Alltel Avatars is a new service from Alltel that allows users to send 3D animated MMS greetings to their friends. The service enables users to choose from a library of pre-produced greetings or use templates to create their own greeting using 3D avatars, photos, voice and more.
To put it in other words, you can add emoticons, personal audio tracks, personal digital signatures; create an animated image from your photos, or combine it with a typed or audio message, and send to mobile devices or e-mail.
Alltel Avatars is available to any Alltel MMS subscriber with a video enabled handset that can play 3GP files. Right from the start, there are hundreds of cards to choose from and sending a greeting cost 99 cents.
Finally in case you’re wondering, a 3G mobile multimedia platform provider Vidiator is behind the service with its Xend 3D hosted platform.
