Apple's iPhone 4S Rings In The Year Of The Dragon

Apple announced that iPhone 4S will be available in China on Friday, January 13. Available through China's top two mobile carriers China Mobile and China Unicom, the latter will be offering exclusively for free with a multi-year service contract costing as little as 286 yuan ($45) a month. Adding to the strain on China Unicom's data network, which is reportedly already struggling to meet demand, the phones will include bandwidth-hog Siri, an intelligent assistant that helps you get things done just by asking. The announcement follows the successful release of MEIZU's latest MX smartphone which attracted large lines at its stores across China on Janury 1st. To avoid the chaotic scene of the MEIZU M9 launch last year, only customers who had successfully pre-ordered an MX were contacted to go to their local store and pick the unit up. Despite this, long lines with hundreds of customers were formed outside each store. In Hong Kong, the queue had more than a thousand people at its peak. But can MEIZU keep the allure of its phone in the face of Apple and its AI Siri? Apple’s CEO Tim Cook was not kidding when he said "Customer response to our products in China has been off the charts." China is now Apple's second largest market after the US, while it sales volume overtook Lenovo, the world’s third-biggest PC maker. Source:MusicDish*China

"I developed songvoo originally to fill a need for my own enormous and constantly growing music collection." said Jokton Strealy, resident DJ of E2D. "The included iPod app was not enough for my needs because the text seemed too small, and song names and artists appeared got cut off for lack of space because the album cover art is so big. I also felt that the interface needed to be more fun and look stylish. Apple opening up version 3.0 of the iPhone OS allows so much more freedom. Although created for music professionals, songvoo allows for extensive user customization which will appeal to a wider audience."

Perfect for jogging, driving, and many other active diversions, the large, easy-to-read display shows at-a-glance exactly what song is playing and who the artist is. songvoo will look great in a car-mount or speaker dock. It even responds to all external remote controls like next song, previous song, pause, and play, including control from Apple's earbud remote.

songvoo features intuitive, yet incredibly useful controls and work great no matter what the users orientation is to the screen, such as when the device is in an armband, or even when driving. Just tap once to play or pause, double-tap the screen to go to the next track, or go to the previous track with a triple-tap. songvoo also shows elapsed and remaining time for the currently playing track, along with a slider that can be used to skip sections or replay a certain part.

Users can choose a new playlist (or songs) from their iPod library at any time, as well as choose music in the iPod app if they prefer, and bounce back and forth between apps with no problem. Additionally, it is possible to personalize songvoo in the settings application. Change font, colors, background image, or enable the shake to randomize feature and set these automatically.
