Dreamstime enters cellphone wallpaper market

A press release was made on Thursday announcing Dreamstime was partnering with Boom Bucket to supply wallpaper to mobile phones.

The release and Dreamstimes website was short on details as to how this will actually work but I ahve always thought that cell phones where an large untaped market. You just have to look at the back of most weekly magazines (in the UK)that target teens/young adults to see that the market is taking off.

I will add more details as I find out.

Global Microstock Agency Enters Telecommunications Arena

Brentwood, Tennessee, May 31, 2007.
