Apple completely revolutionized the way we listened to music a few years back when they launched their first iPod. While there was already mp3 players around at the time they were quite uncommon, existing in an age of compact discs and minidisc players. The iPod brought internet music to the masses, and iTunes changed the way we purchased music forever – and was one of the first legal implementations of downloading music from the internet.

Some companies have always marketed some of their mobile phones as ‘music phones’, phones that are particularly catered to music lovers. Nokia and Sony Ericsson are two companies that always had a strong range of music phones on offer. But for Apple there was never any need, as the original iPhone, and all subsequent iPhones, evolved from the iPod Touch.

Between Netflix’s price hike, Blockbuster’s recovery from bankruptcy via Direct TV buyout, and Hulu’s bid to get bought, streaming TV isn’t looking so hot. In a market saturated by YouTube and bootleggers, how can a legal streaming company survive? These three companies are trying desperately to answer that question, and hopefully stay afloat as they learn.

Netflix was the premium go-to for legal streamers. Was being the key word. After a disastrous price hike, the loss of their contact with Starz, and the technical problems they had, Netflix is on a long walk off a short pier. Without the content to back it up or the money to buy more content, Netflix is the all-out loser.

We all know just how handy the wireless router has become around the home when it comes to sharing out the benefits of broadband, and it means that your high-speed internet connection can be used pretty much anywhere and by anyone who is at home. However, many of us now spend increasingly long hours away from home, which means that we’re not always going to be able to access that broadband supply. Worse still, without access to a wireless router it means that other members of your family, friends or even work colleagues are going to be in the same boat.

Now though, things are on the change because anyone who currently enjoys quick and easy cable free access to broadband at home can now do the same with mobile broadband. And, what is more, it’s now possible to have mobile broadband and also share that connection out with other people too.

If you’re a die-hard Nintendo fan you might want to curb your enthusiasm. Nintendo is still a generation behind Microsoft and Sony (and Valve) in the online space. The 3DS uses archaic friend codes, and there’s not even a simple messaging service on the system. That means you have to find people by name if you want to talk some trash. Additionally, Nintendo is unlikely to meet their 3rd quarter shipment numbers, and they’re already planning to add a hardware revision (including a second analog stick) to the system early next year.

Has it been a failed launch? It’s doing okay in Japan, but the numbers out of the states are bleak. This raises more questions: Is this a Nintendo problem or a harbinger of bigger troubles for the hand-held space, since most of us have Android or iPhones that offer 99 cent, bite-sized games? Can the $40 retail model exist in the same world as the app store, or will Apple crush Nintendo and Sony this hand-held generation? What will that mean for Sony’s business model (console-like games on a hand-held)? Will it push either company to go 3rd party? Sony has already started offering “Playstation Suite” games on Sony Ericsson phones…
