Download Free Games & Movies For Iphone by Jonathan Webster

Yes, you really can get free downloads of games and movies for your Iphone. If you're one of the lucky folks that has got in early and nabbed an Iphone already, you are definitely going to want to know how to get your hands on some of this free media.

Before you can download anything at all for your Iphone however, there are a few things you will need. You can't currently download directly to the Iphone, for one reason or another, so these items are a must.

The most obvious is a computer. It's pretty hard to access the internet without one and also you will need to store the downloaded stuff somewhere before you transfer it to the Iphone, right?

Secondly, you guessed it, some form of internet connection. This is probably the easiest part, as if you have a notebook or a laptop you can probably just sit in your local Starbucks and piggyback their wireless connection or something. As always, the faster the connection you can get, the better.

Lastly, and this is the thing most people forget about â€" you need to have the space to store all the stuff. The iphone may be pretty advanced but it's not bottomless â€" and it sure fills up fast once you have access to some free downloads.

Once you have all this stuff, (and let's face it if you are reading this article the chances are you already do) you'll need to find somewhere to download the free games and movies from. Most people at one point or another have used a file sharing or bit torrent site to get downloads, but it may surprise you to know that this is against the law â€" it's illegal to download things from websites like that in the most case, unless you already own a copy of whatever you download. Odd but true. Always check the laws and regulations in your own area.

There are a whole host of download sites for you to choose from these days, and they mainly work by charging you a one-off admin fee which then gives you lifetime access to their download libraries. The libraries are huge, with some having over 100 million files for you to look through. This makes it very easy to find your favourite TV show, or pretty much anything else you may be looking for. These sites are definitely recommended to get your free game and movie downloads from.

This article should give you a great idea of how to safely go about download free stuff for your Iphone.

To Download or Not To Download by Jonathan Webster

The dilemma facing many new Iphone owners is whether they should download games to play on it or should they just use the built in web browser to play online browser games. The biggest argument is the fact that there are far more games available to download than there is to play online. Read on for more information.

In most cases, if all you are looking to do is pass the time it can be worthwhile to just use the online games. Even if you aren't aware of them, it's very simple to find playable browser games - a quick internet search will usually reveal hundreds if not thousands of them.

This is obviously good news, but the downside is that the online games are usually inferior in quality to the games you would download. Also, you will need to be in an internet service area to be able to play them. This can cause problems if you are travelling on a bus or train or something, as the signals can easily be dropped in these circumstances, which means the game goes byebye!

On the bright side, downloading Iphone games does not need to be as expensive as you may first imagine. Granted, it can be expensive, but if you can find some of the better sites around, you'll find there's a wealth of games and things available for you to download for free.

This sounds great, but it can be a little dangerous if you aren't well prepared, so check out these guidelines first:

1-First of all, steer clear of the Peer 2 Peer or file sharing sites. Downloading from sites like this is illegal in many countries and territories, so if you do feel the need to visit them be sure to check your local laws and regulations. It's never been easier for the authorities to trace downloads etc, so don't break the law unless you want to go to jail.

2-Keep your computer safe- actively downloading files and games etc can be a great way to get it stuffed full of viruses and dangerous software, so it's important to make sure your security suite is up to date and working correctly. You won't be downloading anything if you ruin your computer!

3-The last tip is to be prepared to pay for access. Some of the better sites will charge you an admin fee before they give you access to their download database. This sounds bad, but it will give you access to their MP3s and movies as well as games, so it usually represents excellent value, as their libraries are large and your downloads are usually uncapped.

As you can see, downloading anything to your Iphone can be dangerous and can easily ruin your computer if you aren't careful. Hopefully these guidelines will help you stay safe.

Download Iphone Game Or Play Online? by Jonathan Webster

As an Iphone owner, you may or may not know that as well as being able to use the safari browser to play online, or browser based games as they are known you can also download games for the Iphone. Check out these tips for downloading games onto your Iphone.

First of all, your little Iphone is packed with more computing power than you may possibly realise. While browser games may be cool, they can often be a little basic, so you will need to download things to get the real cream of the crop.

The second point is to make sure and have a good look around some of the download sites. There are quite a few of them around now, and you can find the variety between them quite staggering. Also, one of the coolest things is that if you find the right sites, the game downloads will be totally free, which is obviously great.

