How to Turn Your iPhone Into the Ultimate Gadget By Doug Harvey

How to Turn Your iPhone Into the Ultimate Gadget
By Doug Harvey

Instead of stuffing your pockets with a collection of gadgetry, how would you like one single device that did everything? What if I told you that it did not matter what your situation was in life, a student, a housewife, a businessman, this device (if you could afford it), would work for YOU? Enter the Apple iPhone. The iPhone contains all you need within one sleek unit - a device considered to be an icon in mobile PC technology. A mobile phone with attitude and up to 8GB of memory.

You don't just get a beautiful looking piece of technology when you buy an iPhone, you also get access to many downloadable applications to extend its use even further. There are no buttons - no keys. It is all done on screen. A liquid crystal display provides for touch screen technology with an anti-scratch surface. Mobile technology literally at your fingertips.

So what can this lean machine do for you? What hides beneath? The iPhone is an entertainment system with film/video, games, internet surfing, it incorporates a camera and through personalization becomes the instrument to suit the user rather than the user having to adapt to use it. From a more businesslike perspective, it incorporates text messaging, email and visual voicemail. It's WiFi internet connection just needs a hotspot or GPRS and you are free to make full use of internet services.

Although in no way being negative about the versatility and productivity power of the iPhone, there are currently two distinct disadvantages in the design. One is with regard to the battery and the other to memory slots - or lack of them.

If the battery needs charging, you cannot simply use a charger into your wall socket. You have to send the entire iPhone back to Apple and (unless it is still under warranty) pay a fee to have it replaced and cover the postage. Apple are working on this, but at the time of writing, no official method is available. There are independent battery kit replacements but they involve a technical approach rather than just slotting another battery in or providing a way to recharge the existing one.

The other issue is that you cannot add memory. There are no slots to do so in the original iPhone.

With an almost eerie intelligence and without the use of GPS hardware, the iPhone is able to track its own location utilizing signals from mobile phone masts and WiFi networks. The later 3G model has A-GPS built in but still makes use of the same system only with more accuracy.

All in all, if you want more space in your pockets and still have the capability of your gadgets, an iPhone just might be your ideal purchase.

This is just one of a wide range of articles written by Doug Harvey concerning the iPhone and the iPhone 3G. Feel free to drop by at http://www.lifesight.net/iPhone for more.

Sirius XM Radio Coming to iPhone By Bob Maines

Sirius XM Radio Coming to iPhone
By Bob Maines

News reports have been circulating of the potential that a new streaming radio application will be available soon for the Apple iPhone. Sirius XM Radio subscribers with Internet radio subscriptions will be able to receive their favorite streaming radio channels without the need for a satellite radio. This application has been long awaited by satellite radio subscribers and could potentially boost Sirius XM Radio's subscriber base.

After the merger between the two satellite giants XM Satellite Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio took place many subscribers have been concerned about the need for new satellite radios. Although this concerned has been unwarranted due to Sirius XM Radio's release that existing radios will continue to work the potential has prevented some radio listeners from making the leap to satellite radio. This streaming radio application for the iPhone could put some of those fears to rest and increase the number of subscribers to Sirius XM Radio Inc.

The Apple iPhone is a dazzling device that is still making waves across the country and can provide listeners with the personal radio options that they crave from Sirius Radio such as exclusive content from Howard Stern and Martha Stewart or exclusive sports coverage from SIRIUS NFL Radio and SIRIUS NASCAR Radio while providing listeners with a way of switching over to their favorite MP3s.

Sirius XM Radio subscribers that are looking for a solution in their vehicles will want to consider a satellite radio for the best coverage possible including clarity and channel choices that may not be available in the Internet channel lineup. The majority of vehicles on the market today come equip with Sirius XM Radio capabilities. The streaming radio application expected for the iPhone would not be suitable as a vehicle solution.

