For multimedia enthusiasts, getting the right mobile device to cater to their needs is a daunting task. This is because one will have to choose from the wide range of smartphones that are sold on the market today. These phones come with some high-tech features, which would make any technologically savvy individual very happy. What is more, these devices are competitively priced so that there is a device for every budget. This affordability is a break away from the past when technology was quite expensive and thus such state-of-the-art devices were only the preserve of the affluent.
One feature that is particularly interesting in multimedia mobile devices is their compatibility with media formats. While some mobile devices will only support specialized media formats such as BlackBerry Videos, others will support a whole range of media formats, both generic and vendor-specific. Some generic media formats include MP3, 3GP, MP4, and WMV, which are normally supported by most mobile devices. These file formats allow for files to be downloaded on to the mobile device for listening, sharing or other uses, such as ringtones.
In order to extend the enjoyment of using such media files, some mobile devices are designed with high-tech features to cater for this. An example is having devices such as tablets, which have a large screen, suitable for viewing mobile videos. In order to increase the area of the screen, some mobile devices do not come with the standard numerical keypad or the extended QWERTY keypad. They instead utilize touch screen technology, whereby the keypad appears on the touch sensitive screen. Touch screen phones are the very latest invention and are only found in the most modern of cell phones.
Other important features of cell phones and devices that may be of interest to multimedia lovers include compatibility with external devices such as Bluetooth headsets, portable speakers and the ability to synchronize files to and from a computer. These extended functions are very important in the transfer and storage of media files, as well as enjoyment. Apart from this, there is the other issue of having extended battery life for the mobile device. To maximize on this, one may opt for devices with proven extended battery life, while at the same time taking measures to ensure that the battery life is maximized. For example, one could get a docking station or travel charger to use while on the move.
