 Oh how we forget when phones didn't simply stay on forever, you could watch video, write email, and see pictures of the next celebrity downfall in real time. The first GSM mass produced phone came out 15 years ago on November10, 1992. I remember the days of the almost indestructable nokia phones, even though they didn't have any features they were great phones. This wasn't the first gsm phone, that was an unnamed nokia phone made for finlands radiolinja netowrk in 91.

As if DRM needed more of a hint to get its coat and leave, Amazon is set to announce a promotional giveaway of one billion MP3s during next year's Super Bowl. Billboard was first to note that this announcement signals an all-out offensive on DRM, which is made even more powerful by parallel pressures brought by Wal-Mart. In a bid for more of the digital download space, the brick-and-mortar retailer heavyweight has reportedly given an ultimatum to some of the largest record labels, including Warner Music Group and Sony BMG Music Entertainment, to provide more of their respective music catalogs in MP3 format (that is, without DRM) next year. |

 Sony CEO Howard Stringer gives some interesting comments about the ongoing format wars between sony blue ray and toshiba created HD-DVD. It says that the wars are at a stalemat right now. This comment is interesting seeing how many company have jumped ship from blue ray to HD-DVD and we now see HD-DVD players on sale at walmart for less then $100. Stringer has the heavy job of repositioning Sony back to the top of the pack. He also tryes to downplay the format war commenting “We were trying to win on the merits, which we were doing for a while, until Paramount changed sides, It doesn't mean as much as all that.” This doesn't sound like a war that is at a stalemate it sounds like someone is loosing support. Stringer states that he wishes he could go back in time to unite the 2 formats before going to launch. Well here is to wishing, Toshiba when to the DVD consortium and got approved as the HD, DVD successor and Sony formed the blue-ray consortium. Sounds like it didn't have much support from the start.
