Nokia N95 compares well with iPhone

Apple’s iPhone-idea takes market by storm

Nokia N95 compares well with iPhone

Apple goes with its strength: packing its success functions of iTunes, iPod MP3 payer and widgets into the iPhone. Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs drove the market, including investors, to frenzy with his MacWorld iPhone announcement. The actual data that is available right now, however, does not speak of real break through.

Nokia N95 compares quite well iPhone, as does HTC’s Windows Mobile 5 phone.

IPhone is still six month away, at least, and we have only the data that Apple has put out with a warning that technical qualities might change before the device hits the market.

Much of the promise and frenzy has to do with user interface and it is based on a multitouch screen. Apple is known for its interface design but we judge the end result only with final product. As always with interfaces, the proof of the pudding in eating.

Soft keyboard might or might not work well for mobile phone functions; at least it will take quite a bit to get used to for those of us that have used hard keys for years.

Nokia N95 will be available by the end of March and it specs have been published. HTC P3300 is already available.

The table below compares the technical data available of the three devices. The data we have of iPhone is actually quite sketchy. The main differences are in the operating systems, the screens/interfaces, network support and built in GPS-chips.

With N95, which is built on the same platform as N93, we have a fairly good of the screen and interface functions. With iPhone we have trust Jobs and flash-presentations. HTC P3300 is available and anyone can test it.

The big difference might be the fact than N95 is the only 3G-HSDPA device of the three. It has been said that it a 3G phgone is ten times more demanding to design and build than a GSM phone. It that is true, Apple and HTC have their work cut out for them.

Call for Proposals: 4th International Mobile Music Workshop

January 14th, 2007 by alex

MOBILE MUSIC TECHNOLOGY
FOURTH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP
AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS, 6-8 MAY 2007
http://www.mobilemusicworkshop.org

Submission deadline: 12th March 2007

Combining music and mobile technology promises exciting future developments
in a rapidly emerging field. Devices such as mobile phones, Walkmans and
iPods have already brought music to the ever-changing social and geographic
locations of their users and reshaped their experience of the urban
landscape. With new properties such as ad hoc networking, Internet
connection, and context-awareness, mobile music technology offers countless
new artistic, commercial and socio-cultural opportunities for music
creation, listening and sharing. How can we push forward the already
successful combination of music and mobile technology? What new forms of
interaction with music lie ahead, as locative media and music use merge into
new forms of everyday experiences?

This series of annual workshops began to explore and establish the emerging
field of mobile music technology in 2004. This fourth edition of the Mobile
Music Workshop in 2007 offers a unique opportunity to participate in the
development of mobile music and hands-on experience of cutting-edge
technology.

This year’s workshop is hosted by STEIM and Waag Society in Amsterdam, The
Netherlands, and partners with the Futuresonic Festival in Manchester,
England, taking place later the same week. The programme of the workshop
will consist of keynote presentations from invited speakers, peer-reviewed
paper presentations, poster sessions, in-depth discussions about the crucial
issues of mobile music technology, demos of state-of-the-art projects,
break-out sessions and live events. Registered participants will take part
in hands-on sessions conducted by leaders in the field. In addition to
traditional presentation sessions, the programme includes events open to a
general audience, facilitating the presentation of artworks and
technological breakthroughs to a wider public.

The Mobile Music Workshop sets the stage for a collaboration that brings
together leading institutions in both experimental electronic music and
mobile media. STEIM (the studio for electro-instrumental music) is a centre
for electronic music production well known in the performing arts. STEIM
promotes the idea that Touch is crucial in communicating with electronic and
digital arts technologies, a vision that over the years has given birth to
physical, sensor-based musical instruments. Waag Society is a research and
development institute in the fields of networked art, education and creative
industries. Waag develops platforms for artists to reach society through
networked collaboration, media streaming, and locative media.

CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS AND WORKS

We invite practitioners, artists, designers, hackers and researchers from
all areas, including music, technology development, new media, sound-art,
music distribution, cultural/media studies, locative media and industry to
submit work and register to attend.
Don’t miss this chance to help shape the mobile music landscape of the
future!
Participants are encouraged to submit their work in mobile music technology
to the categories below. The partnership with the Futuresonic Festival
(http://www.futuresonic.com/) allows those coming to Europe to make a single
trip to attend both events.

* Papers

We invite submissions of workshop papers presenting new projects, approaches
or reflections exploring the topic of mobile music. Potential submissions
could include but are not limited to mobile music systems or enabling
technologies, interface design, legal issues, user studies, ethnographic
fieldwork, social implications, art pieces and other areas relevant to
mobile music.
Accepted paper authors will be given a time slot during the workshop for
presentation and discussion of their work.
Format: up to 8 pages in ACM SIG publications format (shorter papers
welcome). For templates, see
http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html

* Posters

We also invite the contribution of posters that document work-in-progress
projects or ideas in similar areas of mobile music technology as the papers.
Posters will be on display during the duration of the conference. We will
arrange a poster presentation session where attendees will be able to
discuss the works with the authors.
Format: 2 pages in ACM SIG publications format

* Demonstrations

We also invite submissions of work to the demo category. Besides encouraging
paper and poster presenters to bring a demonstration as a complement their
presentation, we encourage submissions of stand-alone demos of mobile music
systems or enabling technology. Their implementation should be ready enough
to be demoed, and will possibly be shown to the general public during open
sessions depending on their robustness.
Format: 2 pages in ACM SIG publications format.

SUBMISSIONS

Please email your submission as a PDF file in the appropriate format to
submissions -at- mobilemusicworkshop.org
In the subject line, state MMW SUBMISSION followed by PAPER, POSTER or DEMO
and the name of the main author.
Submissions will be peer-reviewed by a committee of international
specialists in the fields of mobile music, interactive music, and locative
media.

DEADLINES

Submission deadline: 12th March 2007
Notification of acceptance: 2nd April 2007
Registration deadline: 16th April 2007