Something else to consider is that some download sites can be pretty dangerous to your computer, because of viruses etc. If you are familiar with file sharing sites or P2P sites or whatever you want to call them, you may well have experience of viruses etc. This is because sites like this most often don't have any guidelines or regulation by the site owners or webmaster, allowing users to upload whatever they like. It seems cool to have this freedom at first, but it means that many of the sites are riddled with viruses and spyware etc.

As a final tip, always look for reports or reviews from a previous customer - it's very easy to make a site look all exciting and trustworthy on the internet, so looking out for someone else's experience with that particular site can be very helpful indeed - it can save you money in the long run and can even help your computer stay protected from virus and other nasty things!

You'll find that with virtually all of the worthwhile Iphone download sites, you will need to pay some kind of fee before you get access to the downloads. This fee is usually what helps them provide the free downloads in the first place, as it helps them cover costs and administration etc. It's not such a bad thing either, because the small fee in question will most often cover you for life, which obviously represents pretty good value.

You've now got at least a working knowledge of how to download games for your Iphone, so happy downloading and thanks for reading!

How To Put Movies On Iphone by Jonathan Webster

If you own an Iphone, you've probably already worked out how much fun it is to use it to watch movies-it has that nice big screen, and the sound quality is surprisingly good too. Now imagine if you knew how to download Iphone movies without having to pay.

As you may imagine, downloading Iphone movies for free can be very difficult unless you know exactly how to do it - not only that but you can get yourself into some serious trouble if you download from the wrong place. Use the following guidelines to help you avoid any problems.

1-Take the time to find a site you can trust. Hopefully your downloading relationship with this website will be a long and fruitful one, so it makes good sense to pick a site you can live with. A good way to find a reputable site is to ask around, or maybe search on the internet for some reviews or customer points of view.

2- Always keep in mind that many websites will be falling over themselves trying to get you to visit them. What's more, many of them won't be too subtle about it, so you'll be faced with a million popups in some cases, and in most cases it can prove very difficult to negotiate your way out of there. Generally speaking, you are usually better off just steering clear of sites with lots of popups like that.

3-Forget about using the torrent sites, P2P sites or whatever they are called these days. There have been numerous famous sites like this over the years, with several being taken to court etc. The simple fact is that downloading from sites like this is completely against the law in most places. If you do insist on getting your free downloads from somewhere like this, please be sure to check all applicable laws for your area, as people really do go to jail for things like this. Is it worth jail to get the new Matt Damon?

4-The last tip for downloading Iphone movies is to get ready to pay. There are a few new sites around these days that will give you access to huge download databases, and totally free downloads, but not before you pay their admin fee. This fee usually gives you totally free downloads, and sometimes it lasts for your whole life too, so it's pretty good value. As with anything, there are good and bad sites like this, so it's definitely worhwhile for you to look around before you take the plunge.

These tips can really help you build up quite a sizeable Iphone movie collection, but only if you are smart. Don't break the law, and make sure your computer is secure- happy downloading!

Can You Get Free Games For Your Iphone by Jonathan Webster

Are you one of the thousands of Iphone owners who has no idea that they can get free games for their Iphone? It's pretty cool to download things from Itunes, but with a little research you can find thousands of other places to download from -check out our tips below to help you find out where.

The Iphone is staggeringly popular, although it hasn't really come as much of a surprise - you only have to consider the Ipod as proof of Apple's dominance with such gadgets. If you are lucky enough to be one of the early Iphone owners, check out these resources to help you get some free Iphone games.

1-It's one of the most obvious ways to find anything these days, but a simple google search can yield excellent results when you are looking for places to get your downloads. The downside of this is that after a little while you begin to realise that many of these sites have a few things in common. The trouble is that the sites that make themselves the most accessible in this way are the ones that are simply looking to make money with their advertising. They get paid for you to click on their ads, so it's in their interest to drag as many visitors as possible into their site, and for this reason you'll find that many of them offer no real downloads at all.

2-There is a slight variation on the sites above, in that they will offer a couple of Iphone downloads, whether they be games or movies or wallpapers or whatever, but they will be very old and dated, and in many cases once you complete the download you'll find it doesn't work anyway. The point of this is, you guessed it, just to attract visitors who may then click on the advertising and make some money. Not exactly a noble business model, but I guess it works as there seem to be enough sites like that around!

