FACT: Third level multimedia students starting their award or degree years prefer to manage their music and take their pictures with their phones. In Tipperary Institute, the SonyEricsson Walkman phone rules the roost. Its megapixel images of Ireland are sprinkled throughout Flickr with shots taken during both day and night. As a music player, it's sweet and simple. It can be cabled over to the campus network where owners drag and drop tracks directly onto the phone. The college even gives away free power to recharge phone batteries, which guarantees a full day's listening when on campus.
Victor Keegan writes, "The decline of iPod sales continued in the second quarter, while sales of music-enabled mobile phones soared. Nokia alone, a late entrant to music, plans to ship 80m music phones this year (almost double last year's iPod sales). Sony Ericsson is enjoying success with its popular Walkman phone, as is Motorola with its Razr, while LG's Chocolate was Carphone Warehouse's biggest ever seller."
