Enjoy Music Via Mobile Phone

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?
