Audio
Integrating Rewind, Play / Pause, and Fast Forward controls on the outer
panel, users can quickly and conveniently access the built-in Music Player
without opening the A930.
As one of the newest devices to access Verizon Wireless' online VCAST
Music Store, customers can browse, preview, download, and play high-quality
digital music from the A930 over Verizon Wireless' broadband network.
Combining the immediacy of over-the-air, full-music downloads with the
ability to move digital music, consumers can take music already downloaded
to their PC and sync it with the A930 via USB cable. Storing tracks on removable
microSD (TransFlash) memory cards, travelers can load up their music collection
and take it with them on the road.
For private listening, users can plug headphones into the Headset Jack.
For an open-air listening experience, dual speaker ports pump out stereo
music. By merging VCAST Music online services, dual stereo speakers, removable
memory, and dedicated music playback keys, the A930 offers a complete music
experience.
Messaging
 The
A930 supports all the text messaging standards, sending text through SMS
(Short Messaging Service), positioning layouts with EMS (Enhanced Messaging
Service), and attaching photos, voice clips, or recorded videos through
MMS (Multimedia Message Service).
In addition, Verizon Wireless integrated Mobile IM for access to the
most popular instant messaging services. Able to chat in real-time through
AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), MSN Messenger, and Yahoo! Messenger, users
no longer have to end the conversation when leaving the PC. Now they can
take it with them on the A930. Data charges may apply.
Entertainment
PIM (Personal Information Management) applications commonly found on
most cell phones are included. Alarm Clock, Calculator (Normal, Tip, and
Converter), Calendar, Notepad, Stopwatch, Voice Memo, and World Clock all
come preinstalled on the A930.
Consumers can also issue voice commands through the VoiceSignal 2.0 technology.
As one of the most popular and advanced voice recognition software, VoiceSignal
recognizes one-step name and digit dialing, voice-activated application
launch, message addressing, audio and visual prompts, and text-to-speech
output. Users can also customize advanced functions through Expert User
Mode, and adjust recognition sensitivity and audio level. VoiceSignal also
works in conjunction with Bluetooth accessories.
New programs can be installed through downloadable Java-based applications
supporting BREW (Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless), a common platform
for mobile devices. With abundant software for business users and gamers
alike, consumers can find mobile versions of popular PC applications and
video games reminiscent of 90s console games already available.
