Got an Iphone and want some new kick ass tunes, well it may have been some time since apple added the ability to create custom Iphone ringtones in Itunes, and yes whilst this is a major step forward it does have 2 limitations. First you can only create ringtones from content you have bought, which is suppose is kind of fair, second you need to pay 99 cents for each customer ringtone you make, Doesn’t sound a lot but it will soon add up read on and we can show you how to make the same ringtone quickly and easily.
Enter PocketMac’s RingtoneStudio this nifty little piece of software allows you to make your own ringtone from almost any audio or video file on your Mac’s hard drive and even better its so easy to use.The only limitation is that the files must not be DRM protected (the downside to Itunes). To create your own customer ringtone is easy simply drag and drop a song, sound or video (even quicktime compatible video) file onto the ringtone studio window, testing this functionality we managed to convert a wide array of files quickly and easily. The only limitation we found was the DRM-protected files
Once you have dragged your media file onto the application then PocketMac Ringtone Studio for iPhone allows you to crop the source into a much smaller file which can easily be transfered to your Iphone. The PocketMac's cropping tool allows you to grab just the right section of audio for your personal ringtone. Depending on the length of your ringtone you will get different options if the sample is less than 30 seconds long then Ringtone studio will automatically converts the whole file into and iphone ringtone and places it neatly in your Itunes ringtone collection. If the sample is longer than 30 seconds then you get the option to clip out which ever 30 second section you wnat, again once selected the ringtones will be placed in Itunes, hopefully in a later version you will be able to clip longer and shorter lengths but as limitations go it wont casuse you too many issues.
If most of the music on your Hard drive has been purchased from the Itunes store then you may not find this tool too useful, as DRM-protected songs can only be converted by Itunes (at 99c a go) . But if you have plenty of good music or videos then you can easily soon create a rather impressive range of ringtones for your iphone

The iPhone is becoming a more and more popular product on eBay, however, there are important things to consider when purchasing an iPhone on eBay.
When it comes to eBay it is always caveat emptor - buyer beware. This is true when you are looking to purchase iPhones on eBay as well. If you take measures to be sure that you know what you are buying, then you can get a really great iPhone deal. However, if you are not careful, you will be disappointed and possibly out of a lot of money. This is what you need to be aware of when buying iPhones on eBay.
First, know what you are buying and if you are not sure ask the seller before you bid. Some things to look out for are conflicting information between the title and the extended description. For example there was a listing for an unlocked 16 GB iPhone. That is what the title said. In the description is stated very clearly that this phone is locked but then went on to say that they are using it with T-Mobile, so it is clearly unlocked. The best way to resolve issues like this is to send the seller an email and ask for clarification. Save this email and the response you get so that if you are the winning bidder you have recourse if the iPhone is not as described.
Know the difference between unlocked and locked. Unlocked means that the firmware has been hacked and now you can insert any chip that will work on any networks. In the US the iPhone will work only on cell phone networks AT&T and T-Mobile. This has nothing to do with the chip and everything to do with the wiring. The iPhone will only work on the radio frequencies that AT&T and T-Mobile provide. The terms “unlocked” and “new, unopened box” are incompatible. You have to open up the box and hack into the firmware in order to unlock the iPhone. Apple does not ship unlocked iPhones.
Another thing to look out for when buying iPhones on eBay is to know if the phone is refurbished, new, or used. A refurbished iPhone is one that Apple (hopefully) has taken from not working properly to a like new state. This is a great way to get an inexpensive iPhone. However, an ethical seller will clearly state that this is a refurbished item. Les scrupulous sellers may not disclose this. If unsure, ask. New and used are self-explanatory.
Be alerted to the fact that there are phones that are similar in appearance to the iPhone but they are not iPhones. On eBay, you will see phones called A88, iPhone, PDA, etc. which are not Apple iPhones. Make sure that the manufacturer of any iPhone you purchase is Apple and not CECT.
Finally make sure that you are aware of the sellers return policies and only pay through PayPal using a credit card or pay directly with a credit card.
An educated consumer stands the best chance of getting a good iPhone deal from eBay but you must be careful.
The iPhone alone is an amazing device. But it is Apple’s App Store that’s made the iPhone truly revolutionary, by giving thousands of independent developers the ability extend and transform the device with their creativity for a fee of course.
