AT&T announces two new music applications, expands Napster mobile coverage
Section: Communications, Cellphones, Cellular Providers, Mobile, Web, Online Music/Video
AT&T has announced two new music applications; mSpot’s Make-Ur-Tones and mSpot Remix. Likewise, AT&T also announced its plan of expanding the Napster Mobile service it gives under the AT&T network. All three music applications provide mobile music lovers the freedom to choose the music they want to listen to and use in their AT&T mobile phones.
Available for a monthly subscription of $6.99 for three ringtones, the mSpot Make-UR-Tones allows customers to search for music tracks from the AT&T Media Mall, cut a 30-second part of the song using the a built-in editor, preview the output and then download the personalized ringtone to their phone. Unfortunately, mSpot Make-UR-Tones will only work with the Samsung SYNC, Samsung A737, Samsung A747 and the Motorola V3xx.
AT&T also announced the mSpot Remix, an application that allows users to access music from their PC and listen to the song from their mobile phone while it downloads the song in the background. After listening to a song or after downloading the song (whichever comes first), users can now save it into their phone’s memory storage.
In addition to these two music applications, AT&T has also announced plans to expand the reach of the Napster Mobile service to around 12 million users starting this summer. Likewise, AT&T has included an added value to customers’ purchases by allowing them to receive a copy of the songs they downloaded from Napster, aside from the copies they uploaded into their mobile phone.
With these new music applications, AT&T has positioned itself as having the most number of choices for mobile music than any other U.S. carriers. Aside from Napster mobile, AT&T also delivers DRM-free music from eMusic, the online music store that would not accept a report saying that Amazon is now the number 2 online music store.

tonal plexus synthesizers get up to 1688 keys
If you thought that the 312-key Chromatone synthesizer had a few more keys than your everyday piano, just wait ’til you get a load of the Tonal Plexus and its even more plentiful keyboard design.
The Tonal Plexus series of keyboards is a micro-tonal input device featuring rows and rows of buttons which generate tones with far more precision than an 88-key piano can handle.
Created by H-Pi Intstruments, the Tonal Plexus comes in variants from a compact 2-octave, 422 key controller, all the way up to a gigantic 8-octave keyboard with a whopping 1688 keys.
The keyboard layout is based on a traditional piano keyboard pattern of 7 white and 5 black keys, but each key gets a bunch of additional variants, including 7 naturals, 7 sharps, 7 flats, 7 double-sharps, 7 double flats, 6 triple-sharps and 6 triple-flats.
In case you’re keeping count, that’s 211 unique keys per octave. For some reason, I don’t think that you’ll ever run out of notes on this keyboard.
Prices range from about $1300 to $3800, depending on the number of keys and whether or not you choose to include the optional synthesizer/amplifier module, or you just need a MIDI controller. You can check out the complete catalog here.

Twinhead intro’s the 8-inch display ultra-portable C8
Section: Computers, Mobile Computers, Laptops
The ultra-portable market has been very popular lately, with most newly released models offering at least some comparison to the Eee PC and some even with the Everex Cloudbook.
The Twinhead C8 features a pearl white outer shell and features and 8-inch display with a nice 1024 x 600 resolution, which can make a big difference when compared to a 7-inch display with an 800 x 480 resolution. Aside from the display the C8 is powered by an AMD LC-800 processor with 1GB of RAM and features a 1.8-inch 20GB hard drive, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, Ethernet, two USB ports, one VGA out and a 4-in1 card reader.
Sadly, similar to many of these other ultra-portables we have been seeing lately, the C8 will not be available in the US. Instead it is currently available in Malaysia where it retails for RM$1799 (around $560 US) and is expected to be selling in Singapore shortly where it will retail for S$699 (around $507 US). Twinhead is also know as GammaTech here in the US, so its possible that we may see a similar variant, most likely under a slightly different name hit the US at some point.

Asus Eee PC 900: Touch Screen Out, Muilti-touch TrackPad In
When news of the new generation of Asus Eee PC broke out, we thought it would have touch screen. For those wishing for one, it looks like it won't be happening. Don't despair though, because it appears that instead of a touch screen, the Asus Eee PC 900 is getting a multi-touch trackpad. Yep, the one that's on MacBook Air. You can then fancy yourself using the wafer-thin spawn of Cupertino while actually on an Eee PC. The price of the Asus Eee PC 900 varies depending upon the location, with a May or June release date.
