My point is the filesize and the time it takes to grab and open the attachment for a mobile user. MP3 is so much smaller. At the same time an MP3 is playable properly in something like "Google Apps" without opening a player, a WAV file is NOT but the MP3 is natively recognized and plays via QT plugin without touching the attachment. My argument is SIZE and PORTABILITY. Yes my BB plays it just fine, just takes 10 times longer to grab it.

My wife's Windoze Mobile does also. But, for how long I guess is the question. Hopefully long enough for the license issue with MP3 to go away....... _______________________________________________ sipx-dev mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-dev Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-dev sipXecs IP PBX -- http://www.sipfoundry.org/ </[email protected]></[email protected]></[email protected]> _______________________________________________ sipx-dev mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-dev Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-dev sipXecs IP PBX -- http://www.sipfoundry.org/
