...Indeed, there's ample evidence that music could become a lucrative new market for companies like KDDI. Sales of ring tones reached $4.1 billion worldwide last year, according to Strategy Analytics, proving that consumers are predisposed to wireless downloading, even if the product is little more than synthetic song snippets. Technical barriers are disappearing, too: as more carriers upgrade to 3G systems, sluggish data-transfer rates are becoming a thing of the past (songs can be transferred in as few as 30 seconds via 3G networks). The capacity of phones to store music remains a problem, but that's being...
...seemingly competent cast should offer. Julianne Moore’s Telly Paretta is a likeable everywoman. Her therapist (Gary Sinise), is appropriately authoritarian, while her husband (ER’s Anthony Edwards) appears to be phoning in his support from another planet. They are too hampered by the product they’ve been asked to deliver to hope to redeem...

At $399, the Gmini400 can also carry 300 hours of music. "It's a sleek, trendy product with a very attractive price point," says Vamsi Sistla, an analyst at ABI Research. "But we think the market will trend towards nonentertainment uses, [adding] applications like videoconferencing." So bosses could track workers on their portable players? Perhaps the iPod is just fine as is. --By Sean Gregory
