Talk about innovative Products and services for your mobile – here are some
1) Mobile phone charger powered by dance energy
Shake a leg to recharge battery now!
When stuck in a field at a pop festival but there's trouble ahead because your mobile phone's battery is about to run out? Thanks to a new gizmo, you now just need to face the music and dance. Mobile phone operator Orange has teamed up with GotWind, a firm specializing in renewable energy, to produce a recharger powered by dance energy alone. The prototype chargers weigh the same as a phone and are about the size of a pack of cards. Attached to the user's arm, they employ a system of weights and magnets which provide an electric current to top up charge in a storage battery. This can then later be used to recharge the phone. Its an engaging and interactive product which would encourage users to have a laugh while charging their mobile phone and at the same time test out a new energy-efficient prototype
2) Free Coupons for eateries , malls , movies etc
8Coupons.com Founded by two kids in their rather roomy New York pad, 8Coupons endeavors to help New Yorkers save some of their increasingly precious dollars by gathering coupons and deals from businesses throughout the city. On the homepage are the day’s top 8 deals as rated by readers like you. Each coupon can be sent to your mobile, to a friend, or they can be printed and clipped for later use (just flash your coupons paper or electronic, to the cashier). If you refer your favorite biz and get them to post their deals on the site you’ll get $88 (remember to give them your personalized coupon code so they’ll get a month free and you get your well deserved cash). Soon to come—coupons from your favorite merchants sent automatically to your cell phone.
3) Send Gifts in a Novel Way
SK Telecom, South Korea's top wireless communication promotes an innovative way of sending gifts, a wireless gift coupon service branded as Gifticon.
Users may send presents to their loved or friends via short message services, mobile Internet services, or the Gifticon website, which, unfortunately, has content in no more than Korean due to its current strategy of focusing on the South Korean market. After choosing fun but inexpensive gifts, usually a cup of coffee, a movie ticket or a bottle of soda, and paying through credit or debit cards, the users complete the process and messages with e-coupons are delivered. Those who receive the messages can exchange the coupons with physical products at offline stores after authorization, the prevailing way of which right now is to scan the barcode on e-coupons
4) Mobile Q&A
Hiogi.com is the newest Berlin startup with a funny name and an innovative concept. It takes the question and answer format to your mobile. So if you’re out and about in the streets of Berlin or if you just want to know why whales are so fat when swimming is supposed to be good for your health (real question), Hiogi is there to save the day.

Nice post. It is always good to see people expressing themselves in different ways.
Since you seem to be associated with Management, I would like to suggest you a new magazine - PEOPLE MATTERS started by an ISB Alumni, which was suggested to me by a friend and which I have found very useful.
It deals with various important aspects of management, especially those related to Leadership & People Management.
It's also relatively cheap. I guess its annual subscription is about Rs. 400 (US$ 8 approx) which is even less than the cost of a standard Pizza.
Their last issue had an enlightening article by Robert Kaplan (the co-founder of Balanced Scorecard method, if you remember) where he talks about how organisations can create opportunities out of current economic downturn.
I got its subscription online through their website: http://www.peoplematters.in
If you like the magazine, kindly refer it to your friends or colleagues in the organization you work. They may be interested in subscribing to it.
Thanks
