Mobile Downloads

There are all kinds of mobile downloads available to customize your cellular phone today, but by far the most popular are ring tones. Cellphone ringtone mobile downloads seem to be everywhere nowadays. Back a few years ago, You could program your own cellular ring tones, and did not need the mobile downloads at all, but then again the possibilities were pretty limited. The phone was little better than an fm chip with a built in primitive synthesizer as far as tones went. Nowadays, thanks to mobile downloads, everyone goes around programming their very favorite songs into their cell phone. From Mozart to Motley Crue, mobile downloads have really made it possible for people to express their musical interests in their phones, and through these interests, to express a little bit of who they are as people.

Of course, there are all kinds of other mobile downloads as well. For example, Mobile game downloads have proven to be almost as popular as the tones are. This is because people really love their video games. Personally, as a former video game junkie, I think that mobile games downloads are a really bad idea. They allow people to carry their addiction everywhere with them. Before mobile downloads became so widespread, you at least knew that, unless you owned a gameboy, you could not play your games while you were out of the house. Cell phones really changed all that. With mobile downloads, you can play the games almost anywhere, and that is a fact. It really is a very unfortunate thing, if you ask me, because the rate of addiction is just so high in this country, even without all of the mobile downloads.

Of course, the only mobile downloads that are really useful (although none of them are necessary) are the ones which can provide you with information. For example, some of them will be able to give you an up to the minute report on the weather anywhere in the world. Other ones will be able to tell you the headlines and a short summary of all of the important news stories which are just breaking. There are even some mobile downloads which can give you continuously updated stock reports from any of the major stock markets. Personally, I think that all of this information is overrated. I mean, who can't wait until they get home to see how their stocks are doing?
