Gartner, the research firm predicted recently that the worldwide end-user spending on mobile music is expected to reach at a new level of $32.2 billion by 2010 from a level of $13.7 billion this year. It is in fact an ortho-shift where the growth in ‘ringtone revenue’ is on down side and the ‘realtones’ are becoming new “cash cows” for carriers, reveals the research firm Gartner.

‘Realtones’, or the ‘True Tones’ or the ‘Real Music Tones’, are snippets of real songs that are used as ringtones. Polyphonic ringtones, on the other hand, are simple instrumental versions of songs made with a synthesizer and intended to play on any cell phone.

Apple last week added the capability to allow users to create their own ringtones in ‘GarageBand’ and export them to the iPhone. Users can now choose their own preferred songs from their ‘iTunes library’ to create their own ringtones.

End mobile users are expected to spend a total of $6.9 billion worldwide on polyphonic and monophonic ringtones next year. This will be downfall of revenue from $7.1 billion this year. Spending on ‘full music tracks’, ‘realtones’, and ‘ringback tones’, a customized music that plays when people ring a number, is expected to surge up to $12.3 billion next year. This will be a shoot up from the existing revenue level of $6.6 billion this year, according to Gartner forecasting’s.

AT&T’s Top 10 list revealed that out of the 40,000 ringtones that it offers to the users, the most popular ringtones are the carrier’s music tones. Top Ten Ringtones are;

1. “Party Like a Rock star” by Shop Boyz
2. “This Is Why I’m Hot” by Mims
3. “Crank That” by Soulja Boy
4. “Rockstar” by Nickelback
5. “Don’t Matter” by Akon
6. “Buy You A Drank” by T-Pain
7. “A Bay Bay” by Hurricane Chris
8. “Beautiful Girls” by Sean Kingston
9. “Pop, Lock & Drop It” by Huey
10. “Big Girls Don’t Cry” by Fergie

“Ringtones continue to be one of the most popular entertainment features on wireless devices, whether they’re hip-hop, alternative, classic rock, pop, Latin, country or even holiday tunes”, said Mark Collins, Vice President of consumer data at AT&T’s wireless unit.

For customers, AT&T’s ringtones cost $2.49 each. Users may also sign up for ‘MyMedia Club’ to get redeemable credits to be transacted for other ringtones, graphics, and games. These typical packages start at $6 a month.

To awaken the holiday spirit in customers, AT&T has also offered its customers ‘songs of the season’ as ringtones for free. To download such a free holiday ringtone, users may send a text message with the word “gift” to the number 7230.

The company is trying to provide everyone an equal opportunity by limiting the amount of phone purchase for every person to about two only as compared to the previous limit of five units per person. The move might be too late though as there are about more than a million units already sold since its launch from June. Only time will tell how much has been accumulated by unscrupulous re-sellers.

Another issue for this new –must-have item for urbanized shoppers is the exclusive terms of iPhone to use AT&T network solely. Naturally, this would cause a lot of inconvenience for the rest of the public that are loyal to their current network providers.
A string of hackers that offer to unlock the devices for use to other networks were the natural consequences of this corporate decision on exclusivity.

The company naturally tried to prevent this from happening since it is damaging to their business. Unfortunately, their efforts of using updates that covers up the software’s weakness for hacker’s intrusion were met by the public with equally stolid reactions sparking a couple of lawsuits in the process.
