MTV Mobile

Your Music Television on Your Phone

BACKGROUND
A lot of older people would say if you asked them about the quality of MTV these days, that it isn’t what it used to be. Justin Timberlake even made a remark at the MTV Video Music Awards about that he didn’t even know that MTV still played music videos. It is true that MTV really isn’t about the music anymore, but for those individuals who are in tune with youth culture, MTV Mobile has some decent content for your cell phone.

MTV Mobile has 24 distinct genres all related to things on MTV. Most of the content is ringtones from featured artists like Britney Spears or 50 Cent to Rihanna and Chris Brown. The site does not have a large selection of ringtones or wallpapers from years past or present. Most content is strictly from the past year. If you are looking for anything older than 2 years old then MTV Mobile is not for you.

The site has a limited selection of ringtones, alerts, videos, TV shows, games and other features. For what content they do have the prices are pretty reasonable. Plans start at $2.99 per month but only offer one ringtone or wallpaper. Videos and other unique content will cost more depending on carrier. If you are strictly looking for current MTV programming content then check the site out. Anyone else will be disappointed.

CONCLUSION
MTV Mobile is generally like MTV these days... filled with commercialized generic sights and sounds. It seems like MTV just recently threw together this website because there is not a lot of content or useable search features for users. For those individuals looking the latest artists and trends I’m sure MTV Mobile will have some what you are looking for. It seems like MTV Mobile is geared towards tweens and teens.
