Automotive Mobile Audio Video

Since the first Nokia mobile cell phone and the Nokia tune the mobile phone industry has exploded, and also did the ringtones market. There didn't only come more customers to buy the ringtones but there was a huge climb in the technology behind ringtones as well.

The first Nokia tune was a simple monophonic ringtones with only one beep sound. Soon after the Nokia tune there came a lot of other monophonic ringtones and even real songs that were composed to monophonic ringtones. But the technology did not stop. Because some years after the first Nokia tune the first polyphonic ringtones came out. Polyphonic ringtones became a big hype and every one who had a mobile cell phone wanted a new one that supported polyphonic ringtones. These polyphonic ringtones consist of more beeps than just one, so it sounds like a real song but without any singing. And the drums and the piano were very realistic. But after the polyphonic ringtones the technology behind ringtones slowed down a little bit. For a few years many companies were looking to find the best quality ringtone sound with the least file size. But after a while the mobile phone companies started to create and use bigger memory chips in their phones, and upgraded the quality of the sound. So after a while it became possible to have MP3 songs on your mobile phone and play them with good quality of sound. The first realtones are born...

But the first realtones weren't actually the realtones we use to know. Because it was a little bit too risky to set up deals with record label companies to use their artists songs. Just because they didn't know if anyone would be interested in the realtones. And the mobile phones that supported the realtones were very expensive and almost nobody had one. So the first realtones were actually called truetones. Truetones are mp3 sounds of real things. Like a mowing cat or the mowing of a cow. You even had a Yihaa! as a truetone or a big burp or a fart. But eventually more people bought a MP3 supported mobile phone as they became less expensive and those people actually bought those truetones. And eventually the market became bigger and bigger. The next thing after the truetones were the covertones. Covertones are the covers of real existing songs. But it was useless to make those because the productional costs were very high and you still had to pay a lot of money to the record label companies. So after the flop of covertones the ringtone providers switched to realtones. Real songs of real artists.

But why did it took so long before the realtones came? Well, that is really easy to answer: money. The realtone providers had and still have to make deals with record companies these deals go deep into the $100.000's only for the deal! After the deal you still have to pay for every realtone you sell! So it is really expensive to legally offer those realtones. And you have to make deals with a lot of record label companies because there are a lot of artists at different companies. So there just was not a big market for the realtones at first and the ringtone companies had to wait until the big crowds got into the MP3 supported mobile phones.

There are some negative things about realtones, the quality of the sound on your phone is most of the time not as good as the real song so you might hear a different way of the song on your mobile phone than when you listen to the preview. Also, realtones are very expensive because of the high record deals. Realtones sometimes even cost two times as much as a polyphonic ringtone. And when you buy a realtone online you pay more for the realtone then when you buy the full song online!

If you’re a couch potato that needs your sitcom fix every day, then why not download a TV-themed ringtone?

There are thousands of ringtone sites that take their cue from the most popular shows on television. Do a google search on “OC ringtone” and you’ll get hundreds—not just the theme songs, mind you, but callbacks—and in all the possible ringtone formats as well. Polyphonics, MP3’s, you name it. Try “Grey’s Anatomy” and you’ll get similar results, as well as old favorites like “Golden Girls”, “X Files”, and even “The Brady Bunch”.

What does this say? That ringtones have become as deeply-ingrained in our pop culture as the television medium itself. You don’t get that many websites without a market that’s eager to download that kind of service, even when it’s not free (although many do give some tones away, relying on ads to generate website income). If you’ve got the term “Coach Potato”, in a few years they’ll have to think of a monicker for a Ringtone Collector—people who not only download several ringtones, but regularly change them. In fact, some of them take advantage of their cell phone’s ability to customize ringtones per caller. Yes, you can assign the “X-Files” theme to your crazy boss (you’ve always thought there was something decidedly surreal about him), and be singing Friends’ chorus “I’ll be there for you…” whenever your pal makes a call.

In fact, ringtones have become some measure of a show’s fan appeal. Take the show American Idol, one of the biggest shows on the air today. Hicks’ “Do I Make You Proud” was one of the highest-downloaded ringtones for a while, proving that yes, this man’s got the fans tapping their feet to his music (even when they’re just answering a call). Put your phone and vibrate function and you’ve got his whole “dance moves” as well. Too bad Project Runway doesn’t have any songs you can translate into a ringtone—alas, some shows just weren’t meant to be cellphone-friendly.

In terms of pop culture, “X-files” remains to be one of the most popular, years after it aired its last episode. That’s got to be a sign of the show’s effect on pop culture, and how years from now, our generation will be talking wistfully about Mulder and Scully the way our parents reminisced over “I Love Lucy”.