Office workers and bus or train commuters will enjoy the ability to connect to the Internet using their iPhone while tuning in for the work day or long ride home to hear their favorite stations and artists. The Sirius Stiletto 2, a Sirius satellite radio, has the benefit of recording programs, artists, and sports games to listen to at a later date. There is no word whether recording capabilities would be present in the new application. Internet subscribers to Sirius Internet Radio currently do not have that capability. For users looking for recording functionality the Sirius Stiletto 2 would still be the best solution for satellite radio.

Sirius XM Radio offers over 200 radio channels of various content including multiple music stations that are 100% commercial free. Subscribers have a bountiful selection of sports programs, news radio, and talk shows available including some family programming and classic radio programs alongside a variety of International stations. There is something for everyone ages 5 to 75 on Sirius XM Radio.

HughesNet is capable of delivering a high-speed Internet connection up to 50x faster than dialup and is available throughout North America.

You'll find free installation, blazing fast speeds and all the benefits of fast Internet.

iPhone Tips and Tricks - Get the Most Out of Your iPhone Experience By Chris Prato

iPhone Tips and Tricks - Get the Most Out of Your iPhone Experience
By Chris Prato

All of us folks who are lucky enough to already have an iPhone know how much fun they can be just to play around with. Playing with my iPhone a lot myself, I have discovered some cool tips and tricks that you may find useful.

1. If you tap once at the very top of the screen when you are on the internet, it will take you back to the top of the window rather than having to scroll all the way back up. A nice time saving feature.

2. If you set the font to the smallest size, you can read more in the internet window. An advantage of this is that when you want to click a link, you can pinch (expand) that area and the link will come up very large, making it much easier to click.

3. Rather than posting the full address of internet sites in bookmarks, you can post the equivalent RSS address instead into Apple's RSS reader and save that as your bookmark. This way you can quickly see if there's anything interesting on your favorite site rather than downloading the whole homepage.

4. If you are writing something and the iPhone flags a word as misspelled that you know is not misspelled, cancel the correction 3 times and the word will be put into the dictionary. If you write a lot, this feature is quite useful!

5. The magnifying glass is a nice iPhone tool when you are typing an email or any other text. If you tap once and hold, a magnifying glass will pop up showing you a zoomed in view of your words and cursor. You can now easily place the cursor wherever you want. This makes editing your writing very easy.

6. You can move icons around, but not on the home screen. You have to go to the ipod section. Go to iPod > More > Edit. Now you can drag your icons all around. This can also be done in the phone section.

7. To reset your iphone, hold down the right button and the "home" front button for about 6 seconds. To power it back on, push the top button. This is different than a regular shutdown, which can be done easily by holding the sleep/wake button for 6 seconds.

8. If you get a lot of spam e-mail or other unwanted e-mail, pay attention to this time saving feature. Add a link to Yahoo mail in Safari bookmarks. From there you can check 'delete all' to remove all unwanted e-mails. This is much easier than deleting hundreds of spam e-mails one at a time.

If you want to be able to download all sorts of music and movies for your iPhone, check out my other article about iPhone Download Sites.

I hope you found these iphone tips helpful. If you have an iPhone and have been wondering how best to fill it up with music and movies, check out Top iPhone Downloads for the latest reviews of iPhone download sites.

iPhone Downloads - 10 Tips on Finding the Best iPhone Download Site By Chris Prato

iPhone Downloads - 10 Tips on Finding the Best iPhone Download Site
By Chris Prato

The iPhone is finally here! As a result, many free download sites have popped up that allow for downloading copyrighted material. It is best to avoid these sites as I am sure you do not want the authorities knocking on your door.

However, there are iPhone download membership sites that provide an excellent alternative to itunes. The problem is determining which of these iPhone sites provides the best service. Here are some tips to help.

1. Per iPhone Download Fee vs. One-Time Fee

Many iPhone sites will offer free membership, but then charge you for each file you download, 99 cents or $1.99. If you love your music as much as me, this can get expensive very quickly. Sites that charge a one-time fee are the way to go. You will save a lot of money in the long run.

