We often get exasperated with the speed of download of different types of mobile content. Let me construe a situation, not very hard to imagine. And the situation is that I am lazing around after a really hectic day at work. I am fiddling with my mobile and suddenly feel like downloading a popular tune which is available in the form of real ringtone or true ringtone. I get to work; browse through the Internet and get hold of the ringtone of my choice. The next step for me is to send a text message requesting the download of the same to my handset. However, the speed of download is quite slow and I have to wait for quite sometime to enjoy the ringtone. At that moment, I feel that my handset with advanced capabilities and user-friendly options amounts to nothing, if I cannot download my favorite
real ringtones and Java games at the click of a button!
The modern handsets equipped with innovative features such as capabilities for Internet access are no doubt quite novel. However, mobile phone users like me are bound to feel dissatisfied with the slow speeds of download.
The key players in this sector including handset manufacturers and network operators have started to comprehend the seriousness of the situation. They know that the speed of download of real ringtones,
mobile games and polyphonic ringtones have to be improved, to prevent phone users to get totally disillusioned.
Consequently, several technologies are being developed to tackle this specific problem. The underlying networks are being improved to ensure faster downloads of mobile games and ringtones. Considering the wide-spread popularity of real ringtones, true ringtones, mp3 ringtones, polyphonic ringtones, Nokia ringtones and mobile games, this is an area that needs instant attention from the "powers that be" in the mobile telecommunication sector. They have to take special care to provide faster download of mobile ringtones and games, which would lead to a more satisfying experience for a mobile phone user.
