PeerBox brings P2P music downloads to your mobile phone

PeerBox is a neat application that brings P2P music sharing to a mobile phone.

PeerBox lets you tap into over 50 million tunes available on P2P networks.

What’s really cool, though, are the different ways you can locate a tune using PeerBox.

 

Pictures of new Motorola ROKR E3

More pictures have emerged of the new Motorola ROKR E3. Latest in the line of seemingly doomed ROKR phones (the original ROKR E1 was the heavily-criticised iTunes phone, while the ROKR E2 still hasn’t been released yet!), the new ROKR E3 adds 3G support for US and European networks (UMTS 1900 and WCDMA 2100), as well as tri-band GSM, GPRS and EDGE.

Pictures of new Sony Ericsson W700 Walkman Phone

Sony Ericsson have announced the release of another new Walkman phone, the Sony Ericsson W700. Designed to supersede last year’s W800i, the W700 is the 8th Walkman phone from Sony Ericsson, and comes in a fetching titanium finish. The release date of the Sony Ericsson W700 is the second quarter of 2006.

The W700 comes with 2 megapixel camera, and can store up to 2GB (or 47 CD’s worth) of tunes using a Memory Stick PRO Duo. It seems to be a very well-specified phone, with a good range of features, each of which will doubtless be up to Sony Ericsson’s very high standard. It’s difficult to see what this phone offers over the old W800i though.

Full details and more pics of the Sony Ericsson W700 after the jump, and you can compare its features with its older brother with our Sony Ericsson W800i review.

Pictures of new Nokia 3250 WESC Limited Edition Music phone

Nokia have released a special edition of their new mobile music phone, the Nokia 3250. The new limited edition Nokia 3250 WESC offers all the features of the original 3250 (1GB storage, dedicated music buttons, 2 megapixel camera), but has been given a makeover by fashion company WESC (We Are the Superlative Conspiracy). Principally, this means a new world design painted on the back of the phone, but WESC have also pre-loaded the 3250 with a digital version of the WESC Travel Guide.

Nokia’s partnership with WESC will continue with other products in the future, and so they seem to be following the same path as Motorola, who are always keen to partner with other firms they see as being hip (Apple, Burton, Oakley, etc.). Only 500 of the new Nokia 3250 WESC mobile phones will be sold, though, so Nokia are clearly aiming for the exclusivity factor to give the new phone some added cool.

Pictures of Samsung’s new ‘iPod nano’ phone

Samsung have released the Samsung SPH-S4300 mobile phone. Taking its cue from the iPod Nano, the SPH-S4300 is an MP3 player first and foremost that just happens to have mobile phone functionality. Few details at this stage, other than it can play MP3, OGG and WMA files, comes with 1GB of memory and a USB port, and clearly looks far more like an MP3 player than a mobile phone.

Buzzing new Samsung E770 mobile phone

The new Samsung E770 mobile phone may look like an ordinary clamshell with a few music buttons on its front, but naturally it has a few other tricks up its sleeve.  In addition to the usual 1.3 megapixel camera, “massive” <cough!> 80 MB of internal memory, and support for MP3, AAC, AAC+ and eAAC+ music files, the Samsung E770 also comes equipped with “VibeTonz”.  This is a technology that apparently “enhances the quality of ring-tones, alerts and gaming through the provision of VibeTonz touch sensations. Intuitive vibrations work in harmony with the Samsung E770’s ringtones, alerts and games, providing a sensory experience that is more fun and engaging.”
 
So not only do you get to hear the Crazy Frog, you get to feel it as well.  Marvellous.  My life is now complete!

Japanese LISMO mobile music service blows Motorola out the water

 
You may have been impressed with Motorola’s ROKR E2 mobile music phone and iRadio music service when both were announced at CES 2006 earlier this month. But you wouldn’t have been if you live in Japan. This, you see, is the Japanese equivalent from Japanese phone operator AU. The service is called AU LISMO (“Listen Mobile Service”), and like iRadio and many similar offerings from network operators and mobile phone manufacturers alike, it lets you download music, either using PC software, or directly over the air.
 
The killer difference, though, lies with the features of the accompanying AU W41T mobile phone:
  • 4GB of memory
  • 3.23 megapixel camera
  • 2.4 inch QVGA screen
  • Bluetooth
  • FM radio
  • GPS
  • CDMA-EVDO
Now compare these specs with Motorola’s ROKR E2, and try to work out whether these new phones were announced two weeks apart or two years apart! If you want to see the future of mobile phones, just look to the Asian markets. Japanese and Korean phones truly rock!

New Pantech 1GB Mobile Phone – ultimate mobile jukebox

 
Korean mobile phone manfacturer Pantech have unveiled the Pantech IM-U110: a new mobile music phone that offers a whopping 1GB of flash memory. Rather than following the likes of Nokia and Samung, who are releasing multi-gigabyte mobile phones this year with hard disk drives built-in (Samsung are even planning to put a 10GB hard disk into its forthcoming SGH-I300 phone), Pantech have gone for the more robust flash memory option. Being Korean, of course, they weren’t satisified with the miserly 512MB of its rivals, such as Sony Ericsson’s Walkman phones. Instead, they felt 1GB would be a far better amount. And who can argue with that?
 
It also comes fully-loaded with a variety of other features as well, including a 2 megapixel camera. Better still, Pantech announced at CES that they intend to push further into US and European markets this year, so although at the moment this is destined only for Korea (courtesy of SK Telecom), it may be on its way to further shores later in the year.
 
Maybe that’s why the phone departs from its Korean predecessors, and looks so damned good? Western markets are notoriously fashion-led, as opposed to Asian markets, which tend to be more feature-led. On first impressions, the new Pantech IM-U110 seems to have both sorted.
