Enticing Children To Download Could Involve Penalties 
Watch MTV, Nickelodeon and other youth-focused TV channels, and you'll see commercials hawk screen savers of dancing frogs or the latest hip-hop hit ring tone -- all ready to download on cell phones.
Sources estimate that 25 million Americans under age 18 have cell phones. That's a big market for content providers.
A lawsuit filed last month might spark some changes. In one of the first legal actions of its type, the suit names as defendants content provider VeriSign and three wireless carriers. The suit, in essence, says the companies used shady means to entice kids to unwittingly download a bunch of content on their cell phone and thereby run up big bills for their parents.

Wireless Stock Quotes
I developed a new website which delivers weather warnings and stock quotes to your cell phone. The service is free. You can also get the quotes and weather updates delivered to your email address.

Mobile Phones and Expanded Use
Software downloads for mobile phones are finally starting to move beyond simple ring tones.
