Mobile Content: hip-hop

The entertainment industry's expectation from mobile content is huge and it is set to increase three folds in the next one year! Service providers are apprehensive of this unprecedented rise in mobile content demand as it will not just increase the revenue but would also pressurize the existing bandwidth leading to slow down of download speed. But the recent mobile phenomenon -3G and its subsequent upgradation like HSDPA- have made data transfer a matter of seconds, drawing more and more consumers into its realms.

Ringtones, games and music remains the three most popular downloads. However, other lifestyle and Entertainment contents like daily horoscope, entertainment and showbiz news, Tarot card reading, love and relationship are fast catching up with the new generation of mobile phone users. Mobile content download in the recent past was plagued with security concerns, such as personal details being misused, overpriced content and mobile frauds, deterring many from using the services. In comparison, more secured and easy interfaced mobile content download hot-spots of today are simple, safe and intuitive from initial browsing through to payment and download.

So, if you want to give your digital companion a make over – the time is NOW!

Sony PlayStation 3: Enter the Arena

High speed car chases, dangerous one man black ops, meticulously designed master-plans to rule the world – reasons for gamers could be varied, but all would confirm in unison the importance of getting the 'feel' of the game.Picking up the right equipment to start with is another tricky area. Among the current crop of seventh generation video gaming consoles, three major players sharing the lion's share are Sony's PlayStation 3, Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Nintendo's Wii.

Sony's PlayStation was one of the major contributor to the video gaming industry as a whole, taking the wild and wacky world of video gaming to everyone. Their latest offering – the Sony PlayStation 3 is one of the meanest machine with impressive graphics quality. The console's primary storage media is Blu-ray Disc, but is supports CDs, DVDs as well as SACDs. This makes the Sony PlayStation 3 one of the cheapest Blu-ray player in the market. High definition video output via HDMI 1.3 port enhances the overall experience of a game or a movie. The console's hard drive is 60GB – big enough to carry every game that catches your fancy. Another variable with 80GB hard drive is being released in South Korea, but the company has denied any plan of its launch in Europe.

Public enthusiasm for the Sony PlayStation 3 could be gauged by the campers outside stores to grab hold of one of these devices during its launch. There were reports of customers getting manhandled, robbed as well as shot in North America while they tried to lay their hands on it! Wireless game control, large and comprehensive online store and plenty of additional multimedia features makes the Sony PlayStation 3 the ultimate platform for both pro and amateur gamers. However, other two players in the market – Microsoft and Nintendo have their own consoles with their own sets of advantages as well as disadvantages. While the number of games available increases dramatically once one shifts to Xbox 360, Nintendo's Wii offers a new way of 3D wireless controlled gaming.

Competition brings out the best – as it happened with the seventh generation gaming consoles. However, with so many options in hand, one can not help but get confused while picking up one. But in any case, if high definition pictures and sounds for the ultimate 'feel' is your priority – Sony PlayStation 3 is the way to go!
