SMS is now used for all sorts of business and entertainment purposes.
MMS (Multimedia Message Service) allows you to send pictures, sounds, and full
videos to others just as you send emails.
But if there is one thing that changed mobile phones from communication devices
to consumer goods, it is the camera. Starting with VGA quality images (640x480
pixels), today's mobile phones are equipped with five-megapixel cameras, flash,
and other tools to add effects to the photographs. Millions have turned into amateur
photographers just because of the camera in their phone. The Internet is full of funny
and dirty video clips taken from mobile phones.
Not everyone could afford an iPod. So, mobile companies started adding MP3
support to their phones. Use of MP3 ringtones and swapping music files has become
a norm. Listening to radio using the phone has shot up too.
And that's not all. As these phones are little computers themselves, you can develop
applications that extend their functionality or add new features. Application
development over Symbian, J2ME, BREW, or Palm is very popular. Each phone comes
with a set of applications and utilities, and there are thousands of developers around
the world who develop games and utility applications that run on mobile phones.
