White Paper T610/612
8
Templates
The T610/612 comes with a number of MMS pre-
defined templates, for example templates for birthday
cards, meeting requests etc.
Audio
MMS provides the ability to send and receive full sound
(iMelody and AMR) messages. Not only can users share
a favourite song or ring signal with a friend, they can
also use the mobile phone to record sound and send it
along with a message. Because sound includes speech as
well as music, this extra dimension of an MMS message
makes for enhanced immediacy of expression and
communication. Rather than sending a downloaded
birthday jingle in EMS, for example, a user can send a
clip of his or her own personal rendition of “Happy
Birthday”.
Pictures and themes
By using the built-in digital camera in the T610/612
users can take a snapshot and immediately send it to a
recipient. The ability to send pictures is one of the most
exciting attributes of MMS, as it allows users to share
meaningful moments with friends, family and
colleagues.
Mobile picture transmission also offers inestimable
utility in business applications, from sending on-site
pictures of a construction project to capturing and storing
an interesting design concept for later review. Editing a
picture by adding text allows users to create their own
electronic postcards, an application that is expected to
substantially cut into the traditional postcard-sending
market.
Themes (downloaded or pre-defined) can be exchanged
via MMS.
SMIL presentations
SMIL stands for Synchronized Multimedia Integration
Language and is pronounced “smile”. SMIL in the T610/
612 allows the user to the create and transmit
PowerPoint-style presentations on the mobile device.
SMIL is an advanced XML-based protocol, and Sony
Ericsson MMS supports a subset of this protocol. Using a
simple media editor, users can incorporate audio and
animated GIFs along with still images, animations and
text to assemble full multimedia presentations.
The idea of SMIL is to allow the user to customize the
page timing in PowerPoint-style presentations. The user
can decide in which order the image and text will be
displayed, as well as for how long the images and text
lines are to be shown in the display
