You might have read Will’s article yesterday about SRS-WOW, the company that’s been in the Mobile game (amongst others) for some time now. Well they had better be prepared for the Juggernaut of Digital Audio Processing, Dolby, to enter the fray.
It’s been reported that at 3GSM (Mobile World Congress), Dolby is due to announce partnership with a handset vendor, something which should mean substantially better audio on those devices.
We can only guess as to who the lucky manufacturer might be, but any of the top 5 would be a reasonable guess…… so who would you bet on?
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.

I’d say maybe Sony Ericsson, after all Sony has a leg in movie production, and they’re probably more experienced working with them.
