Personalization for mobile phones has become a common need but the problem is not all phones may have that privilege. And while we have heard personalized MailTones for the iPhone some days ago, the Blackberry smartphones now have a version of its own. This was made possible by Electric Pocket, providing an array of tones which should help Blackberry phone owners assign preferred tones for people located in their address book who send them emails.

MailTones is compatible for the BlackBerry Storm, Tour, Curve, Bold and Pearl, and is now available at MailTones.com and all MobiHand-powered stores for $2.99.

Being a manager or a supervisor is a privilege that results from years of hard work. However, aiming for the top in companies just doesn’t stop there. In fact, you may say that these people are looking to improve on their stature and normally, these people are sent to training or special events to enhance their skills. Now, all they need is an iPhone or an iPod Touch plus this software called the iPocket Coach.

With the iPocket Coach, managers and/or supervisors can get the needed words of wisdom and guidance to make sure that they handle real life work situations as professional as possible.

The iPocket Coach offers managers guidance across eight categories including conflict, development, feedback, interviewing, performance, promotions, rewards, and termination. Each category is supported with key takeaways that cover what’s most important.

The iPocket Coach app is available at the iTunes Store for only $0.99. Definitely something aspiring supervisors and managers should have in their iPhones or iPod Touch.

We are seeing quite a number of game apps going out on their own. And a lot of their popularity has been brought out thanks to Facebook, the fourth-most trafficked site to date. Among the apps that have gained popularity include Mafia Wars and now Bumer Stars Mobile, which is now standing out on its own.

Developed by PressOK Entertainment and Large Animal Games, the game is now set out on its own for the iPhone and iPod users, a prime target that many other game developers have customized their games for. If you consider over 200 million people going gaga over their game, then why not give them the privilege of playing the game alone outside Facebook? Besides the purpose has been served right? (With reference to gaining popularity to Facebook!)

Bumper Stars Mobile works on any iPhone or iPod touch and is available now on the iTunes App Store for $2.99.

How important is a helpdesk or support medium for businesses and mobile phone app developers? Similar to modern day business, these are critical in making sure that they get the necessary feedback to be able to provide proper attention and customer service support for people who may be needing them. In short, it helps them improve current issues to provide patches and also becomes a key factor towards making future apps to cover a larger scope.

With this in mind, Zendesk launches the First Mobile Dropbox for Help Desk Functionality for Android and iPhones. This is something that can really be a privilege to most app developers, particularly the ones aching in getting feedback. With this dropbox in place, iPhone and Android users can easily and quickly submit a bug report, feature request, question or service request directly to the developer without having to leave the application.

The trend is similar to what we see online. There is no telling when help and support may be needed but this should be automatic. Today, we may rarely see them but overall, they are really something that should be instant and hence not really an option. Any business or app for that matter should provide them to people since no product or service is perfect and is susceptible to bugs, issues and concerns.

Support drop boxes are a ubiquitous feature on the web where users see them labeled as “feedback,” “support” or even “help,” providing an easy way for visitors to interact with the site owner. However, until now, mobile application users have not been able to enjoy the same convenience and access on their devices as they have online.

Personalizing the alerts on our mobile phones has been a practice that dates back to the 90’s. And while we are over the RTTL format era, today it has become easier to modify and create ringtones with the right software. However, not all mobile users have that privilege and some don’t even want to bother buying one since they can always download one from certain websites.

But now, mobile owners may be able to personalize ringtones thanks to RingToneBANG.com. The site reveals that anyone can simply edit raw media files to the site where they can edit them as they wish. No software needs to be downloaded and you can do the editing online. So as far as taking up space through program installations, users don’t have to worry.

There is no charge for accessing or using the ringtone creator. Users pay a fee only when they download the ringtone or send it to their mobile phones. The company offers two payment plans: $.99 per ringtone or a monthly subscription of $9.95 which allows unlimited ringtone creations and downloads.
