A music critic in the palm of your hand

The CoCo (not to be confused with the
CoCoPod) or Concert Companion is a way to finally show up those classical music snobs (at least, those few of them remaining in the age of 50 Cent). Recently tested at various orchestras it consists of a PDA with a wireless connection and special software that delivers real-time information and video about the current piece being played from a computer backstage. Of course this necessitates paying less attention to the music you're listening to so as to get more information about the music you're listening to, which strikes us as sort of defeating the purpose.
