    There's no such thing as impotent publicity.

    "...we shall decline to explain what Sonic Emotion do, or sell..."

    Thus causing even more people to hit their website out of morbid curteosity... :)

    Wait,

    So, there's no Windows Mobile on the iPhone? Whew thats a relief!!!

    So the vid wins the award for the most abstract piece of viral advertising EVER, that is unless Sonic Emotion are about to release such an iPhone bootcamp . . .

    *urgh* I feel dirty.

    Sonic Emotion

    Are they related in any way to the company, Sonic Emoticon, which have built up a veritable monopoly of Sega based emoticons?

    Windows mobile on iPhone Why not?

    sounds like a massive improvement to me, it would be more reliable, stable and infinitely more fun and easy to use.

    I am happy in the knowledge that a giggle of joy or a scream in fear constitutes sonic emotion. No need to investigate further.

    Spooky!

    In a moment of spooky prescience, a colleague asked me this morning if the operating system on his iPhone was Windows Mobile, the same as my HTC Tytn II!

    Made me smile...

    Just because you know you want to know...

    "Welcome to sonic emotion, the 3D sound experts.

    Others talk about a soundfield, we create it!

    Wheter you look for a professional sound system or a license for your consumer products, sonic emotion offers the right technology."

    Save yourself time and check out XNXX's webiste instead. It's much better.

    "Lulz" is spelled "lulz", in this case the word is "lolz". It's a subtle disctinction that is often lost on stupid people..
