Mobicious: One part iTunes, one part Google

mobicious.jpg Mobicious.com" - a name that came about by squeezing the words “ambitious,” “delicious” and “mobile” together - wants to make it easy for cell phone users to search for, download and rank the thousands of mobile services, ringtones, wallpapers of celebrities, weather alerts and video games. The Boston Herald reports.

"One part iTunes, one part Google, Mobicious.com" is planning a “soft” launch of its service this week.

By logging onto the company’s Web site" people can search for ringtones, wallpapers, streaming video, even horoscopes. Users can preview the content on the site and then have it sent directly to their phone. When a particular item, say a ringtone, costs money to download, Mobicious sends the user directly to that company’s own store.

The idea is to make finding and getting cell phone features easier."
