"Dolby Headphone is a technology developed by Dolby Laboratories, sometimes referred to as Mobile Surround, which creates a virtual surround sound environment in real-time using any set of two channel stereo headphones."

      [deleted post]dude no u dont seem to get it. there no such thing as a software generated 5.1 effect. 5.1 surround sound means that sound is being individually sent to 5 speakers an 1 subwoofwer. theres nothing else to it. when a phone claims that it has 5.1 surround, that means that when it is connected to a surround device (like the n8 via hdmi) then u will hear surround sound. but NOT through headphones. if u can explain better than i can go ahead but all ur saying is "it just can".

        khalil, 17 Oct 2010dont just say its possible. give me a rational explanation ... moreYou don't seem to get it, I'll try to explain it to you. There's nothing 5.1ish and there's no surround effect, it's just a software-generated effet called "5.1".

            many dac's are equip with v5.1 emulation,
            you will notice 5.1 emulation on movies you watch on SGS not music Mp3's
            FIY SGS and Wave uses Wolfson WM8994
            its posible, that why its called "virtual" better you try its first

                  5.1 surround sound with headphones? thats probably the d*mbest thing i ever heard!
                  do u even know what 5.1 means?
                  5 means 5 speakers are present. the .1 means a subwoofer is present. so sgs outputs 5 speaker + 1 subwoofer sound from a set of 2 speaker headphones? hahahahhhahahha!

                      Too little, too late. I've moved on already, my x10 is sold and I've bought a HTC instead. They keep their phones updated instead of outdated.

Desire is not good the lack of a noise cancelling microphone is a bigger defecit than the lack of a flash as it affects every call you make.

                          only it lack multitouch&xenon flash to be perfect
                          SGS with crappy 5MP camera and even no LED flash is crappy
                          please read some comment about SGS after froyo update

                                major disappointments of X10 as compare to SGS
                                1) there is no multi touch n will never be in future coz of hardware limitations
                                2)no video call camera
                                3)no documents editor
                                4)384 mb ram as compare to 512mb
                                5)wifi 802.11/b/g as compare to 802.11/b/g/n
                                6)bluetooth 2.1 as compare to 3.0
                                7)weight 135 gm as compare ti 119 gm
                                8)no div-x support
                                9)65K colors screen as compare to 16 million superAMOLED sgs
                                10)no radio
                                11)no 5.1 surround sound in headphones as compare to SGS
                                12)Hummingbird processor of SGS is better than snapdragon
                                13)and finally x10 gets android 2.1 where SGS is on 2.2

                                  Hi everyone out there, i m using x10 mini.... just want your guys and gals opinion out there, for now my x10mini able to play the incoming sms tone the whole song(if i upload a mp3 file on it), therefore, would this still able to work after we upgrade to android 2.1? or after upgrade we only need to use the built-in tone or only play a few sec of our selected mp3 as sms incoming alert???
                                  Also will it affect the schedule tone as well... As i am very satisfied with this x10 mini able to use own sms tone which able to play the whole entire mp3 songs... any one can give advice on this before i upgrade it later.... Thanks and have a nice day everyone....

                                    this upgrade will make the x10 king of smartphones!! Very sexy looking, best camera, and very good os with tons of useful app and games from the android store.

                                    Love you forever sony, thanks for testing the upgrade very well before releasing it, unlike the laggy slow sgs! Poor guys, they got froyo but it made their device slower.
