In South Korea, Samsung will be partnering with Jays headphones to bring a better audio experience to the company’s smartphones.

It’s [...]
Announced back in 2010, Lumigon has yet to release its high-end, audio-centric T1 Android smartphone. The company’s ware has been dubbed vapor status and now it is looking to change that by releasing an updated render of the Lumigon T1 smartphone, which will run on Google’s Android OS. The device, which was designed in collaboration [...]
Audio seems to be the next big thing to differentiate smartphones and tablets. Manufacturers have partnered with SRS Audio, Dolby Labs, Monster (via Nokia accessories), and even Beats Audio (through HTC smartphones) to deliver better tunes ‘just as the artist intended’ on mobile devices.

Ahead of HTC’s planned announcement today, this Thursday, in Los Angeles, California, it looks like partner Beats by Dr. Dre has went ahead and made the announcement.

According to a Twitter message, Apple may have hired Tomlinson Holman, a University of Southern California audio professor and the brains behind sound-house THX.

While Dennis and Hugo are out shopping for new belts, Rob Bushway, who has been absent from our GBM Podcasts for far too long, joins Warner Crocker for GBM Podcast #22, and we have a blast talking about a ton of topics in the Tablescape. (Note, neither Rob nor Warner was wearing a belt of any [...]
I’m not sure when Dennis Rice coined the phrase, Flight Through Coolness, if he was thinking about all the cool stuff we talked about in this week’s GBM Podcast, or if he was just talking about his very cool reaction to some of the news and gadgets we talked about. Maybe he was just entranced [...]

Yep, we spend a lot of time talking about Battery life and how to best optimize its effectiveness; and we [...]

We live on the bleeding edge of technology here at GottaBeMobile.com and sometimes we trip and fall over that edge and land on our faces. That’s what happened with getting this podcast recorded, edited, and mixed, which is why it is a few days delayed getting into your hands. (The stories will make for a couple [...]
Well, the Three GBM Podcasting Tableteers are not together on this show, but you still have the Dynamic Tablet Duo!

Yeah, yeah, I know, it’s not really show #1, but it feels that way since we have made a new committment! This is actually #14 for our team. We have done a few sporadic Podcasts in the past, but now we really mean it. Dennis Rice and Warner (what is that guy’s last name? Oh [...]

Dennis Rice and I get together once again for another Audio InkShow (and this time he wasn’t wearing that Bill Clinton costume) and talk about what’s happening in the Tabletscape and what’s going on in the GottaBeMobile.com forums. We also wax rhapsodic about Vista and some things to look forward [...]
It is Audio Inkshow time again. Dennis Rice and I get together virtually, (which is a good thing given how steamed Dennis is about Josh Einsten’s pointing out his uncanny resemblance to a former US president,) and talk Tablet PCs and what’s going on in the GottaBeMobile.com forums. We’re trying out a new format and a [...]
I think this is a first. All four GBM Team members get together on this special Audio InkShow to discuss the Lenovo X60s Tablet PC, the forum launch, contests, and how quickly we think WNewquay will hit 5,000 posts. Talk about having some fun! So, come on in and relax, and celebrate this forum launch [...]
