Technology has known an amazing evolution in the last yeas, almost like in the fairytales we used to read as children. Starting from a big phone with a bunch of numbers on it to a device the size of box of matches, the mobile phone industry has seen an incredible evolution. The mobile phone industry has evolved to a point where it can boost other industries, like music and graphics. This is how the realtone and the mobile wallpapers become a part of our lives.

Mobile phones are now a necessity just like clothes. Not to have a cell phone means that you’re still living in the Stone Age. The truth is that a mobile phone has proven its necessity and its attractiveness. Unlike other things, mobile phones industry looks like it knows no boundaries, every month something better and with more features comes out, usually costing a lot of money. While the size of a mobile phone decreases the technical characteristics increase. The point where a cell phone is a small computer has been already reached. The old fashion cassette player or CD player has been replaced by a realtone and a picture has been replaced by mobile wallpapers. Everyone owns or wants to have a phone they can carry around with them - a device hat doesn’t weight much and can do a lot of tricks: play music and display images.

“Realtone" is now a very common word and it’s almost impossible not to have heard of it. What is a realtone? A realtone is a piece of music reproduced the same way as it would have been by a CD/MP3 a few years ago. The realtone has evolved from a mono ringtone. This type of ringtone represents a lot of musical notes played on only one channel. This is how the first cell phones rang. After that the sound was played on two channels and four channels, then sixteen. This is how polyphonic ringtones became really popular. What was the next logical step after this? A realtone. Now, when your cell phone rings, you can hear a piece of your favorite melody or the voice of someone you really appreciate – actor, politician, girlfriend, wife or children. A realtone doesn’t have to be only part (a fragment) of the song, it can be the full song, but this can happen only if your mobile phone allows it. Some phones have a lot of memory space so you can enjoy more than one realtone. A realtone is basically a song in mp3 format which you can use however you want.

Music isn’t he only thing that has evolved in time concerning the cell phones. Images are very important also. That’s why, instead of the monochrome screen with numbers on it, nowadays we have colored liquid crystal screens with complicated graphics available. A screen can have 4000 colors, 64000 colors and 256000 colors displayed on its screen. The more colors it has the better the image will be. What is the use of a color screen if not for pictures and mobile wallpapers? You have surely heard and seen this type of images especially if you use a computer. The amazing thing is they are not made only for computers now. You phone has mobile wallpapers now. These images are used as backgrounds for your phone to make it more appealing to the user’s eye. Cell phones are very much used because this is the era of speed and technology. Therefore, when you deal with such a device every day, you want to personalize it and make it more enjoyable. Mobile wallpapers work the same way as the wallpaper on your computer. They make you feel better because the image you like to see most is in front of your eyes every time you look at your phone. You can choose from a variety of mobile wallpapers, just like you can use any realtone to personalize your phone.

Getting your phone in fashion is not very difficult. A realtone or mobile wallpapers can be order of the Internet or even from TV. Selling realtones and mobile wallpapers has become a money making business. Ordering one of these online can cost from one dollar to three dollars and the same goes for TV orders. When ordering from TV all you have to do is send a message to a number they give you with the specifications of the realtone or wallpaper you want and in a couple of minutes you will receive a message containing the picture you ordered. For this simple thing you pay extra on your mobile bill. Another thing people do is download music, pictures or movies straight from their computer through a USB cable or a Bluetooth adaptor. This is a better idea because it’s free.

If we are able to do a lot of things with our cell phones, why not do it? Not so long ago, technology was limiting us because these facilities were not available, but now, that they are so easily obtained, there’s nothing to stopp us from getting exactly what we want. If you have a good cell phone, it would be a shame not to have a couple of realtones or some mobile wallpapers to make you feel better, at least once in a while.
