Vodafone meets Last.fm: Mobile the clear winner

Just announced: Vodafone and Last.fm today announced a partnerships that will see Vodafone customers to integrate with the social networking music site. This is a great.

So where do you get it?

The Last.fm application is first available to download from Last.fm at www.last.fm/vodafonescrobbler, to selected Nokia handsets including the N95, N96, N78 and 6210 (other handsets will be available too soon too).

This is a great move for Last.fm as I firmly believe that this will make the service not only more accessible but just as or if not more relevant that Apple’s Genius.  The key problem with Genius is the fact I can’t see, comment or interact in anyway with my friends and other people interested in the same music I am.

Personally: As my Last.fm profile becoming more and more complete, and as Sonixtrip prepare for our first EP release, and most importantly: as the mobile becomes the most personal and highly engaged device — this is the start of a very rich, always accessible and social interaction between web, mobile and the user.

Excited much?

Nokia e61i

I did it. I finally did it. I bought the Nokia e61i. So far loving it. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great PDA that doesn’t become a totally useless phone. The Nokia’s Symbian OS has a vast range of applications to meet the desires of anyone who feels they miss WM 5.0. So here are my first impressions. Click here to read more »
