Xingtone is an LA based company that allows your mobile phone to convert audio files into ringtone formats - this is an interesting idea, and one that is predictable running to a bit of a DRM problem here in hollywood. Here is an article about the service.
The Sony Ericsson Clicker is a piece of software that takes advantage of some simple applescripts and apple's fondness for bluetooth to allow you to use your phone as a remote control for your computer. I'm just envisioning people using this at parties - controling itunes - but there are some other interesting examples listed, such as having your computer wake up from sleep when you walk into the room, etc. The nice thing is that you can pretty much control anything, as long as you have the right applescript. Another writeup is Here.
Supafly is a mobile based game created by Its Alive, the same swedish company that did botfighters. According to the website, "Supafly is a virtual soap opera, and the goal is to become a virtual celebrity. To do that, you have to create as much gossip around you as possible, while maintaining your relations and status in your group. Using positioning technology, the game takes place in the real world, and you play on your mobile and on the web."
I'm trying to figure out a way to make an intriguing mobile service / experience that highlights Los Angeles as a unique cultural and historical space. Or something. I'm trying to get my hands on every kind of mobile experience I can find. try to see what works. what doesn't. any links would be appreciated.
thanks.

I met Scott Paterson at a workshop/retreat called CROSSOVER a year ago. He's an architect by training and teaches at Parsons. I think he was involved with the group that that did the Visual Thesaurus and he showed us interesting experiments in exhibition design. He's very attuned to the way people use space and the ways that space can be "tuned" to affect the way that people use space. I just got a notice of his latest project. Feel free to contact him.
