A Musical Mobile of Mobiles Makes Cell Phone Holiday Magic

The art installation is composed of 50 HTC Touch handsets, all run by custom code directed by connected computers. Apparently, it can be programmed to play any song, like the holiday-themed one in the video after the break, and remote musicians can access a live stream at the installation's site and play their own music. Any tune you can think of.
The piece was created by James Theophane, and worked on by a large team that goes by the name LBi. (That either stands for "Lost Boys International" or "London Beer Inebriates," depending on which source you believe.) It will be on display at the Brick Lane Studio in London through January, after which something new -- and hopefully as interesting -- will be hung in its place.

Currently the market is ruled by the smart phones and
one of the toughest competitors is Apple iphone. Then
all the other brands like HTC, Blackberry, Palm one and

Neat! This year, cell phones are big on my Christmas list. I have been unhappy with my old cell phone carrier for a while and some friends introduced me to StraightTalk...THANK YOU!!! So, I bought one for myself, my dear hubby and my son and we're all happy campers :)
