Mewbox – On the Go Music Downloads on Android

by Jay Garrett on December 4, 2009

mewboxMewbox – not a new dry cat food or a mash-up of Robbie Williams’ failed 2006 album and a Danish alternative rock band.

Mewbox is actually a new music download service that originally launched with the Archos 5 Android slate but has now gone live for all Android phones.

This means that whether you’re going to be rocking the new Milestone in a few days or have a loving relationship with the T-Mobile G1 – you’ll be able to download choonz to keep whilst you’re out-and-about for the very first time.

The Mewbox site looks pretty straightforward and not in the least confusing (more than I can say for the Myspace Music site).

There’s also a blog which reports news about the software as well as top track picks.

If you haven’t got an Android powered handheld it may be still worth your while to pootle across to Mewbox as it’s offering a free download (89MB) of some of its favourite songs to keep for anyone!

Now, if you’ve an iPhone you’ll think that this has always been the way as we’ve been able to download from iTunes from day 1. Even the Crackberry has been able to get music on the move thanks to 7digital.

Talking ’bout 7digital – this is who’s behind Mewbox. This should mean that Android users will have access to around 4 million tracks.

Mewbox is out now for any European Android owners, but it’s not on the Android Market – all you have to do is download from the Mewbox homepage here.

Archos Phone Tablet Coming to Taunt Apple

by Jay Garrett on September 15, 2009

Archos PhoneArchos are known for dropping PMP goodness in our hands and even though the new Archos 5 Internet Tablet has a microphone, it can only make VoIP calls over Wi-Fi.

But hang on – They’ve got a follow-up my gadgety faithful!

The Archos Phone Tablet that will be making calls over HSDPA.

Archos are still being a little tight-lipped about it but it has confirmed that the Archos Phone Tablet will be sporting a slimmer 4.3-inch touchscreen with a sharper 854×480 resolution, HSDPA, a 1GHz Arm processor all lovingly wrapped in a slim 10mm shell.

If you’ve handled a Tosh TG01 it’ll be a tad bigger than that and obviously run Android not Windows.

More as I get it :)