2. iPhone Music Download Variety

It is true what they say: Variety is the spice of life. You probably want to find an iPhone download site that offers files from all genres of music.

3. File Selection for Movies, TV, and other Media

Having access to a lot of files is perhaps the most important thing to look for if you want to get your money's worth! Fortunately, most iPhone download sites have overwhelmingly large databases, in the range of 100,000,000 files. (That is one-hundred million files!) Also, make sure the site you are looking at offers music, movies, tv shows, games, and software, not just music. Remember, we are trying to get the most for our money!

4. Website Interface

This is an important feature because the easier a website is to navigate, the easier it will be for you to find what you are looking for. Although you cannot see the member's area until you sign-up, you can get a good idea just by browsing around the non-member's area of the site.

5. Free iPhone Software for File Compatibility

A quality iPhone download site should provide you with free software to help you in downloading those movies and mp3s. They should also provide free converting software for files that need to be converted to play on the iphone.

6. Fast iPhone Download Speeds

Does the site offer fast download speeds? Some sites with small servers will put a limit on download speeds in order to allow more people to connect. Look for sites that do not have any such limits.

7. Safety of Files

When downloading anything off the internet, there is always a risk of the files being infected with spyware, adware, or viruses. The best iPod download sites will screen all their files before you download them. Additionally, you may want to have adware scanning software on your computer before you sign up. This is a great back-up just in case any corrupted files slip through the cracks.

8. Reputation

Does the iPhone download site have a good reputation? You can judge this by the credentials they list on their site and through various iPhone related forums.

9. 24/7 Customer Support

Customer Support is a very important thing. The best iPhone download sites will have an extensive FAQ (frequently asked questions) section that covers most common questions. However, don't hesitate to contact a site with a question to determine how long it takes them to respond and in what manner. They should respond to your inquiry within 24 hours. If not, you may want to consider another service.

10. Secure Payment Processing

This usually is not a problem, as most online merchants accept payments through Paypal, Clickbank, or another trusted source. With these companies, you do not have to worry about anyone reading or accessing your personal information.

Unlimited iPhone Downloads - 5 Tips to Pick the Right Download Site By Davion Wong

Unlimited iPhone Downloads - 5 Tips to Pick the Right Download Site
By Davion Wong

iPhone owners are the proudest techno owners of the latest technology gizmos. It is not surprising that they are looking for unlimited iPhone downloads to load their gadgets. After all, with an 8GB flash drive and battery life that allows for video playback of up to 7 hours and audio playback of up to 24 hours, you can listen to music on your phone for a long time. So here we are with 5 cool tips to pick the right download site for unlimited iPhone downloads.

Always do some basic homework first and look around for great deals. If you own an iPod, then you would be glad to know that several download sites also provide music, movies, videos and game downloads for iPods as well. So you get a 2-in-1 combo deal when you download your iPhone music and movies there.

1. Price of the Downloads - Free, Paid Per Membership or Per Download

This is important. There are many sites that offer so called free iPhone downloads. My advice is to avoid them all together. Why? There have been complaints from users about spyware, adware and virus exposures when downloading from these sites. The free services would require you to install client software and in the process, these harmful applications get onto your computer, resulting in slower PC performance.

Paid membership sites on the other hand charge you either for per download or a lifetime flat fee. Go with the lifetime membership services. You get unlimited iPhone downloads of music, movies, games, videos and software for a small nominal fee of less than $49 in most instances.

2. Selection of Media Files

iPhones are great not only as a communications tool but also as a digital portable player. There are membership services that offer you more than just music files. Top sites often also provide movies, episodes of TV shows, videos, music videos and even games. Do check the site to ensure that you are getting unlimited iPhone downloads with the most frequently updated services.

3. Ease of Use

The site must be easy to navigate around. You do not want to spend hours figuring out how to download music for your cell phone. Ready guides with concise step by step instructions must be available as well as a user-friendly download environment. They should also provide downloading software as well as file format conversion software for free so that certain files can be converted to iPhone-compatible formats.