3-The most obvious place for you to look when downloading just about anything these days is the torrent sites, peer to peer sites, or file sharing sites, or whatever they are called this week. I'm sure you know the ones-huge download collections, completely illegal to use, and yet it seems like everyone knows someone who has gone download crazy and downloaded huge amounts of things from there. Avoid these sites like the plague. It's illegal to use them in most places, and also there are usually a fair amount of viruses etc to be found within their databases. Not cool!

4-Your best bet for free Iphone game downloads, and just about anything else for the Iphone is the newer type of download site. A few of these popped up a while back for the Ipod, and it seems like they are following the trend with the Iphone. Basically, they work by charging and admin fee up front, and once you pay that you then have access to their whole download database. Not just Iphone games either, you'll find movies, games, tv shows, music videos and all kinds of stuff. Think of it like a version of Itunes where you pay one flat fee. Using sites like this usually works out far cheaper than something like Itunes in the long run.

Getting free Iphone games and other downloads can seem like a very far fetched idea, that is until you find the right places. Hopefully this article has helped you know where to look. Happy downloading!

How To Put Music Onto Your Iphone by Jonathan Webster

If you're lucky enough to own an Iphone, it's just about guaranteed that one of the first things you will want to know once you got it is how to put some music on it. It's a valid question, as what could be cooler than having all your music and movies in one place, not to mention an internet connection. Check out the rest of this article to find out exactly how to get the music onto the Iphone

It's generally taken as a given that with any Apple portable entertainment system, there are two ways to get music onto it-the first being from your existing CDs or MP3s, and the second being to download them from the internet. It's a little easier to get the music from CDs at this point, as it doesn't require any kind of internet connection etc.

All you need to do is obtain some "ripping" software to take the music from the CD and store it onto your computer (you can get free ripping software quite easily, just Google it). It's a simple process, and once done, Itunes will happily transfer the music onto the Iphone. It's not a tough process, and it's pretty fast too as modern rippers are much faster than old ones.

Obtaining music from the internet is a little trickier, but it's still pretty simple. The most obvious way, and the way used by most people is to simply connect their computer to the internet and use the Itunes software to purchase and download whatever music takes their fancy. It's then possible to "sync" the software with your Iphone or Ipod, and it will be updated with whatever new downloads have arrived. This is pretty much the given way of doing things, and while efficient it can be expensive.

An altogether more cost effective idea is to try one of the newer download sites that are emerging. It seems that Apple no longer hold the monopoly on such things, as there are numerous sites emerging which offer you lifetime music downloads after a one off flat fee, of usually something like $50. It doesn't take a genius to work out where the best value is!

You should now have a much greater knowledge of how to put music on your Iphone. There are a few different options to you, and like most things in life, each method will suit different people. The best thing to do is make up your own mind about which method feels best to you. Good luck!

Fm Radio For Iphone: Will There Ever Be Fm Radio For The Iphone? by Star Smith

By now everyone knows that the iphone is way more than just a cell phone, it's a multi-media communications and entertainment device. I mean, the iphone is not only sleek and beautiful in design, but it's loaded with the latest Web 2.0 interactivity.

The iphone is a cell phone with an mp3 player, a digital camera, real time video, Google Maps, photo storage, email and internet access. Gee, it seems like this smartphone has just about everything anybody could want, that is . . . except FM radio.

There used to be a time when the portable transistor radio was the only way a person could take their music with them wherever they went. Back in the day, this was a major attraction, because radio was king and everybody could get at least two or three stations whether they were sitting in the park, hanging out at the beach, or listening in while they were at work.

The problem with the old style transistor radio was that it wasn't very personable. Everybody could hear what you were listening to, which could be disruptive in certain situations. Then Sony comes along with the Sony Walkman.

Suddenly, we could all listen to our favorite music on cassette tapes while on the go. Actually, this was pretty revolutionary back in the day because most people had a decent collection of albums, but you couldn't listen to them anywhere but on your home stereo. The boom box was in, but that was big and cumbersome.

Sony made it popular to carry around a collection of select music, in a compact unit, that didn't rely on what your local DJ was playing on the radio. As the Walkman became more popular, the less convenient portable radios became a thing of the past - almost. Sony does make a portable radio that's pretty cool.

The lack of a radio on the Walkman personal cassette player is directly linked to the iPhone of today. There is speculation that manufacturers do not include radio on CD, mp3 players and the iphone due to technical restraints and wanting to keep the units compact.

However, if the iphone can access the internet, why is it so difficult to include radio access as well?

