| Why?
Why are people bothering with music on mobiles now? I really don't see the point when a phone is supposed to be a PHONE, not an all-in-one media device. I have custom ringtunes on my phone but that's just about it....and it's not any of the nonsense the Verizon/Sprint stores are offering..
I'll leave CD/MP3/other audio players and computers to play my music, TYVM. |

| The question is why not?
My cell phone is already an MP3 player, internet browser, video game system and phone all in one. It's only going to get smaller and better as technology advances.
Why carry a laptop computer, PSP, Ipod and cell phone if you can get it all in one?
edit: I forgot TV.  |

The thing is, as you get start getting into your 40's and beyond, you'll find you simply can't SEE all the data on those little screens and buttons for all those wonderful options anymore. So their existence becomes meaningless.

Yeah my car has a few hundred mp3s on CD - Then again going out and buying a nice headunit IS BETTER than a phone that will only last you 4 years tops...haha.
