Sola Rosa Moves On Mobile

Regular Xtra Mobile users may have noticed the Sola Rosa link on the main Xtra Mobile WAP page, and I highly recommend following it through. Defiantly the nicest looking WAP mini site I have seen yet. Sola Rosa a.k.a. Andrew Spraggan creates a non-genre specific blend of music listed under "Easy Listening, Electronic, Film Music, Ambient, Breaks, Funk, Dub/Reggae" on Amplifier.co.nz. Sola Rosa's music is available for download as a Tru-Tone on compatible phones, and also Caller Tunes for every 027 Mobile. Video Clips are also available for those lucky Sanyo 7400 and 5600 users. The animated clips 'Leave Home' and 'Ready' are among the nicest looking streaming video clips yet seen. Well worth checking out.

I love the things some people come up with, and lets face it, who hasn't thought a watch phone would be useful? Sure its a little retro, but so practical...

Theres A Lot Going On ...

Post London Bombing, two new mobile phone services in the UK have gained attention;

ICE is a simple yet very effective idea, In Case of Emergengy. Easy to implement, just list your emergency contacts under ICE in your mobile's phone book, then if something happens to you, a passerby can pick up your phone, scroll through your contacts for ICE, and call your mum/dad/doctor, or whoever you want really.

textOK.com stores all your contacts email address online, and by sending a txt containing the word 'OK' to their number, textOK.com emails all your contacts to let them know you're safe. Quite a clever idea, it has the benefit of not overloading the mobile networks after terrorist incidents.
