Finalizing my thesis

Not much to blog these days. I'm pretty busy with my thesis. It has be be ready by the end of March and I'm just about to write the two last chapters. I write about Mobile Music - not ringtones, but full-length audio downloads - and it's really challenging. I wonder how Apple will evolve into that area, but I think the deal with Motorola was just to bring iTunes to the phone - nothing more. In the meantime, Sonyericsson announced something interesting, a revival of the world-famous Walkman.
Will the all-new walkman fight the iPods and all the other new stuff? Well, certainly it's still a big brand but the question is whether Sony will do it right.
I've seen the Sony Connect Music Service but once you're into iTunes you won't like that much. I have the feeling that Sony is really something for the techies in us. Well, there are certainly lots of them around but being a techie means also to be forgiving for some things that this funny little thingy won't do. Like the simple fact that I can't transfer a recorded interview from a Sony Net-MD walkman via USB. I had to record the whole stuff using an audio cable to be able to work in it via a computer.
I briefly thought about buying an iPod and an iMic, cause this would have been perfect for recording the interviews (for my thesis!). But I thought I'll wait for the iPod with the integrated mobile phone - which will certainly come, we simply don't know when. Instead, I bought myself a nice little iPod shuffle, which was perfect during it's first uses in the Vienna underground or during running on the evening.

Sales management exam - DONE!
It was a tough exam on Saturday but I'm now one step closer to the finish - in June.
The photo was taken a bit out of Vienna, during a nice walk with my Girlfriend. It great to spend the time together.
