File this under things I never expected.
Marshall, the legendary guitar amp builders, have developed a music-focused Android phone.
For better or for worse, Marshall didnt totally flip the script here.
No matter what, guitarists everywhere are salivating.
The Marshall London Android Phone is a standard Android gear with middle-of-the-road specs.
Its a phone for six string instrumentalists, and that gets our attention right away.
The Marshall London phone is middle-of-the-road in the spec department.
The London phone features two front-facing speakers and a pair of audio outputs.
This allows close-up stereo playback with a bit more stereo separation than your typical compact gear.

There are a few controls on the London which are unique to this phone.
First, the M button, which is a hardware button that allows one-touch control of music playback.
Second, the phone features a gold-colored metal scroll wheel one side for volume control.
Marshall has talked up the audio processing in the Marshall London as being pretty unparalleled.
Its tough to echo that sentiment without hearing it for yourself.
This is a Marshall-skinned equipment.
Its not Marshall from the ground up.
That doesnt mean it cant be done tastefully, adding visual appeal to the phone.
Those problems aside, adding a guitar input to a phone would be ground-breaking.
It would make the Marshall London phone a lot more than just a phone.
It would be a creative companion for young guitarists everywhere.
Of course, with a contract, that price will be heavily discounted for the end user.
They could have gone further had they found a way to make this a gear for guitarists.
That could have been the mobile story of the month.