A multimedia device like the iphone should definitely include some kind of streaming FM radio service. Even though radio has been marginalized by mp3 downloaded content, there is still a large group of people who desire to have the option of listening to their favorite radio stations as well.

Apple does have iTunes radio that you can easily listen to on your computer. If you've been there, you know how great the selection is. We now have more access to radio stations than ever before, yet, we still can't easily get radio on our ipod or iphone.

Sigh.

I have to admit that there must be a practical reason why Apple did not include FM radio as part of the iphone applications, but so far, there's no explanation for this to the consumers.

Hey, but maybe there is reason to be hopeful that this feature will be added in the future. There's already a rumor that the next generation of the iphone may include an application that can stream FM radio. For now, our iphone FM radio dreams are just wishful thinking.

Mobile Phones - EU Cracking down Roaming Costs by Liam G

During the summer of last year the European Commission passed legislation that essentially put a "cap" on the amount mobile service providers could charge when their customers are "roaming" the EU.

Since then there has been an average price drop of 60% in charges made to customers who make and receive international calls.

With the new legislation in place, the highest providers' are allowed to charge is 34p/minute for making calls from a mobile within the EU, and 16.6p/minute for receiving calls.

Prior to the legislation some customers where paying as much as £8.30 for a mere four minute call!

The increase in competition now see's the average price at 21.9p/minute for calls made abroad and 8.7p/minute for receiving calls.

Another concern the European body has regarding roaming charges is the fact that calls are charged by the minute and not by the second. It has revealed that this could account for a 20% increase in call charges for the customer.

The EU body has said it is going to monitor this matter closely throughout year and by the end of the 2008 if the companies have not made any changes themselves it may pass further legislation.

Along with this they also intend to look into reducing the often vastly inflated charges that are applied to SMS texts and mobile internet use while abroad.

As there was a marked 10% decrease in call charges last year after the EU proposed it was going to pass legislation, it is hoped that this year will see similar results in terms of SMS and mobile internet charges.

Converting Nokia Ringtones To Work On Your Phone by Craig Thornburrow

Nokia ringtones are probably the most popular online these days. The problem is, not all cell phones are compatible with the Nokia format. So what do you do if you have a cell phone that does not support the Nokia ring tone format, but you'd still like to take advantage of some of the many popular Nokia ringtones?

In this article we will discuss a simple way to convert Nokia ringtones to other formats, so that they can be used by nearly any cell phone on the market. Because there are more Nokia format ringtones than any other type, this will enable you to have a much wider selection of ringtones to choose from for your non-Nokia phone. OK, let's get started.

Step one: every Nokia ringtone uses an RTTTL format string. You can download many of these Nokia RTTTL strings online by doing a simple search. Just find the string that represents a specific ringtone you want to convert.

Step two: search online for the "Uniring," universal ringtone converter. This handy little online software will convert nearly any format of ringtone to any other. When you arrive at the Uniring web site, simply copy and paste the RTTTL string for the ringtone you'd like to convert into the large text box in the center of the page. Be very careful to ensure that the RTTTL string contains no spaces -- it needs to be copied exactly as it is to function properly.

Step three: select a format that you would like to convert the ringtone string into. There are many options here, so just pick the one that represents the type of cell phone you have.

Step four: you will now receive a new code, representing the Nokia ringtone you selected converted to your phone's format. You will find full instructions on this page how to install the new ringtone to your phone, or even to transfer it via SMS.

And that's all there is to it. Once the Nokia ringtone is converted to your phone's format, you are free to use it just as you would any other ringtone made for your phone.

TIP: sometimes ringtones that are converted from the Nokia format to another phone's format will not sound exactly the same. For this reason, it is a good practice to always try to convert three or four ringtones at one time, just in case some of them come out sounding a little funny.

There are literally thousands of sites online where you can find inexpensive or even free Nokia ringtones. And because the Nokia ringtone format is the most popular online, you are certain to find nearly any song or other ringtone you can imagine by searching carefully on the Web. Of course there are also other brands of ringtones available as well, and these can also be converted to your phone's format just as easily as Nokia ringtones. This will give you a huge variety of ringtones to choose from for your non-Nokia phone.

Now that you know how to convert Nokia ringtones to any other format, it will be easy for you to find, install and experiment with lots of different ringtones for your phone.

