Vringo claims that it aims to use the popularity of social networking platforms to aid a better mobile experience. It added that in the future, too, it would look at taking this experience to other social media networks and photo sites. According to Badri Sanjeevi, COO at Mobango, “Vringo’s Facetones service provides an innovative way for users to experience mobile social connections. Playing a unique auto-generated slideshow of a friend’s latest pictures on Facebook when a user makes or receives calls is a great way to harness the best of mobile social technology.  We believe the Facetones application will be well-received by Mobango’s global user-base.