Not even half a year old, the store has surpassed a milestone of 10,000 pieces of software available. The App Store has been charging for every little app it can from the beginning. However, you can now get unlimited iPhones apps here for no monthly fees at all just pay one low fee once.
But today, we’ve plucked out a list of 6 apps — from mapping software to games — that deserve applause for their quality, innovation and breakthrough achievements but most of all they are FREE.
6. Stanza
A book reader that grabs free titles from public domains, Stanza has soared in popularity — making the iPhone a worthy competitor to Amazon’s Kindle. And if those free books aren’t enough, Stanza recently expanded to incorporate a store to purchase commercial titles. The app did a good job pleasing Wired.com’s Charlie Sorrel, who modified his Moleskine notebook so he could embed his iPod touch in it. (That way, he could read e-books at the cafe while exuding an aura of pretentious artiness, instead of pretentious geekiness.)
5. SayWhere
You get used to typing on the iPhone after some time, but punching in addresses to look up directions is by far the biggest drag. DialDirections was the first to introduce speech-recognition capabilities to the iPhone with SayWhere, which translates users’ speech into queries for Google Maps, Yelp, Traffic or Yellow Pages. This app is great because it keeps drivers eyes on the road instead of on the virtual keyboard of their iPhone.
4. Shazam
Everyone’s familiar with this scenario: You hear a really catchy, unfamiliar song on the radio and you have no idea what it’s called. You hum it to yourself repeatedly and attempt to memorize the lyrics, only to forget it after slamming a few shots at the bar. Shazam will never leave you struggling to recollect these thoughts again: Hold the iPhone up to a speaker playing the unknown tune and the app will identify it — album, artist and song title — just like that.
3. TapTapRevenge
You’d have to be living on a different planet (or a retirement home) if you haven’t heard of Guitar Hero, the game that gets players to twitch their fingers compulsively along with the beat of their favorite songs. Developer Tapulous took the same idea to make an extremely addictive rhythm game called Tap Tap Revenge. Tapping blinking lights on a screen to catch tunes isn’t exactly the same as rocking out on plastic guitars and drum pads, but it’s still highly addictive. And Tap Tap Revenge is so popular it’s even offering the option to download new tracks to tap to, similar to Guitar Hero and Rock Band’s music stores.
2. Pandora
Whoa whoa whoa — free downloaded music on a portable device? You don’t say. This app is cool as hell on the iPhone as Pandora’s alternative music distribution made this happen. This apps will play that artist’s music as well as similar tunes you might like and you can add a station for any artist you like. With the wealth of new bands out there, what a better way to find new music?
1. Google Earth
When Steve Jobs called the iPhone “Your life in your pocket,” he probably didn’t expect Google to deliver the world in your pocket. Well, virtually. Displaying satellite imagery around the world in a 3-D globe, Google Earth is one of the most intense, mindblowing apps that truly shows off the powers of the iPhone. If you want to impress your grandmother with a demonstration of just how far technology has come since she was a girl, this ought to do the trick.
There are so many more apps for your iPhone available if you want to pay for each one individually. Or, you could download unlimited iPhone apps and pay only one low fee. Steve and the greedy ones at Apple do not want you to know this. Say thank you now. Check out unlimited iPhone apps here, you will not be disappointed
Iphone users are already used to having the latest gadgetry on there phone, just one look at the Iphone with its stunning features, a full screen Ipod, an easy to use Internet browser where you can get your emails almost instantly, support for Microsoft Exchange and GPRS (with support for Nike +) in fact its easy to forget its actually a phone as well. The new 3G Iphone is available in more languages and more countries than ever.
Getting a new ringtone for you Iphone is easy, and if you use Itunes then the selection is fantastic, well over half a million songs to choose from. With some great classics and all the current chart hits the only issue you’re going to have is narrowing down exactly what you want for your ringtone. The massive choice available from using Itunes and the fact that the ringtone once downloaded is yours to keep are a good enough reason but the price of just under $2 is another reason. Ok there are some free ring tones out there but there not as easy to get on your phone as ones on Itunes and for the sake of $2 That’s a pretty sweet deal for a ringtone you select yourself from a play list that spans more than half a million songs.
