The past present and future
Posted: 30 January 2009
Next month sees the launch of the 2009 GSMA Mobile World Congress and one of the key areas that will be up for discussion is how music has now become an integral part of the mobile phones industry.
Taking place in Barcelona between February 16th and 19th, the organisers of the event have dedicated a one-day conference - entitled Mobile Backstage - to looking at how the various elements of modern cellular and web technology is impacting the needs of the consumer in this field.
It was announced this week that Black Eyed Peas vocalist Will.i.am will be in attendance at the event and will deliver a keynote speech to the gathered visitors. The star has himself recently set up Dipdive - a site which d ...
Nokia 5800 success shows users ditching iPods for music phones?
Posted: 27 January 2009
The Nokia 5800 looks set to become one of the most popular mobile phones ever released; MobileWhack are reporting that after Friday's official UK release of the Nokia 5800, and including previous sales in overseas markets such as Russia, the Finnish manufacturer have shipped 1 million units of the new touchscreen music phone. But the success of the Nokia 5800 is also raising an important question about how people use their phones.

Get yourself the best smartphone in the world
The mobile world is constantly evolving, and as it progresses, a trend is beginning to emerge. Phones are getting smarter; they're doing more, and becoming more than ever before. We're in a period that can definitely be summed up as the rise of the smartphone, with these mobile powerhouses going from strength to strength every day.
There's a question, though, that crops up from time to time, and it's simply 'which is the best smartphone you can get?' Before that can be answered, however, it may be a good idea to actually define what a smartphone is, since simply saying that the best smartphones do everything is accurate, but a little bit ...

Posted: 5 January 2009
There are a number of things for those shopping for the latest mobile phones to look forward to in 2009, with LG leading the high-tech charge, according to some reports.
It has emerged that the South Korean manufacturer, which put out flagship handsets such as the LG KC910 Renoir in 2008, is hoping to launch a new state-of-the-art model that incorporates 3G technology into a wristwatch-style mobile.
Equipped with a 1.43-inch touchscreen, it is thought the phone will allow video and voice calling, as well as offer high-speed internet access and mp3 playback. LG Electronics recently put out a statement in which it offered details of the gadget, which it will unveil at the upcoming Consumer Elect ...
Nokia re-enters the touchscreen war
Posted: 5 January 2009
The number of touchscreen mobile phones currently available means a great deal of choice is available for those in the market for the latest handsets. However, Nokia has now entered the war to have the most sought after model with the XpressMusic 5800 and the N97.
However, with previous phones such as the 7710 and 7700, the Finnish manufacturer has had a rocky road to get to its latest flagship handsets - as a number of reviews were a little unkind to early attempts to utilise touchscreen technology.
Many people consider the Apple iPhone to be the first mobile to truly offer a touch interface and although the device has revolutionised the way we look at such mobiles - as well as set the bar high ...
