Mobile Graphics

Narendra over at cellphone-wallpapers.net dropped me an email after I gave a shout out to zedge.net. You'll remember I said that you'd be hard pushed to find a better site for free mobile downloads.

Well Narendra didn't give me any agro for making the claim, instead just suggested I checkout cellphone-wallpapers.net.

I did, and I like it. In addition to free mobile wallpapers there is a great selection of free mobile video clips. I'll pick a couple of good ones out shortly.

Get over to cellphone-wallpapers.net and check them out for yourself.

So I just had a call from Tony Jarmey over at Steathnet, a UK based mobile content provider.

He told me The Register had posted an article regarding the humourous results of searching for "boobs" on stealthnet's content site. The result was not thousands of sales of said "boobs mobile animation", but a bashing of their server.

The up shot of the article is that, some internet browsers cause a "boobs" mexican wave effect when viewing the web page.

So what, we hear you saying - it's just another run-of the mill, albeit jubtastic, flag-based flash. Well, before changing channels in a huff, click here and watch what happens.

Getting the picture? As James explains: "Different browser load patterns lead to different effects. Most of the time Firefox does an almost Mexican wave. IE seems to load randomly, but a refresh synchronises all of them. Some load the top half and then the bottom half leading to an up-down-up-down juggle."

Well, I'm using Firefox, and a few page refreshes did indeed produce a Mexican-wave effect, and a strangely hypnotic group mamsout fiesta. So hypnotic in fact, that I wrote this story at 8am this morning and have only just managed to disengage myself from the bouncing boob samba. Must.. try... and... concentrate...

Just goes to show you that THERE IS such a thing as bad press.

Let's face it, aside from getting a new skin for your cell phone, there's little you can do to make your cell phone stand out in a crowd. But a cool wallpaper or screensaver on your mobile phone can make you the envy of all your friends (or a laughing stock, depending on your choice of wallpaper).

I suspect celebrity mobile wallpapers are the most popular, closely followed by personal pic's taken with a camera phone.

Anyway, I'll be hunting down the best cell phone graphics and giving you the heads up.

As always, your really welcome to use the 'Comments button/form' to let me know of any mobile wallpapers that have got you hot and bother under the collar. I'll make sure it gets featured for other Thumb Lounger readers.
