CHICAGO, May 5 (UPI) -- Every year U.S. women spend $5 billion on magazines, movies and other lifestyle "content." Now, marketing experts tell UPI's Wireless World, the mobile-phone industry is eyeing the women's market as a new niche, hoping to provide customized content, whether it is ringtones, personalized "wallpaper" or other features exclusively for female customers.
The number of women age 15 to 45 who download content for mobile phones is expected to reach 20 million. By Gene Koprowski

Mobile phones with makeup mirrors?
I don't know about this? My wife's cell phone seems to be a send only unit. She still hasn't utilized it past the call my cell phone and task option.
Now there is a million $ idea.
What about a camera that points to the user, so she can use it to put makeup on, or he can use it to comb his hair.
What women want is money and lots of it.
Actually, my Samsung can do that. Maybe if they made the screen a bit bigger and added a makeup light....
Hmmm, I think you have something there.
Or...
How about putting a mirror on it.
Post #2.
That is so 1999. lol
And slots to store credit cards and a secret compartment that hides wedding rings.
What about a printer that connects to the bank account and prints out a check?
A stronger, longer lasting vibrating feature...(can you feel me now?)
I can see the ad now. "Call me."

Yep. My personal cell phone, purchased under duress, is for making and receiving short quick calls. I think it can text but I am not sure.
I don't want a entertainment center I just want a phone.
More full audio SW ringtones for my Sony SW themed cell phone of course!
THIS woman doesn't even want a cell phone, and never did. My husband got one for me, and it sits at home most of the time. I doubt I've made a call on it in the last three months.
OMG, how have you managed to do your grocery shopping without the cell phone stuck to your ear. I don't think you're allowed to go through checkout, in some stores, unless you're talking on the cell phone so that you can't write your check until the conversation is over ;-)
It's good to have in case you break down. If they could make one that can lift 50 lbs plus and change a tire, that would really be handy.
I admit, I do feel out of place with the "new etiquette" of doing things. What I still can't get over is women who use cell phones while sitting in the stalls of public bathrooms. You'd think the loud flushing sounds all around them would be a deterrent, but I guess not.
The fact is, I'd just as soon not have a phone at all, cell or landline. :)
That was my husband's excuse for getting it in the first place - I was the middle car in a three car accident (the car in front of me stopped short, I stopped in time, and the big Oldsmobile behind me did NOT stop in time, driving me into the car in front of me). Only the guy in the first car had a phone.
So the Mr. got me on the "I just want you to be safe, honey" ploy.
LOL...so keep it turned off and tell the Mr. you don't need a honing device. You can turn it on when/if you need it. When I found myself answering the phone on the beach one day, I realized how intrusive they are. There are just some times when we should be incommunicado. OTOH, there times when I needed emergency help and am glad I had it with me.
