One intriguing prediction made by several pundits for 2009 is that the worldwide distribution for phones running Google’s Android mobile operating system could actually surpass that of iPhone. That hypothesis may be getting a considerable boost, as a handset is reportedly in the works to be launched on China Mobile.

Called the “OPhone,” the handset is being manufacturer by Lenovo Mobile, and is expected to launch “in the first quarter” according to Reuters. With more than 300 million subscribers, China Mobile is the world’s largest carrier, and in turn, becomes the biggest potential market for applications developed for Android.

Meanwhile, Apple was reportedly in talks with China Mobile late last year regarding iPhone distribution in the country, but no deal has been reached as of yet. Being first to China and its enormous mobile population is clearly a huge opportunity for everyone involved, from the carriers, to the manufacturers, to the developers that build applications for mobile.

Google is yet to launch paid apps for its mobile platform, though that too is reportedly coming very soon. Combined with access to the Chinese market, it might just make the Android optimists’ projections come to pass.

Pretty easy right? Next, go to the Wikipedia and look at the a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emo_artistsList of Emo Artists/a - they have a list of 75 or so bands that have been referred to as, or had their music described as emo. Again, that seems to be pretty straightforward. But emo is not so simple. Just take a look at the a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_emo_artistsWiki discussion page for the list of emo artists/a - youll find a debate as vigorous and vitriolic as the great emacs vs. vi debate of the 80s, the paper vs. plastic debate of the 90s and the Gervais vs. Carell debate of 00s all put together. p Some excerpts: ul li Emo is chaotic music. Emo is a form of hardcore punk. Emo is closely related to screamo. Pop rock is not. Who started this whole emo thing? Rites of Spring. Neon White, go listen to Rites of Spring. Tell me the difference between them and Panic! At the Disco. They just dont sound anything alike. I like all music, and pop rock, but I have enough sense to know that their is a huge line between emo, and mainstream music. Therefore, Wikipedia itself, is unreliable lihm.... im a bit puzzled here... the article is named list of emo band, yet theres not a single emo band in the entire list.... liMy Chemical Romance is not emo. Alexisonfire is not emo, Fall Out Boy? just posers. Real emo music is emocore emo violence, screamo, emopunk, indie/emorock liall Out Boy May not be emo but they are not possers liTHREE DAYS GRACE not!!!! emo!!! they are POST GRUNGE!!!! li MCR IS NOT EMO /ul p And the discussion just goes on and on.

La MMA Global annonce aujourd'hui la nomination de Mike Wehrs, qui dirigera désormais l'association au niveau mondial. L'occasion de lui poser quelques questions, en exclusivité pour servicesmobiles.fr...Bonjour Mike, quels sont les objectifs de la MMA Global pour cette année 2009 ?Nous allons continuer notre mission auprès des professionnels du marketing : montrer les bénéfices du marketing mobile; échanger sur les meilleures pratiques et répondre aux besoins de standardisation. Nous allons aussi étendre la présence de la MMA dans de nouveaux pays. Nous ouvrons prochainement le bureau en Espagne. Enfin, nous allons travailler activement auprès de nos 700 membres, afin de leur fournir un support plus efficace et une visibilité accrue, notamment dans les différentes conférences et évènements.Rencontrez-vous encore des réticences de la part des annonceurs vis-à-vis du marketing mobile ?De moins en moins. Mais il subsiste des obstacles sur lesquels nous travaillons : le sentiment qu'un dispositif mobile demande encore trop d'efforts, que l'écosystème reste complexe et que les indicateurs de performance d'une campagne ne sont pas clairement définis et partagés par l’industrie.Etes-vous pessimiste concernant les difficultés financières de 2009 et leur impact sur le développement du marketing mobile ?Je pense au contraire que le marketing mobile va bien se...

In addition to the trailer and feature on BDTV, beyond the break you'll find the first ever images from Sony Home Entertainment's Vacancy 2: The First Cut, which arrives at retailers on January 20th. Experience the gruesome beginnings of Mr. Smith and his homicidal obsession in this prequel to the horrifying Screen Gems film, Vacancy. When three young travelers check into a roadside motel, they soon realize that they are the prey of a psychopathic killer and his two greedy accomplices who torture and murder their guests on film for profit.

As we've seen, a little Atari 2600 is a sure way to liven almost anything -- cakes, candles, landfills -- and it looks like the Xbox 360 is no exception, as none other than Ben Heck has proved with his new so-called 3600 controller. As you might expect, Ben didn't exactly take the expected route to wind up at this creation, instead opting to use the guts of a Guitar Hero 3 controller, which he somehow managed to squeeze into the base of everyone's favorite one-button controller (even leaving room for a guide button and ring of light on the underside). Be sure to hit up the link below for a must-see video of the controller in action and, of course, plenty more pics.
