Absolutely! There is more in the pipeline right now.
Also, I thought it might be useful if I add a couple of instructions for corrosion:
Phase: How far the distorting signal is phase shifted (in samples)
Amp: How much the distorting signal is amplified after being phase shifted.
Height: The final height of the distorted section of the signal.
Feedback: What percentage of this signal is fed back to the phase buffer.
Offset: The final DC offset of the output signal.
Corrosion is a sound distortion unit offering phase-based distortion with features like feedback, amplitude modification & DC offset with wraparound.
It is is a 3rd party sound effects plugin for BhajisLoops & Microbe- both fully featured studio packages for handheld devices. Corrosion is available for free download and is in the beta phase of development, consequently we would appreciate the reporting of any bugs so as to assist in the development process.
Corrosion begins by offsetting the phase of the incoming signal by a defined number of samples, this phased signal may then be amplified before using it to distort the original signal. Part of this signal may be fed back to the phase buffer, finally the entire output signal may be given a DC offset with wraparound before being returned to the mixer.
This provides the user with a wide variety of distorted artifacts and there is also the potential to produce oscillations and spatial-sounding effects.

Dolby has introduced a set of software technologies collectively named "Dolby Mobile" that claim to add depth to sound as also adjust audio algorithms in such a way so as to enable hardware provide the best possible sound. This year's World Mobile Congress saw Nokia announcing it would adopt "Dolby Mobile"; the Finnish handset maker even demonstrated "Dolby Mobile" on one of its N95 smart phones.
"Dolby Mobile" comes with a post-processing licensing package that comprises Mobile Surround, Natural Base, and Sound Expander and supports mobile audio, video, and TV sources. 'Mobile Surround' works on regular headphones and is supported by a full-fledged software equalizer. It works in tandem with 'Sound Expander', algorithms that simulate a surround effect.
Apparently "Dolby Mobile" leaves little room for code protection which is why Dolby says it has to be careful in protecting intellectual property. As such, "Dolby Mobile" will not go to market as a stand-alone application, rather as a bundle with upcoming smart phones. Meanwhile, Sharp and Sony Ericsson are already offering "Dolby Mobile" enabled cell phones in Japan.
being a devoted Bhajis user, I'd need something with the intuitive design and HUGE feature list of Bhajis Loops before I switched from Palm to something else
these other apps seem interesting, but none seem to offer a full 'system' of production and performance

They'll be doing a demo of the DS-10 at a "sound-creator" type event called IMSTA FESTA. It'll likely end up being Sano-san saying "see, look at this, cool huh? and this, cool huh?"
But, they regret that things will still only be preliminarily debugged by that point, so they although they would want people to freely play with the DS-10, that's not going to be possible. If people want to come up and do "light testing" that might be possible however.
If you go to the IMSTA FESTA, you have to RSVP though. (They provide a link).
As soon as things slow down and they get a finished version, since you can take the DS-10 anywhere, they want to start doing product demos (especially to elementary schools!). To the teachers of Japan: How about a special education session? If there's a problem with having long hair and a beard, these issues "can be dealt with."
CoreCodec has released a new update to its massively popular CorePlayer Mobile multimedia software for Palm OS. CorePlayer v1.2.3 brings a large number of new features and all around improvements. The main new features include YouTube video support and a native YouTube browser, the addition of a number of new streaming audio and video formats, Google GData support, multi-language support, optimized AVC playback and AVCHD support.
April 10, 2008 - GrooveStep will be competing this weekend in the CDM Futuristic Music Design Challenge taking place at Yuri's Night Bay Area 2008! If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area on Saturday, April 12, 2008, and want to try out GrooveStep in person, please stop by the CDM Lounge after the competition. The competition takes place 2:30-3:30PM and we'll be at the lounge afterwards for a few hours.
It basically says that they are working on getting all the bugs found and fixed and that because they're busy doing that, there aren't going to be any new additions included on top of what they already have.
They're fixing bugs as fast as they can find them, but new ones keep popping up, "There's another enemy!" "There's a scary one!"
He makes a funny reference to feeling like the snot-nosed Nobita-kun asking Doraemon for a fantastic machine invention to get them out of the fix they're in.
They aren't saying it's not going to come out in July, just that there's not going to be any new additions. July seemed far away, but now it's closer than they thought.
SunVox is a small, simple, fast and powerful program for music creation, based on modular synths and tracker-like interface.
(Detailed info about music trackers is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracker) SunVox is Based on parts of the PsyTexx tracker, the PsyTexxSynth engine and the SunDog engine.
Hi, Palm Sounds
I tried to translate Mr. Ok@miya's post on DS-10's official blog on 2008/3/24.
There might be many mistakes since my English is incomplete.

I've read comments on this blog. I found that there are lots of people who
have a question. These are the following.
"Does DS-10 have MIDI IN/OUT ability?"
"Can DS-10 connect with the PC by Wi-Fi?"
"Is it possible for DS-10 to send and receive it's projects via internet?"
The answer is "NO" to all these questions.
The reason why we do not implement these functions is that they have many
problems. (for example, too much costs.)
First of all, we wish that you'll enjoy our DS-10 at stand-alone.
We are convinced that you shall be crazy about our product.
Since DS-10 is able to save it's tone-settings and sequences as a "session",
you can store your own "session" in DS-10 cartridge, even if you were in the destination.
DS-10 will be able to preserves 6 "session" in it.
We have a plan to make a "setting-sheets" for DS-10 to print out it's settings
on the paper. (ex. position of knobs) We think that it will be fine since it has retro,/analogic moods.
We wish you could download them from our official site of DS-10.
On DS-10's drum-trucks, First, it generates percussive tones by using the same way that
it's "synthesizer-parts" is using. Next, it samples the tone as a PCM, and assigns them
to each truck. (If you carefully watch our demo movie of DS-10, you will notice at this point.)
There are no need to assign percussive tones to drum-trucks. You can assign your favorite
tone to them as you like. You can use 4 drum-trucks among with your ideas.
We will prepare the "pre-set sounds". But we wish that you will create your own
sounds/technics by yourself.
Enjoy it!