What is Internet Telephony? by Van Theodorou

The question "What is Internet Telephony?" has answers that prove that the face of communications as we know it is changing. Today, the internet is not only a pathway for data transmissions. It is now also possible to make telephone calls over the internet, a technology which makes paying long-distance charges optional instead of mandatory.

So exactly what is internet telephony? Also called Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP), it is the technology that gives the ability to take an analog voice signal and translate it to a digital signal. That digital signal is then sent from one computer across the internet to the receiving computer, where it is reconverted to an analog signal that the receiver hears as the caller's voice.

Or, if only the originating caller has VOIP, they can still make a call using VOIP. The provider will route the call across the internet to the 'node' (local phone switch) nearest the receiver's location. Usually the caller has to pay a small fee for this service. By using the internet instead of a long-distance company's telephone network, the caller avoids paying any long-distance fees.

There are, however, variations to the answer of the question about what is internet telephony. Depending on what the customer wants or needs, their level of comfort with technology and their other telephony needs, they have a choice as to what kind of internet telephony service they select.

So when we consider the question of what is internet telephony, we must start with the basic VOIP technology and then look at the packages in which it is offered to the customer.

There are VOIP providers who provide both the internet (usually, broadband internet) service, local phone service with all the calling features the local phone company offers, plus the software and hardware needed to make calls. They usually charge equipment fees and monthly service fees.

Then there are those who provide only the VOIP service over your existing broadband connection, and equipment is optional. But if you have a PC with speakers, a sound card, a microphone and an internet connection, you can even purchase or download software that will allow you to set up your own VOIP calls, free of any monthly or long-distance charges.

Calming Public Speaking Jitters - It's Just Breathing, Right? by Jo Jameson

One of the things that we continually get wrong as adults is actually one of the most basic of all human functions - breathing. Have you ever watched a baby breath? Which part of their body moves in and out? Their belly right? Yet why do we as adults raise our chest when we breathe? By only breathing with our chests, we're only using a portion of our lungs. When breathing from our belly (or diaphragm, which is the muscle at the bottom of our lungs that pulls down to fully expand our lung cavity) we can take in much more oxygen.

I'm not sure where is goes wrong but at some point in our lives we forget how to breath properly and this can have a massive effect on our ability to speak effectively, especially to larger groups. To achieve enough air to project our voices sufficiently, we need to be breathing from our belly - just like a baby does. It's this extra air that allows us to speak with depth, and for a longer period before needing to take a breath. Stage actors spend a lot of time learning how to breath properly so that they can project to the back of the theatre, and as a public speaker, you need to do the same.

It can be tricky at first to identify where our diaphragms are and how to use them effectively. I've found the best way is to practice breathing lying on your back with one hand on your chest and the other on your belly. Practice breathing and notice which hand rises and falls. It will more than likely be the hand on your chest at first. Then try and breathe so that your other hand rises. With practice this will become much easier.

Studies have shown that breathing from your diaphragm has many other benefits apart from being able to project your voice. It helps to reduce stress - in fact, a few slow, deep breaths from your diaphragm can instantly reduce your blood pressure by a couple of points. It also helps to circulate more oxygen around your body and, by making sure your fully expel any remaining air in your lungs, will increase your energy levels because you won't be retaining so much carbon dioxide (the stuff that we breath out. Most of us don't fully expel all of this causing a build up in our bodies that can have a detrimental effect on our systems.)

So learning this simple yet incredibly powerful breathing technique can be hugely beneficial to you as a public speaker - and in other areas of your life where you may want to reduce life's stressful load!

Hardware and Software requirements for VoIP by Kristen Kiya

Voice over Internet telephony has changed the way we communicate. The innovative, flexible and scalable solutions have engineered a revolution of sorts in the present day world. The concept of virtual area codes can be mentioned in this context. VoIP users can opt for this service and select an area that is distinctly different from where they live. They can then enjoy facilities such as unlimited long distance calls to friends and family members living in that area code. This way, they are able to save money while connecting at different levels with the people who matter. This is another area wherein the VoIP solutions have scored over the traditional phone services.

Businesses can also make the most of this high-end technology and use it to their advantage. They can, for instance, think about enhancing their scope and areas of operation, by floating local numbers in potential markets. It is quite evident that they would be getting more leads due to the low costs of local calls. When the number to be called is a local one, more people from target market segments are expected to call in.

