Many advantage we could have using mobile phone. It's not just a good to keep us stay intouch, but it could represent the personality from the owner. And now, there is good news for they who love music and can't live without it. MP3 players now available in everywhere with various capacities, various models, and various price of course. No doubt that the raising of Mp3 format in has reduced popularity cassette player, and even cd's!!
Many vendors now launch mobile phones with mp3 player built in these days. A mobile phones and music player in one piece, isn't that cool? and also, the music player in the mobile phones also equipped with accessories that will complete the joyness listening music. Let's say graphic equalizer with many built in presets, bass bost, high quality earphones, and also the important factor is the space to store music files.
Recently, Nokia and Sony Ericsson had launched mobile phones with music player equipped with very large space to store file. Nokia vendor with Nokia N91 equipped it with 4 gigabytes space to keep music files! cool! that way it's called a Juke Box phone when its launched. Sony Ericsson with W900i, is equipped with 470 mb store that able to be expanded into 2 giga maxs using Memory Stick. Well, it's not as huge as N91's, but remember, N91's space is provided by mini harddisk as its media, since W9001 using flash. We also know that harddisk has a moving component inside it since flash doesn't. So, you better becareful not to shake your N91 (or drop it) because you could damage the harddisk and risk loosing your music files. Flash is safer because there is no moving component inside it since it using magnetic to store files, but it's more expensive.
Actually, Samsung also launched mobile phone with 3 gigs based microdrive format. It uses Microsoft Windows Mobile as OS and of course it has a built in music player application. I think music player application ini this device is only as accessories, I mean, by using Windows OS, the vendor target this device for executive or work companion. There is no dedicated music application button in it, which N91 and W900i has. But the advantage is, it could handle WMF music format that other brand can't.
Is this phenomenon gonna kill ipod? we know ipod is the most popular digital music player. One thing for sure, those who has ipod, I am sure they have mobile phone, but those who have phone, not all of them have ipod. So, you better carry one thing that could do two things rather than carry two things with their own function?

Mobile Phones To Help Fight Crime
A new scheme has been launched in three towns across the UK, encouraging people to report anti-social behaviour using their mobile camera phones. Harlow in Essex (home town of Mouse2house.co.uk) as well as Bristol and Ipswich have been given the opportunity to test this new way of reporting anti-social behaviour.
Initially residents are being invited to snap photos of graffiti and vandalism using their mobile phones, which can then be sent over the mobile phone network to council officers on 07739 888 558 with the word Harlow, Bristol or Ipswich (depending on which town you are in) followed by details of where the offence has taken place. Once the image/s are received at the council offices they will then be added to the anti-social behaviour database, which is shared across several other organisations. The cost of sending a message is dependent on the person's mobile phone tariff.
Harlow council joint leader Cllr Chris Millington said: "This new service will help increase people's involvement in making Harlow a safer, cleaner place to live by expanding the ways in which these crimes are reported to us". "It's important to stress," said the other joint leader, Cllr Kevin Brooks, "that we don't want people to put themselves at risk by photographing perpetrators as they commit the crime, but photos of damage caused by anti-social behaviour will be useful in monitoring activity and building up evidence".
According to a police spokesman, the police in Harlow welcome this partnership initiative as it encourages residents to become involved in helping towards the improvement of the environment and local community. If the scheme is proven to be successful in the three towns, it is proposed that the scheme is rolled out across the rest of the country.
This type of scheme demonstrates the changing face of the mobile phone and it's use. It is no longer just a device for making phone calls, but a mobile device with many uses i.e. photos, video, music, note taking, voice recording etc. Imagine if you are unfortunately involved in a minor motor accident, you would be able to take photographic, video and audio records of the incident details which can later be used as evidence if necessary, no more 3rd parties denying that the accident took place or changing the story of what actually happened!
If you already have one of these great devices, don't forget the most important part, the memory card to record on to. You can get exactly what you need from www.mouse2house.co.uk, where else!
