mobiletechnews.com — Emotive Communications' patent-pending flagship product is the "Push Ringer" which reverses the common ringtone model. It enables a caller to push an outgoing ringtone to the receiving phone allowing the caller, not the called person, to set the tone. The startup company just received $7.7 million in funding.

I can see me answering my phone with "How about you call me back when you're not a stupid f**k" more often.

I really hope this catches on, I'd love to make my co-worker's phones make dirty noises while they're in meetings.

logicbomb: dude, you can get brilliant samples for phones, and if your phone's no good for samples, you can get some good midi. you're probably just looking in the wrong placei've got the happy monday's on mine right now, and it really really works

if it didn't cost extra money, this could be awesome, so long as the person picks one tone and sticks with it. for my friends and family who call often, i have set an individual ring-tone for each of them, so i know in advance who is calling before even digging through my purse for the phone. examples: my best friend is an anime dork, so she gets a ring tone that sounds like japan. my father always calls his office "the zoo" so his ringtone is a funky clucking chicken. and so on.

"Follow the sound of my voice and kill who ever is holding this phone." Foamy

The amount of 2-3 second audio clip advertisement is going to go thru the roof."Enjoy a whopper!""Built Ford tough!"Little s**t like that is going to be exploding from peoples phones. It will cause me to cancel any service that allows it.

video ringtones are on the way: "Until now, you chose a ring tone for yourself - for instance The Rolling Stones, and that describes something about you to those around you when your phone rings. But otherwise it doesn't tell any story about yourself. In enabling people to share video clips - a snippet of comedy show or a joke, or to their own 10-second video message with their cell phone camera saying something like "Get up!" or "Why are you avoiding me?" - then it becomes something that you're not creating for yourself, but for your friends."<a class="user" href="http://www.israel21c.org/bin/en.jsp?enDispWho=Articles%5El1550&enSearchQueryID=8&enPage=BlankPage&enDisplay=view&enDispWhat=object&enVersion=0&enZone=Technology&">http://www.israel21c.org/bin/en.jsp?enDispWho=Articles%5El1550&enSearchQueryID=8&enPage=BlankPage&enDisplay=view&enDispWhat=object&enVersion=0&enZone=Technology&</a>
