- Goldfrapp
On their latest CD, Supernature, Goldfrapp has put together a successful mix of 1980-era New Romanticism, German cabaret, and T. Rex glam that leaves you riveted even through the album's lulls. It's a great amalgam that sounds current without sounding at all dated.
- Billy Miles
- Take the voice of a young Billie Holiday and stuff it into a svelte, petite body with the face of an angel, and you have some idea of what it's like to experience the music of Billy Miles in her self-

- Man, there's nothing like good, old fashioned, rock and roll... add a bit of industry resentment to that with a double-shot of cynicism, and you get one of the best "new" rock bands going. This album

iPhone Pitted Against Nokia N95, Nod Goes to iPhone

An Apple iPhone was pitted against a Nokia N95 in a mobile phone smackdown. The N95 was found to have many desirable features, but it’s just too expensive, according to CNN Money on Friday.
The Nokia N95 appeared at first to be a bit chunkier, but, in fact, was really lighter and seemed more rugged. The N95 has a GPS system and it runs on the faster 3G network. However, where the N95 really shined is in its application support and being an unlocked phone out of the box.
"As it’s an unlocked phone, you can pretty much do whatever you want with it. Don’t feel like using Nokia’s own turn-by-turn direction service? No problem - you can download the one made by competitor Garmin (Charts). The same goes for any widget, e-mail programs or mobile Web sites," Michal Lev-Ram reported.
The iPhone, however, has a better user interface which won hands down and has a larger screen, 3.5 inches compares to the N95’s 2.6 inches.
The phones tied on call quality, Wi-Fi, and both were deemed weak on texting. The bottom line, however, was that the freedom of the N95 at US$700 may not be worth the extra $300 compared to the iPhone. Were the prices the same, the N95 could give the iPhone "a run for its money," the author concluded.
iPO notes that battery life was not mentioned in the smackdown. However, it has been discussed previously here, and the iPhone fared very well.
