The quest for the killer mobile app: ringtones from hell?
The quest for the killer mobile phone app is decidedly on at this week's Symbian Developer Expo, and of the various candidates spotted by The Register, the first wave of apps involving Beatnik's technology look like the ones most likely to get you killed, John Lettice writes . Think stupid ringtones, think of them becoming polyphonic, longer samples of your favourite music, excerpts from the speeches of Margaret Thatcher (and why not, indeed?)... Do you dare go into a public place toting a device primed to explode into Paranoid?
But such atrocities will surely go down a bundle with the kids, and Beatnik's BAE (Beatnik Audio Engine) is going into the next generations of mobile phones, so there's money in it. And you never know, we might even be persuaded to get some kind of official Register ring together, so it ill becomes us to cast tones.
