Cell phones

Fierce Wireless recently reported that music downloads to cell phones will make up 30 percent of the industry's revenue by 2011, more than doubling today's estimated 13 percent till. That suggests mobile music downloads will grow far more popular than they already are.

This begs the question: Just how important is mobile music to cell phone users? Important enough if iPods, iPhones, and phones are sold primarily for their players. More pointedly, how important are cell phone music downloads to you? Are they more wanted than videos or games, or just as popular? What's your preferred technique for getting the music you want? Share opinions, tips, and tirades in the comments below.

To find free MP3s to make into ringtones, visit CNET Download.com Music.

I love watching videos on my cellphone, but sometimes I have to transfer my videos to my PC and play them there. It's not easy playing cellphone video formats on a PC, but I play them with ease using Quack Player. Quack Player rocks!!!!

I think many, especially the new generation, will think mobile music, videos and games are important for their mobile phones. For me, the only important thing about my <a href="http://blog.chokyi.com/your-secretary-the-scheduler-of-your-cell-phone">mobile phone</a> is able to call out and in. Mobile music, videos and games are nice to have, if they are free of charge, I'll be happy to download them. :)

Best regards,