Not that the old shows have been left out. Granted, “The Brady Bunch” took their last bow years before the cell phone was invented, but you can still download the ringtones of the show’s theme. You’ll also find “Cheers”, “Friends”, “Mash”, talkbacks from “Seinfeld” and “Frasier”, and even “Love Boat” and “Hawaii Five-O”. Daytime soaps also make the cut: “General Hospital”, anyone?

This points to one thing: ringtones are no longer just ways to add personality to our phone. In a way, they’ve become a way of documenting (pun intended) “the sounds of our times”—what we watch, what we love, and the TV characters we’ve most identified with.

Not very long ago, pre paid cell phone service was thought of as being mainly for people with bad credit. Today, pre paid cell phones and plans are a good alternative to a regular monthly cellular plan, but buyer beware. Pre paid can be broken down into two totally different categories, and knowing the difference can save you time and money.

The two types of pre paid cellular plans are prepaid monthly cell phone service, and pay as you go cellular service. At first glance there wouldn't appear to be a considerable difference in these two pre paid plan types, that is until you dig in and read the plan details. The truth is there is a huge difference between pay as you go, and monthly prepaid.

Pay as you go cell phone plans can be thought of as the phone card of the wireless world. After you initially purchase your cell phone, you can add minutes anytime you like by either purchasing additional minutes online with a credit card or go to a retail outlet and purchase a pre loaded refill card.

Think of Pay as you go cell phone plans as a plan of convenience, best when used for emergency situations or very infrequent use. Since you only need to add minutes when you need them, a pre pay cell phone is great to just have around. You never know when your car might break down or you need to make a call away from home.

Stay away from pay as you go if you plan to actually be using your cell phone on a regular basis, or more than thirty minutes a week. At this point pay as you go isn't so cheap anymore since you'll find yourself buying more refill cards and burning up your minutes on connection fees. More frequent calling requires a monthly prepaid plan.

When you purchase a monthly prepaid cell phone plan you'll be billed the same amount of money each month and you will not be able to go over your monthly minutes, making monthly prepaid a great choice for cellular if you will be making calls from your cell phone frequently but need to be on a budget.

Some of the more attractive features of a prepaid monthly cellular plan are those providers often times provide features you would normally find in a regular cellular plan like, mobile-to-mobile calling, and nights & weekends as free calling time, and are sometimes compatible with regular cell phone plans.

Some cell phone carriers such as Cingular allow customers to call GoPhone customers as free calling time, and vise verse. This is particularly useful if you have friends and family members who use either GoPhone or Cingular. Another cellular provider that offers a comparable service is Verizon.

Cell phones have changed the world. A person can remain in "touch" with people around the globe thanks to cell phone technology. Even though cell phone technology is just a few years old, cellular phones have penetrated all corners of the world.

Cell phones are now available in thousands of models. Cell phone battery is one of the most important cell phone accessories. The cellular phone battery life is one of the key factors users look at when purchasing a new cell phone.

A battery consists of a cathode, an anode and an electrolyte. The cathode is a metal oxide strip, the anode a metal strip that has a tendency to oxidize, and the electrolyte a conducting medium in which the anode and cathode are kept. When the anode and cathode are connected, the anode draws oxygen atoms thus generating electricity. Various types of batteries are available like alkaline batteries, lead acid batteries, lithium/manganese dioxide batteries, nickel metal hydride batteries (NiMH), Nickel cadmium (NiCd) batteries, lithium ion batteries etc. For mobile phones lithium ion (Li-Ion) batteries are predominantly used.

Lithium ion cell phone batteries are rechargeable batteries. They are much lighter than other batteries because they carry extremely high-density charges and are easier to store than NiMH batteries. They do not suffer from memory effect. Sony Corporation first introduced lithium ion batteries in 1991.

Memory effect is a strange phenomenon - if a battery (usually nickel batteries) is repeatedly charged at partial discharge, the battery "forgets" that it has the capacity to discharge fully. Gradually the battery loses all capacity to fully recharge and has to be discarded. Li-Ion batteries also have a low self-discharge rate of approximately 5% compared to other batteries that are generally around 20-30%. However if mistreated Li-Ion batteries can be dangerous and have very short lives.

Some guidelines that can increase cell phone battery life are:

* Never discharge Li-Ion battery fully, recharge it at 40% capacity.
* Never store batteries above 60 deg Celsius.
* Do not keep batteries in moist places.
* Do not dispose off batteries in fire. They may catch fire or explode.
* Store in a cool places, this will increase their life considerably.

