Vringo, the company behind video ringtone services we covered for few times in the past, launched its Facetones product on GetJar. Available as a free download, the application creates an automated video slideshow using your friends’ photos on Facebook and then plays this video slideshow each time you make or receive a phone call.
Not sure I like the idea that much, but obviously some people love it. As a matter of fact, during the years Vringo has established a number of partnerships with both content providers and mobile operators. Among the companies they work with are such names as EMI, T-Pain, Tiesto, Muhammad Ali, Turner, Marvel, Discovery Mobile, RTL, Ingrooves and Agence France-Presse.
Finally we have the “words of wisdom” from Vringo’s President Andrew Perlman – he said: “GetJar makes it possible to expand the reach of our Facetones product on a truly global scale. Boasting 2 billion downloads to date, GetJar provides more than 150,000 mobile applications across all major platforms. After the successful launch of our Video ReMix app earlier this year, we are thrilled to be working with GetJar again as we launch Facetones through their mobile platform.”
