First performance of the American Idol’s top 12 contestants is tonight. AT&T figured they should prepare a special service for the event, hence they’ve just launched a new service to allow its customers to frame their favorite pictures within an American Idol setting and receive the finished product on their phone via MMS.
The so called “American Idol Framerz” has a frame for each of the top 12 contestants, as well as other Idol-branded images, allowing users with MMS-enabled phones to share some fun.
To “participate”, simply send an MMS with the selected photo to 5454, or uploaded it from AT&T’s American Idol web page. Once successfully uploaded, the images can be resized and moved within the frames, as needed, either on the Web or the phone. Finally, when you tweak the image, you can send it to another MMS-enabled phone or on any email address.
American Idol Framerz are $0.99 each to create, and only standard messaging rates apply when forwarding them to friends and family.

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
