The market for cell phone software, ringtones, podcasted audio and video, and myriad other files, photos and games is wide open and ready for smart marketers to pounce on for major profits in a relatively brand new industry.

To date, you can only buy and download one sales and marketing related ebook at Sprint.com, out of about ten selections for your Blackberry PDA Cell Phone. The other selections? The Bible and a bartender software.

The market is truly in its infancy. Moving now on this market will be a cash cow for smart marketers looking for fertile ground for increased profits. If you are not actively seeking out spots in podcasting and PDA software market, you are losing money as we speak.

When I bought my Blackberry, first thing I did was go to add-ons and third party applications to get cool stuff to put on it. The selection was miserable. After downloading an ebook on marketing, there was nothing left for me to purchase.

Many people will feel same way until they are given real choices in software and information they can purchase as add-ons to their new toys.

To discover a glaring void in market size of this one is unheard of in this day and age. For marketers who seize its potential and start actively supporting market with choices, sky is limit for increasing reach and profits.