A portable phone might be good if you need to call the office or someone needs to call you in person when you are out and about. Equally, it could be worth the investment if you ever want to tell your partner, family or friends, “I’m running late”, or “Please, collect the children”.

When choosing a mobile, Ian Cambpel, the editor of What Cellphone magazine, recommends you to check:

The amount of talk-time you get before the batteries need recharging. This varies from less than one to more than four hours.

Whether a phone comes with at least a year’s free warranty.

How calls are charged. Three-second units are more cost-effective than one minute.

Replacement cost. This could be four times as much as the purchase price, which likely to have a special promotion.

Watch out for hidden extras. Before you sign your air-time agreement what and how you pay and other conditions, read it carefully. Check how long it runs for, how much notice you have to give to terminate it, whether it costs more if you don’t pay by direct debit and whether you must pay a deposit. Most air-time contracts run for at least 12 months, and even if you return your phone you have to pay until the agreement ceases.

Mobiles are changing our life for better. Whether you want to be safe, super-efficient or just plain sociable, there are many good reasons for joining the mobile revolution.

The market of camera phones is a market which literally blew up last year. Sony Ericsson Cybershot K800 is the successor to the K750.

This device is first of all a cell phone which, for transferring data, work either with GPRS and UMTS, it is then a true 3G cell phone. Sony Ericsson K790 is just only GSM/GPRS/EDGE. Sony Ericsson K800 design is pretty much like a digital camera. It offers a really large screen. Holding the Sony Ericsson K800 vertically, we well have a cell phone, and holding it horizontally we find back digital camera sensations. All the photos are at the best resolutions of 3.2 mega pixels (2048x1536).

Sony Ericsson K800 is PictBridge compatible. The purpose of camera phones is not only take photos and let them on the cell phone. It essentially consists of printing them. Sony Ericsson K800 is conceived for this purpose and offers multiple solutions, such as, in first place, connection to PC but also PictBirdge compatibility which allows to print your photos with a printer, which is also PictBridge, without going through a computer. Just use a USB cable. The cell phone has a 16x digital zoom, an auto focus and a Xenon type Flash. To extend the 64 MO internal memory, you need to use new MemoryStick Micro (1 Go max).

Sony Ericsson K800 is also for the professionals. You can surf in HTML, search for RSS feed, Sony Ericsson K800 is also compatible with push email and its connectivity is extended with USB 2.0 and Bluetooth for wireless fans. And to relax, Sony Ericsson K800 is also a MP3 player.

To access to the Internet, apart from Google directly integrated and RSS feed reader, we can also note a web browser Netfront. That said, in my opinion, Opera Mini still remains the best for browsing on a cell phone. We also find an integrated module for chat.

Regarding the messaging functions, we can request the Sony Ericsson K800 to regularly pick up new email (push function). However the phone can't read word and pdf.

The device also integrates a flash player which is capable of reading animated flash and SVG format. However, the device does not integrate a 3D accelerator for games. You will have to stick with those standard java games. However, the device is now multi-thread, that means you can launch multiple java applications, read your email and listen to music all at the same time.

The cell phone has three games: FotoQuestFishing and MiniGolf.

Music wise, even if the Sony Ericsson K800 does not belong to the W serial (Walkmann), we can still play MP3/AAC, AAC+ and eAAC+. FM radio is still RDS. A new function allows to connect to Sony Ericsson servers to analyze the listened song and give data about it.

Cell phone Nokia N73 is a 3G smartphone which main function is digital camera.

Cell phone Nokia N73 belongs to the Nseries. Nokia N73 is the successor of N70. It is designed to compete with cell phone Sony Ericsson K800. Nokia N73 has appealing design, advanced photography functions, 3D sound for audio pleasure. Other than the large 2,4 TFT screen (256K colors, size 240 x 320 pixels), cell phone Nokia N73 integrates a camera of 3,2 mega pixels (2048x1536) with Carl Zeis, an autofocus system and a x20 digital zoom. It supports online communities such as Flickr. The toolbar allows you to send your photos using electronic messaging, Bluetooh connection or MMS technology, to print them or upload them on an Internet community.

Thanks to Nokia XpressTransfer, you can easylly organize and transfer your pictures and videos to your PC. Choose your preferred elements for printing with Nokia XpressPrint.

Cell phone Nokia N73 offers all the diversity of a powerful multimedia computer using a Symbian S60 system of 3rd generation. Music fans can use the digital audio player and listen to FM radio or simply enjoy functions such as messaging, desktop applications, organizer, synchronization with PC and Internet surfing with Web browser Mini Map (WAP 2.0/xHTML, HTML). You can also see the person you are calling or who is calling you thanks to the VGA camera, activated for visio conferencing.

The standard battery Li-Ion 1100 mAh allows up to 6 hours of talk time or 350 hours in stand-by mode. The Nokia N73 is available in either silver grey/deep plum or frost white/metallic red color schemes.

A clamshell cell phone with charm.

After the Chocolate of LG or L'Amour collection of Nokia, it is Sony Ericsson turn to target the women with its Z610. Design is an essential component of a cell phone for a commercial success. Sony well understood that too.

Indeed, cell phone maker Sony Ericsson is about to release a brand new 3G cell phone. Sony Ericsson Z610 (94.5 x 49 x 20 mm and 110 g) is a clamshell with original look. Despite its really good performance, the device well counts on its design and particularly its reflective exterior surface to seduce the consumers.

The cell phone has a hidden screen, which can only be visible when the device is in use. This screen switch on when an incoming call or message is received.

Cell phone Z610 also integrates a 2 megapixel camera, with 2,5x zoom. Capacities of the device are enhanced by a 2" (176x220 pixels, 262k colors) internal display. Videos can be recorded in QCIF resolution.

Cell phone Z610 is sold with a 64 Mo memory card (up to 1Go). The internal memory is only 16 MB. The cell phone user can then store his images, his videos and his audio recordings in MP3 or AAC formats. The cell phone integrates a push messaging system. The cell phone is tri-band with UMTS 2100, Bluetooth and USB 2.0.

Software Picture Blog is still present, which allows to directly sending our snapshots to a photoblog. And the phone also supports RSS feed that deliver the latest news updates.

Cell Phone Contracts In General

A cell phone contract is an agreement between the buyer and the wireless service provider. Usually it is of 1 or 2 years of duration, during which a consumer is legally bound to remain with the wireless service provider. A pre-paid contract does not need a contract term but then discounts are also not offered. Cell phone contracts specify the service plan that the consumer has opted in for.

The Top Names In Cell Phone Contracts

Cingular and T-Mobile plans let the subscriber roam the world with the same phone for a fee. National plans give the facility of roaming within the nation, from state to state without any extra charges. Some carriers also include Canada in their coverage areas besides the local area. Regional plans are valid only for tri-state areas and they give more talk time and save money. How to Simplify Billing for Your Household Family plans allow splitting minutes between two or more lines thereby becoming a popular plan in households, where cell phones are replacing landlines.

Cell Phone Trials And Discounts

Carriers generally give a trial period before enforcing the contract term. Almost all carriers give at least 14 days whereas Cingular gives 30 days of trial period. A 1-year cell phone contract has a shorter commitment period, which may prove to be beneficial if the phone needs repairs, or is lost. In addition, since the period is short, one may avail of new discounts that come up with their new contract. After the term of 1-year ends, the phone can be kept without any contract and no penalty is charged for not renewing. However, in a 1-year contract, the activation fee and/or the phone may not be cheap. Certain discounts and promotional offers cannot be availed of as in a 2-year period.

Watch For Activation Fees In Cell Phone Contracts

In a 2-year cell phone contract, the activation fee and/or the phone may not be expensive. Huge discounts on the phone may be availed. Special promotions may be availed. However, the phone is kept for a longer duration and hence, more money may be spent on repairing, insuring, or replacing. The opportunity to buy a new phone reduces, and thus may not be eligible to switch carriers. It is always advisable to read the fine print on the contract form. Expensive phones may also opt for phone replacement insurance plans; however, due to the costs of such plans, few subscribe to these plans.

Pre Paid Gets Rid Of Cell Phone Contracts

Pre-Paid or No Contract phones are not available with all cell phone companies. They are attractive as they require no commitment, you can get them even if you have bad credit, and there is no penalty whatsoever for switching companies or stopping the use of your cell phone. However, call charges may be more expensive, and no promotional discounts etc., may be availed of.

In order to understand, let us look into the GSM classifications very briefly.

Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), is a world leading standard, first adopted in Europe and then spread through Asia, Africa and Australia, New Zealand, etc. GSM coverage maps are available for nearly all courtiers. It is a digital technology and uses Time Division Multiplexing methods in communication. There are three categories of GSM phones that are available:

The dual band GSM phones operate on 900MHz or 1800MHz. These phones will not work with the service providers operating on 850MHz.

The tri-band phones have operating frequencies of 900MHz, 1800MHz and 1900MHz bands. These phones will work around the world including North America, but will not work in places where the service providers support only 850MHz.

The quad band phones, on the other hand, operates on 850MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, and 1900MHZ and therefore would work every where around the world with all the service providers.

Therefore, for your international travel, it is necessary that your GSM mobile is a quad band handset for it to work world-wide. Or else, it should atleast support tri-band frequency ranges. If you do not own such a phone, you can always rent one for your travel abroad. Please visit www.planetomni.com/RENT_INFO.shtml for more details.

A pre-paid SIM card activates your GSM mobile, without you having to enter into any contract with the service provider. It already has airtime credit included in it, when you purchase such a card. When you have reached the limit of your airtime credit, you may re-charge the card with re-charge vouchers, to extend your credit. The SIM card has a life expectancy of 6 months, after which a you need to purchase a new SIM card. With some service providers, this life expectancy of the SIM card can be increased indefinitely by keeping on recharging the card for your airtime credits.

With the pre-paid global SIM card, you get the benefit of having the same number, which you can carry through your journey in different parts of the world. On top of that, the calls that you receive are free of cost, no matter where it is generated from. You save on the charges that you would need to pay for roaming, which you have incurred, if you would take your usual mobile with you. Further, it is doubtful whether your phone would work in the countries you visit, if you do not have a quad band handset. In this scenario, imagine the charges that you would pay to call your business associates or your family at home, from your hotel room. A pre-paid global roaming SIM card has that much saving for you.

What do you generally get with your prepaid global roaming SIM card?

A starter airtime credit.

Free incoming calls.

All outgoing calls at local rate.

No roaming charge for international calls.

International roaming in over 100 countries.

A phone number which you can carry through any part of the world.

Free incoming SMS.

Voicemail.

There are no monthly or yearly charges and you don’t need to sign any contract.

The main fact behind taking a prepaid global SIM card on your next trip abroad is the 'worry free' factor, which limits your expenses, which is not the case as in the case of your post paid services. These SIM cards can be re-charged for new airtime credits when-ever you need it. There are many countries, where the service providers allow incoming calls even if you have used up all your airtime credits, which become an important feature with these prepaid SIM cards. Further advantage is that, you avoid the process of credit checks and monthly bills, which becomes an easier way to control your expenditure on the use of your mobile telephone.

A prepaid global SIM card is for those who is thinking of using his mobile overseas and do not want to pay the huge roaming charges by taking their GSM mobile along with them. Now, you can buy the SIM card before you leave home and also rent the GSM mobile that will work all over the world.

This is a true story: A woman aged 90 with a history of medical problems was living independently in her own home. Her daughter had bought her a cell phone and urged her to keep it with her at all times. One night at 3:00 a.m. the woman was making herself a snack and fell asleep in her chair. She fell to the floor and broke her hip. Dazed, in shock, in pain and unable to move she used her cell phone to call her daughter who immediately called 911. An ambulance took her to the hospital emergency room where the doctors performed surgery to repair her hip. Thanks to the daughter, a cell phone and an expert team of medical professionals the woman is able to walk again and lives in her own home.

The mobile phone industry has evolved to point where it can boost other industries like music and graphics. This is how realtones and mobile wallpapers became part of our lives.

Mobile phones have become necessity like clothes and if you don’t have cell phone that means you are living in the Stone Age. Mobile phone has proved its necessity and attractiveness and the mobile phone industry knows no boundaries with new mobile phone with better features coming each month. The size of mobile phone has decreased whereby its technical characteristics have increased. The cell phone has reached point where it can be said as small computer.

The old fashioned music player has been replaced by realtones and pictures have been replaced by mobile wallpapers. realtone is piece of music reproduced in the same way as it would have been by mp3 few years ago. The realtone has evolved from mono ringtone. This type of ringtone represents lot of music notes played on only one channel. This is how the first cell phone rang. After that the sound was being played on two channels and four channels and thereafter sixteen. This way polyphonic ringtones became popular.

A realtone could be piece of your favorite melody or the voice of someone you appreciate. It is not necessary that realtone is part of song but it could be full song if your mobile phone allows as such. Many mobile phones have lot of memory so that you can enjoy more than one realtones. realtone is basically song in mp3 format which you can use however you want.

It is impossible to deny today’s popular trend of cell phones and its accessories, one of which is the ringtone that is no longer confined to its attributed functionality but becomes symbol of chic and quirkiness.

Basically, ringtone is sound to signal an incoming call on the cell phone. The first generation of mobile phones used only few bells and beeps as ring and message tones.
