Japanese Mobile Phone Music - IN STEREO

I envy them so much! Howcome Japanese have all the cool mobile stuff? Now they have plans of upgrading the sound quality in mobile phones into stereo. Think about the possibilities of surround effect. We already have 3D graphics, now graphics can be complemented with 3D sound. High quality streaming music is just a button away from you. No way to save it, just pay and listen away DRM-dream come true!

In Finland, TeliaSonera in cooperation with Sony has launced this mobile music streaming service, called StreamMan. Superb service, the only problem is that the mobile phone sound system is so low-fi. Hmm, it does have another negative feature - it is insanely expensive to use with Finnish mobile data prices.

That little techie in me wants to live in Japan.
