Mobile Fashion 101
Fashion doesn’t only mean clothes, shoes, and accessories. Nowadays, it also applies to personalizing gadgets like mobile phones, laptops, and music players.
For laptops, aside from the colorful bags and mouse, you can also refurbish your notebooks with trendy laptop skins. There are a lot of shops offering customized skins according to clients’ taste. The price depends on the design and materials used.
Music players also have their say on fashion. There are tons of covers, cases and straps that represent the owner’s mood and personality.
As for mobile units, there are plenty of ways on how you can fix up your cellular phones. First, change your mobile unit’s case. You may opt for loud color or printed designs if you’re bold and artistic enough. After the covers, you can choose mobile wallpaper that represents your distinct characteristics. Then, pimp your mobile phones with your favorite ringtones from your favorite artists.
Just keep in mind, there are no exact rules in fashion. It’s all about being creative, fresh and funky!
May the best Ringtone win!
Candidates of the 2008 US Presidential Elections found a way to remind voters to go out, make their choice, and write their name on the ballot.
From the current contenders McCain and Obama to the former aspirant Clinton, almost all candidates included mobile downloads- both ringtones and wallpapers, as part of their election campaign strategies.
Statistics reveal that most US votes are from Generation Y and US mobile users. Gen-Y voters are those of ages 18- 29 years old. They are the perfect mobile campaign target because these voters spend 70 percent of their time on mobile phones (talking and texting) than other age groups of cell phone users. As for the mobile consumer population in the US, four in five American voters (almost 80%) are cellular phone owners, a solid and well targeted audience for stiff Presidential competition.
What’s more interesting about the mobile downloads campaign, is that these candidates also acknowledge their target mobile users’ different tastes in music.
To answer their voters’ diverse music preferences, candidates had their mobile ringtones in different versions – hip hop, alternative and rock. How euphoric is that!?

More Than Mobile Ringtones and Wallpapers
More and more non-profit and non-government organizations continue to give a new meaning to mobile marketing.
Lately, mobile marketing, in the form of mobile downloads such as real tone ringtones, polyphonic ringtones, and mobile wallpapers, becomes a tool to outreach programs and other activities related to charitable institutions.
Adding up to the list of generous groups utilizing mobile downloads as instrument in getting support is Marie Curie Cancer Care, an institution that provides free nursing for terminally ill patients in need of care from their home. Every donor who gets a mobile download helps the organization fund its efforts.
Marie Curie Cancer Care and other organizations are living proof that mobile ringtones and mobile wallpapers can be more than “just” mobile downloads.
