Vringo today announced the availability of a beta version of its innovative Facetones application on iPhone devices through the App Store. Vringo’s Facetones™ application is designed to deliver a fun and visually exciting social update to a phone each time a user makes or receives a phone call.

The Facetones app displays a full screen photo of a user’s Facebook friends‘ pictures whenever the user is called or the user calls them. Facetones will initially connect with Facebook, the world’s leading social media site, providing for a significantly enhanced mobile experience for people who use social media as a means of communication. Vringo expects to integrate Facetones with other social networks and photo sites in the near future.

The App Store is one of the most well-recognized app stores in the world, responsible for over 10 billion mobile application downloads to date. The App Store is accessible from the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad via an iOS application by the same name. To view Vringo’s Facetones™ application on the App Store, please visit:
