    i dont get this, who the hell wants to stream music to their phone anyway? I cant think of a time ive been walking around the mall or something with my cell saying "hmmm I wish I could hold this up to my ear like i was talking but have there be music instead" the speakers on them are so ****ty anyway, even the "good" ones arent high quality enough for music, what a crock.

    Now that there's content to drive it, newer phones will have high quality audio or at least audio chips that can drive good headphones.

    i have real player 8 installed and it sits happily in the background doing nothing... works a treat when i want to listen to online radio... personally i don't mind it. Real one is a bit shocking.
