Dolby Labs Release Dolby Mobile

Today in Barcelona at the 2008 Mobile World Congress, Dolby Laboratories released Dolby Mobile, that promised to bring rich, vibrant surround sound to mobile phones and portable media players. At the same time Dolby also showed aacPlus, a high-quality, highly efficient audio compression format designed for download, streaming, and broadcast applications on mobile phones.

“Entertainment can sound better on mobile phones and portable media players,” said Francois Modarresse, Vice President of Marketing, Dolby Laboratories. “We developed Dolby Mobile to help create products that stir the senses and excite people’s imaginations so the industry can deliver on the promise of mobile entertainment.”

I would love to hear this technology. One area that has always surprised me with mobile phones with mp3 players is how bad the speakers are. My Nokia N95 is the first phone I’ve owned that has decent speakers, but even still the playback quality is no better than a cheap mp3 player, even through a good set of headphones. Hopefully, Dolby Mobile could improve the next generation of mobile phones.

Although, I hope Dolby Mobile doesn’t increase the strain on mobile batteries!
