Ringtones may seem trivial, but the market in some countries for downloadable ringtones for mobile phones is very large and is expected to continue growing worldwide.
Ringtones are just one example of downloadable media. Early mobile devices were limited in their ability to handle such media, but now the opportunities go well beyond the latest ringtone.For example, it's now possible for mobile devices to download:games,music tracks,pictures,videos
With mobile devices continuing to improve - eg in terms of bigger screens and larger memories - the quality, size and speed of these downloads will also improve.Services such as these are paid for, but the price is generally so low that conventional payment methods would be clumsy and overly complicated. Instead they rely on micro-payments. For more information, see the page in this guide on micro-payments.
There are commercial opportunities for providing services to upload information from mobile devices. For example, a service that can allow customers to upload photos or videos taken via mobile phone and sent to a web server for display on plasma screens. Nightclubs have begun to offer the service to clients who can upload pictures and videos of their night out to a webservice. These can then be displayed at on the plasma screens in the nightclub.