4. Fast Download Speeds

Some download sites are speedsters while others crawl like snails. Since you are paying, why not get the quickest download speeds? If not, what is the use of having unlimited iPhone downloads when it takes forever to access them?

5. Technical and Customer Support

Make sure you go for services with excellent after-sales technical and customer support. This is important since many services often paint a nice picture before sales only to offer poor support after that. Fortunately, there are several top services that do perform well in this aspect.

These are the tips that would come in handy when you go shopping for a download site to download music, movies, videos and games for your new toy. Short cut the whole shopping process and read a review of where people are going for unlimited iPhone downloads for their iPhones at my music blog.

iPhone Movie Downloads - Where to Download For Dirt Cheap Prices By Davion Wong

iPhone Movie Downloads - Where to Download For Dirt Cheap Prices
By Davion Wong

iPhone movie downloads are selling like hot cakes now. With the new iPhone emerging on the market, hundreds of thousands of the new phone-cum-iPod are sold overnight. This also means that all of a sudden, there are the same numbers of owners wanting to lay their hands on iPhone movie downloads for their new gadgets.

Where are the folks going for the iPhone movies?

iPhones come in two versions, the 4 GB and the 8 GB models. A movie is typically 700 MB in size, so for a 4 GB model, it can easily store one or two nice movies. Not much very compared with the iPod but still, we must remember that it is first a phone then an MP4 player. Whichever the case, people are still interested to download iPhone movies for a cheap price.

iTunes, the parent site of course is a natural place to think of when looking for iPhone movie downloads. But with so many competitors nowadays as well as conversion software around, these online movie stores like Walmart, Amazon and so on are giving it a run for their money. Prices can range from below $10 to higher prices depending on the agreements they have worked out with the movie studios.

The next favorite places to feed your iPhone with iPhone movie downloads would be the paid membership services. These services run on a subscription basis. For a fee of less than $49.95, you can practically enter the site and download as many movies as you wish. Many genres, classics and the latest blockbusters are available for the price of one DVD. You get to keep and watch any full length DVD quality movie once you have paid a flat-fee and never be billed per download.

Certainly, looking at the various options, it is clear that many are flocking to these movie sites that offer lifetime membership to download movies for their iPhones. The trouble is, with dozens of choices, it is hard to pick the right one.

Save yourself the trouble and read up some tips at my iPhone blog to select the best site for your iPhone movie downloads.

How to Market Your iPhone App By Neal Adam Hamou

How to Market Your iPhone App
By Neal Adam Hamou

The iPhone is quickly emerging as the premiere wireless smart phone device in the U.S. Most recently it has added to its efficiency with the 3G connectivity feature and a more robust battery life, bringing even smarter phone users to date. For this reason the apple iPhone app market has soared. I have found it incredibly hard to avoid the latest commercial in which the use of an iPhone app was implemented to find a restaurant by food preference.

Marketing an iPhone application seems like it would be as easy as putting out a brochure in the mail. But if you have tried, it may not have appeared to be that easy. So these are some of best thoughts on possible ways you might want to market your iPhone apps.

Find your audience

What type of people will use your product? How does your product fit the needs of apple iPhone users? Is it unique in its creation or an alternative or improvement to already existing apple iPhone software applications? Do you know if your product would be popular with a certain apple iPhone user demographic?

There are forums in which iPhone users dwell. Try plugging into discussions between users. They might provide you with information on what programs are needed and what existing programs don't work. Use these forums as focus groups examining what the needs and benefits they look for from application. Pick the brains of the users. You might find out additional information on user demographic also.

Check the competition

The Apple iPhone is not without competition, see what the competition is offering and create an application of similar usability. If you have an application already created, market that application in apple user forums and other smart phone user forums as an alternative to any similar programs used by the devices. You should also contact top authoritative iPhone sites and consider advertising your application. You must remember to treat your application just like you would any other product you sell. Just because it is a digital product doesn't mean that you don't have to market it as heavily.

