Art Ilano is trying to get you to shake your booty - by getting you to set your phone to vibrate. The fact is, he says, “the ring tone on your MP3-enabled phone that you think is so cute is actually annoying to just about everyone else around you.”

Well, Art, this bit of news just might kill you - now you can make your ringtone play on the phones of the people you call. Nope, this isn’t the ringback option offered by our local telcos - you don’t listen to the ringing tone set by the person you’re calling. This is an entirely different animal.

Emotive’s Push Ringer “allows a caller to push an outgoing ringtone to a receiving phone allowing the caller, not the called person, to set the tone and override the phone’s pre-set ringer.” Yup, you can call somebody and force them to listen to your favorite love ballads until they answer you call.

The service isn’t available here yet, but I’m dreading it already.
