Currently enjoying a nice big synergistic hug and dreaming of a fast-filling cash trough are Nokia and Sony BMG, who have back-slapped themselves silly after striking a deal over the “Comes With Music” service.
The deal will give punters with brand spanking new compatible phones a year’s worth of free access to the Sony BMG music catalogue, with pop-pickers (© Alan ‘Fluff’ Freeman) able to download tracks to both their mobile device and computer via the Nokia Music Store.

Nokia knock out two new phones. We try to get excited.
Nokia 5320
The Nokia 5320 comes in a classic candy-bar form factor and serves up the rather gimmicky Say and Play feature. This lets punters bellow a song or name of an artist into their phone, and the software will dutifully serve it up.
There’s certainly no shortage of more useful features on board though, with the 3G phone offering a ‘full Internet browser for Web 2.0 access,’ dedicated XpressMusic keys, an audio chip for advanced sound quality, a handy 3.5mm audio jack, a 2.0 Megapixel camera with flash, HS-USB and microSD card support for up to 8GB.

Taiwanese technology types E-TEN have whipped away the white sheet covering their new Windows Mobile powered Glofiish M750 and M810 smartphones and are waiting for the gasps of “must have” admiration from the market.
The two phones are near-identical, although the Glofiish M750 smartphone loses the 3G UMTS/HSDPA support of its bigger bro,’ offering GPRS/EDGE data connectivity instead.
It appears that the success of mobile data has flourished since both the price of modem devices and the costs of using it have plummeted – quelle suprise.
3G network provider, Three, is reporting that there’s a seven fold increase in the amount of data that is being passed through their network since the introduction of the Skypephone.
We’re all keen on doing our part on not destroying the planet these days – and quite rightly too.
For quite a while, we’ve known that much electrical equipment uses a lot of electricity in standby mode – sometimes, with things such as PVRs, actually more power!
A company calling itself Bye Bye Standby released its new Energy Saving Kit back in September 2007 in the UK.
Today they’ve made it be know that the US equivalent product is now increasingly available.
