My little friend 256-bit AES sends his regards. Have fun!

It has been confirmed that Nexus One is made by HTC.

And then there's Sony Ericsson's Xperia X10 which is also a KILLER phone:

Both are probably hitting the stores in January 2010.

Oh, the irony!
Thank God I don't use FB (and never ever will). :-)

This problem can be solved much more easily: get a pair of good noise cancelling / in-ear headphones (Sony, Sennheiser et al.) and there's no need for high levels of volume anymore. For example, I listen to music for hours every day and I've never had to crank up the volume more than 50% on my Creative Zen because I have good headphones. (If you stood behind me and screamed or fired a gun and I wouldn't hear a thing.) Perhaps some consumer education is in place?
