So any ideas as to which Indian mobile phone ring tone is being downloaded most to mobile phones across the globe?
Well apparently it?s a public health message which goes ?condom, condom.” The makers of this rig tone are somewhat amazed at the popularity of this ring tone that was launched last month.
Country director of the BBC World Service Trust, the international charity of the BBC, Yvonne MacPherson, said: “It is a hit internationally. Nowhere in the world are we aware of a ring tone for a product.?
?Condom, condom? was launched to promote safe sex via the use of a condom and thus tackle the growing HIV/AIDS problem in the country.

This highly sophisticated solar-powered product is perfect for any gadget lover. Especially if you love gadgets to clutter up space on your well lit desk. Actually you could even slap this hi-tech panda on the dashboard of your car. Now you might be wondering the point of this solar-powered panda and frankly even after reading the product site, so am I. The only function he performs is to dance. That’s it, the little guy just moves his head and shakes his body.
Seriously, don’t we have those little hula girls for that? Perhaps that is just far too lo-tech for this day and age. Either way this dancing panda is at least solar-powered. It does actually turn off, so if you’ve grown tired of his flailing, you can switch him off. Which is far more than that little hula girl can do, you can’t shut her off she just keep swaying her hips. To pick up the panda you can get him for $16 from Gadget4all.

Maybe not one of the giants of the mobile phone world, and well it is the smallest of the major mobile carriers, but in the past few months T-Mobile has introduced two music mobile phones that have won the praises of asia.cnet.com.
First from T-Mobile is the Motorola ROKR E8 which offers an innovative ?ModeShift? keypad, a well stocked music player which does deliver performance wise, and a 3.5 megapixel camera.
The other is the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic handset, again incorporates a more than average music player, however Nokia simply packages it in a more traditional design.

There is one thing you can count on in the mobile phone arena and that is any LG mobile phone that starts with ?VX? is sure to have a big Verizon logo stamped on it somewhere along the line.
And the latest in their LG trends should be their LG VX9600 which has just passed through the FCC?s tough stringent testing stages and should now by on its way to Verizon Wireless.
From the sounds of it the LG VX9600 should be a fairly interesting little handset, as most of LG?s VX9000 series are. So one could expect to see a 3.0 inch display, a detachable QWERTY, and a ?game pad? of some type.

Sony will be rolling out its Wireless Headset for the PS3 console at the end of October – in Japan, at least, bringing an immersive online communication experience for gamers who are rocking to new gaming titles that support the online chat feature. These titles include SOCOM: Confrontation, Resistance 2 and MotorStorm: Pacific Rift.
Offering simple operation and accessible voice chat on PS3, this sleek and compact Wireless Headset is an ear hook type headset, designed to fit either ear. Installed with Bluetooth, it pairs automatically with PS3 by simply using the bundled USB cable. The inner ear phone speaker of the new Headset along with the noise cancelling feature when in High Quality mode delivers stable, superior sound. Additionally, the bundled cradle can be used to charge the battery which will allow maximum of eight hours of voice chat when fully charged. While the Headset is connected to PS3, it will support on-screen indicator showing the headset connection status, battery charge level, speaker volume level and microphone mute status at a push of a button.
You will have to fork out 5,000 yen for this baby, but think of the coolness factor that comes along with it.
