AskMeNow expands search to include ringtone, wallpaper sales

IRVINE, Calif.—AskMeNow said it plans to add ringtones and wallpapers to its mobile answer service.

The company said it will offer more than 5,000 ringtones and true tones from hip hop, country and hard rock artists, television and movie themes, and college fight songs. The company will also sell 2,500 wallpapers.

Using AskMeNow’s service, customers can request the content using “natural language” commands. Specifically, the company said customers can request ringtones by texting the name of the song, requesting a list of songs by a particular artist, or texting a sample of the song lyrics to the company’s search service.

Ringtones and wallpapers are priced between $2 and $3 and are scheduled to be available by the end of the year.