The point is that the VoIP market is more than ready for the best of products and services. The only thing is that certain conditions need to be met for the successful implementation of this innovative technology. For instance, a computer with a high speed Internet access is a must-have. The computer should be updated with audio and video codes. This ensures that the persons using the VoIP products and services are not disappointed with the quality of the audio as well as graphics. Another pre-requisite is that the digital video compression format should also be present in the computer that is being used.

Moreover, another important requirement is the telephone adapter, which is often delivered by the voice over IP service providers, as an integral part of VoIP packages. As a matter of fact, this VoIP hardware is indispensable for converting the household phone into one that can be used for making Internet enabled calls. Most important, the hardware and software of VoIP that are needed for the successful running of IP solutions have to be implemented properly through a proper procedure of software installation and hardware activation.

Quite a few service providers are currently present in the market which can help end users to get initiated. As a matter of fact, due to the many choices that are available, it often becomes difficult for potential users to zero in on particular service providers. In this context, a VoIP requirements list becomes indispensable. It is preferable that potential users should go for VoIP wholesalers or resellers that have established themselves well in this domain. The quality of services also becomes important in this context.

It is quite natural that potential users would want to get the most for the money that they spend. So, it is quite evident that they would check out the features and costs of the VoIP solutions and services on offer. They would then be able to match the same with their requirements and select solutions that best satisfy their needs. Certain parameters that need special attention include the financial stability of the company, the technical support that the company offers, and last but most important, the overall voice quality.

Choosing a Mobile Phone by Nick

Before you purchase a mobile phone it's important to consider how you plan on using it. Will you be using it simply for making calls and sending and receiving text messages? Or, do you plan on using your phone for business? If it's the latter, then your requirements will probably need to include the ability to access the internet and check emails etc.

Mobile phone technology is constantly improving and evolving, and you will find that many of today's mobile phones come equipped with a broad range of features as standard. Choosing a phone that caters perfectly for your needs can therefore sometimes be a challenge. So, before you take the plunge and sign up for a year's contract, here are a few things you might want to consider.

What type of user are you?
Basic User - if you plan on using your phone for occasional calls and text messages, then a basic handset will be more than adequate. Extras such as cameras are now common place on even the most basic of handsets. So even if you consider yourself a relative 'technophobe', you could still find yourself with a handset that is capable of doing far more than you really need. Although, people often find mobile phones that are capable of taking photos to be extremely useful.

Office - mobile phones have advanced greatly over the years with facilities that are beginning to emulate that of personal computers. There are now mobile phones available that cater perfectly for the business user. This means that no matter where you happen to be, you can always keep up to date with all the latest business developments.

A Cell Phone for Seniors by Christine Peppler

There are of course, many individuals over the age of 65 who are tech savvy enough and posses the dexterity to easily handle modern cell phones. However, for many others, cell phones are difficult to manipulate because of their tiny size and miniscule buttons, intimidating because of confusing commands and menus, difficult to see, or hard to hear. To make matters worse, many seniors simply want a phone to be a phone, and don't find the multitude of functions that cell phones have to be of use.

There are however, more viable options for seniors looking for a cell phone. A couple of years ago GreatCall, Inc developed a simple cell phone for seniors with the sole purpose of handling voice calls and messages; eliminating many of the functions and buttons that have nothing to do with this purpose. They developed the Jitterbug. The Jitterbug clears up confusing cell phone commands and menus by using basic yes/no questions instead. The Jitterbug cell phones even use a dial tone just like traditional land line phones and provide 24 hour operator assistance as needed. Jitterbug operators can assist in making calls, provide directory assistance, or even add names to a personalized phone list if necessary.

The Jitterbug cell phone models are a tremendous improvement over most models on the market for those with a loss of visual acuity. This cell phone for seniors has larger buttons, with larger print both on the buttons and on the screen. In addition, buttons are backlit, and screen brightness is greater than that on a traditional cell phone. The Jitterbug even offers an option for voice activated dialing to bypass the need for punching buttons altogether.

Jitterbug cell phones are also a good choice for those with hearing impairment as their padded ear cushion and clamshell design allows users to hold it more securely to their ear to block out background noise. In addition, the Jitterbug uses a powerful speaker and provides users better volume control to adjust to their individual needs. All Jitterbug cell phone models are also hearing aid compatible which reduces the interference that can occur between the electronic components of a hearing aid and a cell phone when in close proximity.

There are two Jitterbug models, one suited for those who truly want an emergency only phone and one for more routine use. The "Dial" possesses a numeric keypad giving the user typical calling and messaging abilities. For those with more limited needs the "One Touch" provides a button each for access to 911 services, the operator, and a direct dial button for single button dialing.

