If I remember correctly, a Symbian S60-running Samsung phone had the B&O ICEpower audio technology or what not.

 

Personally, I think it's just another software-based DSP like Dolby Mobile / SRS-WOW / DNSe.

As I understand it, B&O ICEpower is actually a Class D digital amp configuration, not a software DSP - like how the Sony X and A series use digital amps. I've heard the amp technology itself is actually fairly well regarded (though Class D amps in general are not well regarded.)

Woah. I didn't know that. Sounds interesting.
