If you’re like me, you use your phone for all kinds of things besides making phone calls. I watch videos, play games, surf the web, and listen to music almost constantly! So here are a few of my personal favourite audio and video applications. They are in no particular order as it’s difficult to pick and choose between them - they’re all very cool and useful in their own ways. So have a look through and grab a few and let me know what you think!
YouTones for the iPhone allows you to send your friends hilarious messages by recording your audio, mixing it and sending it to a friend. You can also use the same system to make ringtones!
I talked to the guys at Funmobility about making a video and they came up with this little gem. The video explains the YouTones service and the voice-over is amazing. I would really like you guys to listen to the video, because I’m trying to figure out who the voice-over reminds me of.
Ever wish your phone cackled like a witch every time your phone rang? Me neither. But someone out there must, right? Well, just in case that person is you - go ahead and head on over to the Windows Mobile site to pick through some scary Halloween ringtones for your phone. They’ve got howls and hoots and… vampire noises? Hrmm. Teeth gnashing? Maybe vampires laugh a certain way or make creepy cartoon noises when they walk? Huh.
Zune is a great mp3 player in the sense that it doesn’t have all the DRM hassles that you get with the iPod. You can share music with other Zune people and nobody will give you grief for it. The player will now be available for Windows Mobile users too. Hopefully, we’ll be able to share music with other WinMo users. I’m thinking this feature will become available with Windows Mobile 7.
The Large Hadron Collider Rap ringtone has been really popular these days. I found the link for you guys if you’re interested. Click here to download the ringtone. You have to be a member of FunMo.
Myxer is the largest and fastest growing site for free ad-supported mobile content - with over 11 million users, more than 22 million mobile downloads a month, and a catalog of over 1 million ringones, wallpapers, videos and games.

Viva Vision is a Santa Monica based company that provides content for slideshows, video on demand, and live video for mobile phones. They already have over 250 million subscribers worldwide and were recently named to the Inc. 500 List which recognizes the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. We’re keeping an eye on this company because video streaming is growing quickly in North America and with all the advances in data plans, we can expect some great content coming to mobile.
Can you imagine how funny it would be to have the 90210 theme song blare really loudly every time your phone rang? Especially on a really quiet but packed bus where it would attract more attention than if the Elephant Man got on. I think that’s enough reason to buy.
A bunch of new free ringtones for BlackBerry popped up on mobile.blackberry.com which kind of look like they didn’t make the final cut to be prepackaged with the BlackBerry Bold, as they’re sporting the familiar Inspired and Pro series names. They’re all the high quality you’d expect right from RIM, and worth nabbing real quick if you’re looking for a taste of the Bold on another device.
