Definitely, you can speak of music *blasting* out of the speakers (i.e.
coming out of the speakers with maximum force, so loud in fact that you can
*feel* the sound waves as they vibrate your body and your bodily organs, as
well as *hearing* them).

In the OP's context I'd say that "fullblast" means something like "full-on"
(i.e. intense <video music downloads>), but it also conveys the idea of
maximum volume (but which in the context of mobile/cell phones doesn't
really make sense when you think about it -- it's just marketing hype IMO).

Nick
