hello,
sadly, it seems, steve jobs doesnt agee with us...
“First, he said, on a video player, "there’s just no equivalent of
headphones." That is, when you put on headphones and press Play on a music
player, the results are spectacular-you get a very close equivalent to the
concert-hall experience. But watching video on a tiny three-inch hand-held
screen is almost nothing like the experience of watching a movie in a
theater or even on TV. It can’t approach the same realism or emotional
impact.”
