Myxer, the company that is usually known for its ringtones offering, is entering the wallpaper market with GeoPix for Android. The new application relies on the smartphone’s built-in GPS receiver and background services technologies to determine user’s location and then use that information to “auto-magically” change wallpaper.
Of course, prior to doing this, you’ll need to setup GeoPix. You can easily save any number of locations (either by sliding your finger around a map or typing in your address) and set images for each one of them. For the latter part, you are free to use your own photos or pick some from Myxer’s vast catalog of wallpapers.
And that’s about it. Not surprisingly, GeoPix is a free app which you can download from the Android Market or by texting GEOPIX to 69937 “MYXER.”
Finally, Myxer’s press release ends with a promise that more cool things are coming, including over-the-air music downloads, mobile streaming video, and a host of other new services.

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.
