    Dolby sound quality on a mobile phone? Really? Did someone say 'overkill'?

    @Thomas Young, it's not overkill at all in my opinion.

    The current state of sound quality in mobile phones is awful. And with them becoming more and more entertainment/media devices, the sound needs to be on par with the picture quality.

    So bring it on, Dolby!!
