The AAC+ 24kbps is ideal for mobile devices, the sound quality is virtually identical to the MP3 stream with a much smaller file.
All S60 3rd Edition devices support AAC+, however some PC audio players (such as iTunes) have yet to support this format.

This week I was joined by Petteri Koponen and Joe Walnes from Google. They had some very exciting S60 related news to share about Google's Picasa Web Albums for S60. Sorry by the way for the audio quality not being optimal at times. We did this podcast using Skype since me and Petteri were in Finland and Joe in London. Hope you enjoy the podcast!

I'm a huge fan of Nokia's content-sharing site MOSH. I've began to upload my entire S60 library to the service,so I can easily download all my essential apps everytime I switch to a new phone (which is waaay too often). And thanks to the service, I've found all sorts of cool apps I would have never seen without it. If you're a MOSH user, be sure to click here and add me as your friend!
There's been a lot of great things said about MOSH, a few critical things, and a few questions. So I got together with MOSH's Communications Manager, James Waterworth. We discussed the history of the service, where it's been, where it's going - and we even got to a response about their infamous GoogleAdsense-iPhone ad! Enjoy the podcast! And if you're unfamiliar with MOSH, here's what Wikipedia has to say...
MOSH is a user defined distribution channel for mobile content initiated by Nokia. The name "MOSH" comes from "Mobilize and Share".
The channel can be used to both download and upload various content for mobile phones or other platforms. File types that are handled are: audio, images, applications, games, videos, documents.
A person can create an account on MOSH that comes with the following stats: creator (for content created by that person), collector (for the number of objects added to the collection in the account) and sharer (for uploading files that are not necessarily the work of that person) [1]
MOSH was launched by Nokia in August and is still in Beta.

James found his way to Finland and Nokia by marrying a beautiful Finnish girl. He manages media relations for MOSH and wishes he had half the talent of most MOSH contributors. In his spare time he digs holes in the garden, plants flowers, bushes and trees and hopes they will survive the Winter.
