Time Warner’s Cartoon Network has plans to launch CallToons, reports Reuters. The idea is to have ringtones based on voices from popular cartoons, sort of like voice tones, which is nothing new. However, Cartoon Networks will also have the Calltoons anthropomorphise the phone by signalling everything from new voice mails to low-battery alerts, something Cartoon Networks claims is new and original enough to file a patent on…”It has filed a patent for the technology, which it says is the first to respond in real time to the state of the phone and the behavior of the user. The company aims to eventually license the technology to other media outlets.”
