I heard the NPR 'All Things Considered' interview with an associate editor of Wired mag. The interviewer says Q1: "Let's cut to the chase, what is the coolest thing you saw at the show?" Ans: The Ericsson phone that allows you to download music to a MP3 player then use the phone for playback! Should be out in the summer. Not sure this will translate into blockbuster sales, but the publicity is great. He also commented that the football shaped phone was a bust. Jim

About the MP3 player and other phone products. The MP3 mobile phone is actually an attachment to existing phones, it plugs into the bottom of the mobile phone. Ericsson showed this back in October along with a similar looking FM radio plug-in and the Chatboard plug-in. The radio and MP3 player plug-ins means listening to music, but when the phone rings it will automatically cut to the phone call. Currently the above are only as plug-ins, so although the basic phones are okay there is a vast range of accessories being introduced. The MP3 plug-in can be viewed here (note that the FM plug in looks virtually identical as does the Bluetooth attachment!): ericsson.com And the Chatboard is here: ericsson.com All these and more products can be viewed here: ericsson.com May I also suggest doing a search on the Ericsson site concerning Infowear, which one of them can be viewed here: ericsson.com All the best, M
