Great! They found yet another whole new way of draining the phone's battery in no time...I have an LG Shine and the battery, with an occasional call, tons of text messages and a few ringtone-bluetooth-transfer,only last around 24 hours...compared with older less multimediey phones it doesn't last...I had a horrible and huge Nokia whose most advanced technology was text messaging and the battery used to last 2 weeks...

They seem to find new ways of improving the phones and letting the batteries keep the same...

In other news, not only can your cell phone have surround sound, now it can drive your car and cook dinner for you!

The only draw back is it lasts only 15 minutes before it needs recharging.

They add all these fancy features yet they cannot perfect the actual purpose of a cell phone, for calls.

I'd take a phone that doesnt cut out or drop calls with a great speakerphone and a clear headset in the phone over music, bluetooth, television and surround sound in a phone.

These companies are becoming really stupid.

Its like having at 1080P TV thats less than 40" big. You'll hardly see any different. I doubt this phone will sound any different than an MP3 player or even on speaker.

Actually a lot of cellphones that play music and or video do have two speakers. The article also states it's for headphones. I have a Samsung i730 that has a similar feature. It does work. It helps more while watching videos than music though. For the most part what it does. Is give you the (audio not visual) feeling of a larger listening area. It's similar to having a 2 channel television with a virtual surround setting on.

Good question, especially when that one speaker is pressed directly onto one of your ears. On a sidenote, I'm shocked that you didn't go on a tirade about Sony DRM and MPAA lobbying.

Care to explain the bait you've laid out? We try to avoid flamewars not promote them.
