GeoPix: An Innovation Beyond Ringtones

Once the main mobile media type was the monotone ringtone, which basically played MIDI-type note sequences to approximate a song melody, but now real and true tones have dominated the market with their ability to play actual song clips and voice clips to announce incoming calls.
