Alltel Avatars is a new service from Alltel that allows users to send 3D animated MMS greetings to their friends. The service enables users to choose from a library of pre-produced greetings or use templates to create their own greeting using 3D avatars, photos, voice and more.
To put it in other words, you can add emoticons, personal audio tracks, personal digital signatures; create an animated image from your photos, or combine it with a typed or audio message, and send to mobile devices or e-mail.
Alltel Avatars is available to any Alltel MMS subscriber with a video enabled handset that can play 3GP files. Right from the start, there are hundreds of cards to choose from and sending a greeting cost 99 cents.
Finally in case you’re wondering, a 3G mobile multimedia platform provider Vidiator is behind the service with its Xend 3D hosted platform.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. 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.