Get Social

Social networking sites are also great promoters of new applications. You can create a page and promote your application. Get a lot of people interested in your iPhone apps through advertising on your page, joining groups that might have an interest in what your software provides. MySpace has a bulletin feature that let you send mass bulletins to subscribers of your page and as well as the subscribers of the groups you have joined.

Blog

Out of all the suggestions mentioned above I have found this avenue the most controlled way to market anything. The current craze is blogging. It's like a forum but it gives you a way to ask your audience questions and provide them with answers. It gives you insight on customers needs and provides you with information useful to improving and marketing your products quicker. The grass root appeal is the new marketplace for anything you want to sell. You are able to address objections and develop the ground work necessary for moving your customers toward your product. Some of the best iPhone apps have been discovered this way. The market for the best iPhone apps is growing in tremendous gains, with a little creativity and market study you can be a part of this growing industry.

iPhone Music Downloads - 7 Tips to Find the Top Service for iPhone Music By Davion Wong

iPhone Music Downloads - 7 Tips to Find the Top Service for iPhone Music
By Davion Wong

iPhone owners are getting excited about loading their new gizmos with iPhone music downloads. After all, the phone-cum-digital portable media player can store up to 100 songs easily and allow a playtime of up to 24 hours of audio. This article will show you 7 hot tips to find the top service befitting of your new toy when it comes to iPhone music downloads.

1. Free or Paid

Freebie seekers probably would argue with me on this. There is nothing wrong with wanting free iPhone music downloads. Who doesn't anyway? But the trouble is that free websites that give you music for free are often associated with exposure to viruses, spyware and adware when downloading media files there. Our phones are too new and precious and to risk exposing them to these harmful elements is a No No.

How about downloading each iPhone song for $0.99 or more at online music services like HMV, iTunes and so on? People wouldn't mind if it is only one or two song. But if we are going to load up at least a 100 songs or soundtracks, this is going to be expensive.

There are now services that offer a lifetime membership for a flat fee of lower than $49.95 to access unlimited iPhone music downloads. These are the real gems!

2. Variety & Size of iPhone Music Library

Music lovers probably have their preferred music. You may not like pop but to another, pop may really sound heavenly. If you love all kinds of music, go with the services that offer multiple genres from Rock, Hip Hop, R&B, Classical to many unheard music genre. Several top sites now offer over 100 million media files including music videos, TV shows and even movies and games.

3. Download Interface

This is a key feature that must not be overlooked. For easy navigation, the interface must be simple to use and does not take long to search and find your music files. One way to get a rough idea is to see how professionally done the site is and to read comments of existing users.

4. Software Applications for Download and Conversion

Several of the more established services are providing free software applications required to download iPhone music as well as movie and video files. They also provide the conversion software needed to convert movies and music file formats into iPhone-compatible formats. The top services also offer you a free DVD conversion software that transfer movies from DVDs to your iPhone.

5. Fast Downloading Speeds

Make sure that the download speeds are fast. Music file sizes are about 3-4 MB per song. Assuming you are downloading 20 songs at a go, the service must not limit your bandwidth usage by slowing down the speed. This is what some poorly run B-grade services do.

6. Safe Download Environment

Some services do not provide good secured environment with a high level of security and safety when you download iPhone music downloads. The last thing you want to worry about is adware, spyware and viruses that could make their way to your computer because the music store refuses to buck up on its system architecture.

7. After-sales Customer Care and Support

Many services just want to make more money. While they promise a 24/7 technical support to entice you to join them, they are hardly around when you need them to help troubleshoot when you face difficulties. Thankfully, there are a few reputable ones who can deliver an excellent level of after-sales service.

Look around and use these tips to find a good service for your iPhone music downloads. Want to know which services score well in every aspect mentioned? Read up my iPhone blog.
