Instead of a ringtone letting you know who is calling you can get a Facetone showing photos of the caller culled from the web, social media and photo website. Verizon Wireless announced that the Facetone is now available in V CAST(video follows). Facetones calls itself "The ultimate social ringtone."
Vringo's Facetones creates an automated video slideshow using friends' photos from social media websites and photo sites and then plays this video slideshow as the phone rings.
Initially, Facetones will connect with Facebook, one of the world's leading social media sites, providing a significantly enhanced mobile experience for consumers of social media.
Verizon Wireless customers can purchase and download Facetones from V CAST Apps in the Social Networking & IM channel. Facetones is available for a $0.99 monthly subscription or a one-time purchase fee of $2.99, plus tax, for unlimited use on all Android smartphones from Verizon Wireless featuring V CAST Apps, including the DROID X by Motorola, ThunderBolt by HTC, Samsung Continuum and the Revolution by LG. Data charges may apply when browsing, downloading and using certain applications. There is also a free version available from Android Market.