Making your ringtones isn’t difficult either; Itunes guides you through the whole process step by step (would an apple product do it any other way?) All you need to do is just select the songs from your library that are marked with the ringtone symbol. Once you see that, you are ready to create your thirty-second ringtone for your iPhone. With almost half a million songs to select from, its easy to choose a song that suits every person in your life , this is a great feature allowing you to set a different ringtone for each caller, that way you know without looking at the phone exactly who is calling (sometimes just so you don’t answer). Create custom ringtones for all the different people that call you. Have a special ringtone so you’ll know that your boss is calling, another for your girlfriend. This is a fun feature that will have you answering each call, knowing exactly who the person is right at that first ring.
Many people are now addicted to there Iphones, this feature rich device impresses on so many levels. The ability to be online, use their cell phone and have iPod technology right in the palms of their hands is so useful. This is a device you’ll you will never tire of using. Apple have certainly created a fantastic device and you know that over time this technology is only going to get better and better
The easiest way to create an IPhone application is to purchase software that is made for this purpose. If you can follow the prompts on a software package, you can create your own I-Phone application. This is the best way that you can get started with this process. An I-Phone application is called a widget. It is software that is relatively easy to create. You can go to Google and download software for creating Widgets and use that to create your application. You will create your I-Phone application by using software that you download to your own computer. The widget or application will be created on your own computer.
It is not difficult to get widget tools. You can get gadgets or widgets, both are on Google and Yahoo respectively. You can also get generic widget software to create your application. If you decide to create and distribute through the Apple site, you can download an application builder that gives you all of the tools that you need to create your own widget and get started with building the widget, debugging it and also distributing it. You will need to go through the debug step before you can upload your application to your Apple account.
If you are very tech savvy, you might want to create your own application by using basic internet tools. You can download free tools that will enable you to create your own applications. Many of the applications for the I-Phone are internet related. By working with a site and basic IPhone technology skills, you can create an I-Phone application. If you can build a widget, you can make money on it by selling it outright on your own website, without having to use the Apple site.
You can get free IPhone application software by looking for web software that you can download for free. The same software that can be used for web design and other web applications on your computer can be used to make applications for your I-Phone.
If you have application creation software for your website, you are all set. You should create the application on your own computer website and then download it to your I-Phone. Creating applications for the I-Phone are just like creating anything for a website.
If you do not have a website, you should get one. Whereas it used to be very expensive to have a website designed years ago, much has changed. There are many web applications out there that will help you design your own website. You can also download applications for free. If you have a website, chances are that your hosting site will have tools that you can use to not only create your site, but also to create applications for your I-Phone. You can download the applications that you create on your computer to your I-Phone just as you would download any other application. You can choose to use the application for yourself, or you can also choose to distribute it to others.
There are various web tools that you can use for free online. You should look for web tools that are both PC and Mac compatible. Just as the I-Pod is compatible with both PC and Mac users, you should be sure that the tools you use are compatible with a Mac product.
Creating applications is not difficult. Once you understand how to use software that can create the applications that you want, you can usually find tutorials online. Make your first application an easy one, such as a feed from a local news site. This will give you a general idea of the basic components of the I-Phone application.

There are so many wireless headsets to choose from. What makes them worth the sometimes-steep price tag? Many companies, small and large, rely on headsets to keep their businesses running efficiently. Innovations in ease of function and clarity of sound can make the choice difficult. Staying within your budget may mean settling on a product that is good enough, even when higher-end headsets may be very tempting.
Wireless headsets were first introduced in 1996 with the first analog wireless headset. By the year 2000, digital models of wireless headsets started appearing on the market. One feature that has made it easier to do business is the noise cancelling microphone which makes for clear communication with clients even in a noisy or open office setting. WiFi friendly DECT 6.0 techology also provides interference free conversation and 64 bit encryption adds security to confidential business conversations.
Headsets come in many different styles for wearability as well. The original over-the-head headband style still offers sleek designs and optimum comfort. You can also find behind-the-neck versions, but the most of common design now is the over-the-ear loop style as in the Bluetooth mobile phone style.
Mobility and flexibility are available in multi-function headset systems. Some newer models can switch between land line phones and PC telephony via VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) software systems. This goes through a USB port on the phone base. When functioning as a land line phone, the range can go up to 350 feet away from the base with some systems. Some can even switch to mobile phone mode and be taken out of the office just like a Bluetooth cellphone. These usually have a 9 to 12 hour talk time before recharging is needed.
The top of the line systems offer the highest clarity, multiple functions and flexibility. Which one will meet your business needs?
