Shoppers in the UK, and specifically in London’s Covent Garden, can go Multimedia AV this year with their Seasonal wishes!
SpinVox have created “The Wishing Well”, which lets visitors speak their wishes in to their mobile and have it auto-converted to text. The wishes then get projected across the inner walls of the wishing well in real time – quite a dramatic effect I should imagine! To leave a wish, visitors call 0207 818 0880, and the call charges are local rate.
The Well itself is a 7.2m high, triangular structure apparently, opening from 10am-11pm, right through until the 5th Jan! It’s part of the Covent Garden “Christmas Delight”, which is a programme of events based around the popular location.
You can see a video of the Well here, and an online version of the wishes here.

About The Author
Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
