Vringo launched the social caller ID and video ringtone application for Android-powered smartphones called Vringo for Android. Available as a free download from Vringo’s website, the beta application is designed to “redefine the traditional caller ID experience letting users find, create and continue to share full screen video ringtones with their friends.”
As that’s the case with Vringo apps for other platforms, Vringo for Android also allows users to make their own video ringtones either by using their phone’s camera or by uploading any video stored in their phone’s memory. In addition, users can browse a catalog of thousands of free and premium video ringtones from Vringo’s collection.
As for the caller ID part of the app, it relies on VringForward, Vringo’s “inverted ringback” technology, allowing users to pre-record various status or mood updates and quickly send them to their friends without talking to them… More information and download instructions are available from this page on Vringo’s website.

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.
