Download system update

Hello,

Just a quick update for all our MT members. After receiving complains from our some members we have decided to remove zip format downloads and allow members to download files in original format. Although zip files are highly compressed and it might save your time in downloading but many members here don’t know how to extract zip files. So today we have completely disabled zip downloads and now you can download all files in original format. Let us know if you find any difficulty in downloading files to your PC. For WAP downloads please login into our WAP site http://wap.mobiletoones.com and download your files from your personal WAP folder.

Like always your feedbacks and comments are most welcome!

Thanks,

JOJY

KDDi rolls out Toshiba Sportio W62T cellphone

We caught a brief glimpse of Toshiba’s Sportio W62T when KDDi announced its vast summer 2008 lineup of phones, but the Japanese carrier is just now giving the handset its proper due with an official launch. As the rather unfortunate name suggests, this one’s intended to help you out in your various athletic endeavors, with it packing an accelerometer and built-in GPS to keep track of how many steps you take and how far you’ve gone, as well as how many calories you’ve burned. As if that wasn’t enough, you’ll also apparently be able to “compose music” by jogging along to special tracks. Otherwise, you can expect a 2.2-inch 240 x 320 display, a built-in 1seg TV tuner, a 2-megapixel camera, and built-in Bluetooth — no word on a price just yet though.

Mercedes-Benz introduces new iPhone integration kit

Mercedes-Benz’s current iPod integration kit is pretty weak sauce, especially since the new COMAND nav / multimedia system is so well done, but it looks like the automaker’s newest iPhone cradle will take steps to address some of the more glaring issues and also add some interesting new features. The cradle appears to finally integrate iPod controls with the main nav screen and COMAND controller instead of relying solely on the instrument display and steering wheel controls, and it will charge your phone while allowing you to make calls and listen to music. On top of that, plugging the phone in will apparently increase reception by using the vehicle’s antennas as well as the iPhone’s, and from what we can tell, you’ll be able to access the contacts list as well — something MB’s current Bluetooth system doesn’t allow. If you’ve already got the iPod kit or Media Interface kit, the adapters needed will run you €39 ($60), and the cradle itself is available now in Germany for €249 ($385). Lots more pics at the read link.

Sprint’s $130 Samsung Instinct twists free

Mossy don’t like it, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t put finger to screen and give Samsung’s new Instinct a test of your own. Particularly if you’re a fan of Sprint either by choice or by contract. Available now and right on schedule for $129.99 (with 2 year contract and $100 mail-in rebate), not the original $200 bounced around initially. With Sprint trying hard to position the Instinct as an iPhone killer, we guess they really didn’t have a choice but to undercut it in price.
