Can ambisonics be used in a "handheld"
configuration? I noticed that
Nokia has a phone with four speakers, which I assume would be for
positional sound effects in games:

i quote: "Certainly, listening to music or even watch high definition
movies will feel more booming with Nokia X7-00."
ambisonics assumes a speaker in the midst of an array of speakers that
point more or less in the general direction of
the listener's head. this phone is just a gimmick.
I would imagine such a configuration would be
able to "beam form" the
the nokia phone has so little to do with any kind of "spatial sound"
that i hardly know where to begin.
This takes me back 10 months ago when I replaced my family 30" lcd
tv+sorround system with a tv from Mitsubishi, they had this type of
publicity to sale it.. 16-speaker system discrete 5.1 channels..
I remember reading that "discrete" word and imagining: hey, no more problem
with wife about those ugly looking speakers all around of the living room,
and got myself going deep on the economics just to get this tv.
Man, you better believe: image on 40" 1080p tv it's way better than my
older 30" 720, and for sound, yes they got it right, no more ugly speakers
on walls for the room, as well no more rich 5.1 sound, because that is sooo
"discrete" too.
I miss my real sorround system.
I have to get my wife agreed with me, about returning that "ugly" sound
system to the place it belongs.

on second though, maybe for this special model (bunch of front "surround"
speakers) the brand has to be changed to "Mythsubishi". Any way, wife and
children are full happy with it.
