[78-L] [OT] We have seen the future, and it is....

[Stephen Davies]

        I caught the tale end of a lecture at work by Alan Cross, the very 
articulate DJ and rock historian, during which he made a "safe prediction" 
that, since the majority of music downloads in Asia now go to mobile 
phones, and since the Google-driven Android phone will be coming out this 
year, open-sourced, then it will be just a short time before there is a 
bit-torrent application for music sharing by phone.
        He also proclaimed himself as a vinyl-holic because 1) under the 
right conditions it is a superior sound to CD, & 2) the hassle, expense 
and rigours of playing vinyl are a proof of devotion to the music.
        My boss tipped me to his history talk today, but only after he had 
progressed beyond cylinders and platters.  I would appreciate it if anyone 
can point me to one of his books that gives his view of this era.
