Mobile media has expanded considerably in the last ten years or so, aided by the similarly rapid evolution in mobile technology and technology in general. Musical and visual content have been particularly popular since the beginning, as their potential for entertainment, customization and personalization has made them quick sellers at reasonable prices. The way that the mobile trends have gone, ringtones and wallpapers have been joined by apps and adapted versions of console games as big sellers for mobile content providers. The increasingly user-friendly, affordable and versatile technological bases of both computers and mobile units themselves have also enabled users to maximize the newer options that they continue to be provided.
One such option is a new development from Sony’s Creative Software, seeking to give mobile users plenty of choices for ringtones for use on their many mobile devices. 1000 Ringtones is a collection that is primarily geared toward iPhone owners, although it provides plenty of content that can be used various other phones as well as long as the file formats are supported. A single-disc $20 DVD release, 1000 Ringtones is a compilation of M4R and MP3 format files containing various ringtones and sound effects for loading onto iPhones or other mobile phone models that support the indicated file formats.
Sony Creative Software is a leading audiovisual production application provider, and just why that is can clearly be seen in the implications of this new release. Music, sound effects and spoken vocal clips are all part of the 1000 Ringtones lineup, and can each be assigned to incoming voice calls, text messages, and even emails. The diversity and plenitude of the included clips is not to be underestimated. This release smartly capitalizes on, and indeed adds to, the popularity of both ringtones and Apple’s popular smartphone model, which has achieved brand recognition anew for the manufacturer with its blend of music playing and storage and mobile phone functionality.
Indeed, Sony Creative Softwae’s own vice president of global marketing recognizes that the iPhones that Apple has consistently released to great fanfare “are one of the most popular cell phones on the market.” Sony Creative software has thus taken this opportunity to “invite users to add a personal touch to their device with 1,000 Ringtones.” Beyond just iPhone users, however, 1000 Ringtones can also cater to users of mobile phone models that support ringtones in the universally-popular MP3 file format, such as many Sony Ericsson models. Mac users uploading to their iPhones will need Mac OS X 10.4.11 as well as iTunes 8.2; on Windows, the requirements are iTunes 8.2 and Windows XP.
The ringtones included in the single-disc DVD release are all ready for use, without the need for any additional fees or downloads. They have been pre-edited and pre-cut, and the DVD also includes clear and simple instructions for ringtone synchronization and use with the iPhone, as seen in a tutorial that demonstrates the aforementioned instructions and steps. The compilation is available at various brick-and-mortar retailers as well as online at sonycreativesoftware.com for $19.95.
