If this isn’t coming from Japan we would call it plain weird. But we know that people there already read novels and comic books, pay their bills and do much more on their mobile phones. However, we were kinda surprised that a company from the “Land of the rising Sun” is trying to get its name in the Guinness World Records book with this idea. The name of the company is Dwango and they plan to claim the “world’s longest ringtone” title with their 61 minutes and 40 seconds long melody.

Forget what I said, it is weird! Just imagine someone’s mobile phone ringing for an hour. Would you shoot the guy/gal or what? :)

He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
