This video gives you the answer. I have the PS3 already, so I don’t need to be convinced but for those of you who aren’t aware of its features, this is a great video. It’s very long (about 5 minutes) for a viral video but I think that the length is ok as it has an “educational” purpose. Here’s the video that I found via Business Garden:

A few months ago, I got the pocket PC HTC P3300. I’m really happy with it. It’s a great product with Windows Mobile and TomTom Navigator 6. I know that there are other mobile phones out there which are “trendier” like the Nokia N95 or the iPhone but I don’t think that there is a much better phone/GPS combination available for the same price. Yesterday, I updated my Windows Mobile software to 6.0 and downloaded Windows Mobile Device Center (check out the Windows Mobile Team Blog) for the synchronization between my mobile and PC. Until now, it works like a charm but I wanted to know if there were any useful internet applications for mobile phones.
I found a lot of internet applications for different uses, from GPS tracking to managing your mobile phone via Internet. My list only contains those who are free of charge. These are my favorites:
trackr!: With this application, you can let people know where your are if you have a GPS receiver in your mobile phone. It could be interesting if you want to know where your friends, children or employees are. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get it to work on my PPC.
UPDATE: After reading this blog post, a trackr! employee offered to help me get their service to work on my HTC and now it works fine. That’s what I call customer service!!
Dashwire: This application synchronizes your mobile phone content with your Dashwire account. I’s interesting because you don’t need a cable connection to do it. I already requested an invitation and hope to test this service very soon.
With WidSets, you can create widgets for your mobile phone. It can be used on a lot of different mobile phones because of its java platform. It’s also possible to create a widset for any kind of page.
Mobopic allows you to create a wallpaper for your phone in just a few seconds in three simple steps. Simple but useful application.
Zumobi lets you access web-based content in a new and innovative way. I watched the video on their page and it looks pretty cool but the download page didn’t work when I wanted to get the Beta version.
With Mojungle, you can create a video or take a picture, send it via standard text message to Mojungle and embed it directly into a player that you can use on your blog or on a social networking site.
Netvibes has been my RSS reader of choice for a long time. There is a new release coming soon called “Ginger” and as a Netvibes fan, I’m really looking forward to use it. Go to the Netvibes Blog for more information. The new interface looks great:
The Buzz and communications Agency Vanksen/Culture-Buzz did a very nice viral marketing campaign to promote a new site called “Good Idea” about shopping in Luxembourg. It is very nice to see a buzz campaign about my home country. To make the campaign really viral, they created a customizable video:
The video is in my mother tongue. Yes, there is actually a language called luxembourgish! Most of you probably didn’t understand a word of this video but the French subtitles might help.
But that’s not everything they did for this campaign. They also decorated or spammed (it depends on how you see it) Luxembourg and it’s surrounding cities with 14.000 stickers and 1200 T-shirts. I have no doubt that they will get some buzz for their street marketing campaign in the local media and in the blogosphere.
Here’s a video of the street marketing campaign:
