Skullcandy had one of the most impressive stands at the Gadget Show Live 2009 – tall, lots of colour, lots of product, and a DJ! Oh yes, he was mixing up a storm, and doing it on mostly Vinyl! Old Skool
Anyhoo, on to the vast range of headphones that Skullcandy had on show – to be honest, the choice seemed limitless. From a Mobile perspective, I was keen to find out what they had for the iPhone 3G – my current device of choice. However, I think I would have been equally well catered for if I had any other device with a 3.5mm jack on it….
The headphones I was recommended were the all-aluminium Full Metal Jacket for iPhone – the “for iPhone” bit being that there is a mic in-line in the headphones.
For a “five-minute fiddle review” of the FMJ iPhone headphones, you’ll have to see my next post!
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.
