Just grapling with some news that came up some days ago. It is the release of Motorolas new music phone.(literally a device that doubles as both a phone and a music player). It is the MOTOROKR EM35 .Here is a brief overview of what is available.
- When listening with earphones, a unique algorithm enables music to sound as if it is playing in the space around your head, rather than inside of your eardrums, enhancing the way you listen to music
- The new technology not only amplifies conversations, but also helps reduce background noise with CrystalTalk technology, a bonus when it comes to listening to favorite tracks or making calls in noisy public environment. The EM35 further enhances the audio quality with a second microphone that eliminates more ambient background noise from the call.
- ROKR EM35 is a music player with a full suite of dedicated keys to launch and control music. User can listen via the built-in dual speakers, stereo Bluetooth wireless technology or 3.5mm stereo wired headphones.
- EM35’s robust MOTOMUSIC player, complete with keys to launch and control music on the go. It’s easy to navigate through your entire music library by using the handset’s FastScroll navigation wheel, which lets you select songs, albums and artists, as well as shuffle selections
- Windows Media Player 11 gives users the ability to manage ymusic on a PC and discover new music from more than 200 on-line music stores worldwide. The ROKR EM35 has an integrated FM antenna that allows FM radio to be played over stereo Bluetooth or external stereo speakers without the use of a headset, and built-in FM radio with SONGID technology.
What caught my eye is the fact that this device has virtual surround sound enabled. It means that it is an audio system which attempts to create the perception that there are many more sources of sound than are actually present. In order to achieve this it is necessary to devise some means of tricking the human auditory system into thinking that a sound is coming from somewhere that it is not. This is very novel, and I feel is going to be a important step in the right direction. Lot of consumers has taken up the oppertunity to use virtual suuround sound because they can enjoy the experience of surround sound without the large number of speakers that are traditionally required to do so.
The EM35 is user can listen to music via the built-in dual speakers, stereo Bluetooth wireless technology or 3.5mm stereo wired headphones.