Jitterbug cell phones do not offer video capabilities, MP3 or camera functions, internet access, or many of the other features that many users desire. However, this phone is perfect for those who want a simple phone and is the ideal cell phone for seniors who long for something designed for many of their special needs.

What is Hot and What is Not in Technology for 2008 by Sharon Housley

Top 10 Winners Predicted for 2008


After looking into my crystal ball, I have made a cluster of predictions about what will be hot, and what will be not so hot in technology for 2008.


1. Video
YouTube has not shown any signs of slowing down. With the increasing popularity of portability and the increase of video-viewing technology, the growth of video is unlikely to slow down.


2. Healthy
Healthy is in. It is not only fashionable, but now cool to be healthy. Maybe this will help counter the rise in obesity in the US. Even those who give in to their cravings and indulge agree that it is cool to be healthy. Organic foods are at an all time high with an increase of roughly 20% per year in the US! This may also be a top New Year Resolution.


3. Long Tail
The Long Tail is still hot. Small businesses and big business are all attempting to capture the famed long tail.


4. Buy USA
Buying USA is in. The falling dollar has made US products more competitive in foreign markets. Moreover, the quality issues that came to light in 2007 (lead in various Chinese products) have made US consumers more conscious about buying US manufactured products.


5. Rich Internet / Interactive Web / Semantic Web / Web Services
The interactive web with user reviews, peer voting, and social bookmarking has never been more popular. The Internet has become more personal and interactive. Contextual content has given way to personal preferences.


6. Aggregate and Attention Data
Suggested purchases, related purchases, and recommended purchases are now an integral part of ecommerce. Aggregate data is becoming a critical component of upsells.


7. Power of the People
The collective voice and user-generated content is taking the Internet by storm. Yahoo Answers is a pristine twist on the collective voice; it allows visitors to answer questions from others. Good answers are rated and users are rated on a point-based system. Amazon's MTurk acknowledges the need for humans: pay people to do things that machines cannot. Surprisingly, in a technical society, people still have power.


8. Going Green
Going green has never been more popular. With environmental concerns becoming a global issue, saving the planet, protecting resources and living green is tantamount to being a responsible citizen. Venture capitalists are not turning a blind eye to the needs of clean green technology; alternative energy and green living are attracting interest from deep pockets.


9. Biometrics and Big Brother
Digital data and tracking is at an all time high. Privacy concerns appear to be taking a backseat to cool new technology that is likely to label the 21st century.


10. Prosthetics / Bionic
The revolution of evolution. The devastating limb injuries to soldiers is expediting the growth in the biomedical field of prosthetics. Huge advancements are being made, and super human limbs are a future possibility.


Top 10 Losers - What is Not Hot Predicted for 2008


1. Lead
Lead and harmful chemicals in toys is definitely out.


2. Squat Toilets
Squat toilets are definitely out! The Olympics in Beijing will likely westernize the East and introduce them to modern conveniences of the Western world.


3. DRM
Not much better than #2, digital rights management still has a number of issues to work out.


4. China
Between the claims of spying, rampant pollution and poor quality imports, China is on the outs for 2007.


5. Skinny is Out
Curves are in.


6. Blockbuster / Netflix
The future is downloading movies to iPods. Blockbuster and Netflix are likely to have a difficult time in the future. On demand video rentals available for immediate download offer compact portability and will cut into the current video rental markets.


7. Orbo
Orbo, the promised dynamic new energy source is going out. Orbo fell flat, with lots of hype and little to show. Perhaps Orbo will prove the naysayers wrong and make a splash in 2008, but for now Orbo is not hot.


8. MySpace fell to Facebook
Between perverts and conscientious parents realizing the risks associated with MySpace, the social network toppled. However, it was quickly replaced by Facebook, which promised a higher level of security (which is proven to be a fallacy). Facebook violated user privacy by sharing purchases with "friends", and with the addition of privacy controls, users are still leery. Social networks not only experienced growing pains but online threats are still an issue and privacy concerns are increasing exponentially.


9. Privacy
Stores tracking purchases, cars equipped with satellite tracking, cell phones tracked, and still few common citizens realize or acknowledge how much privacy they have lost over the last 20 years.
10. Piracy
For the first time it seems people are beginning to comprehend the effects of piracy in the software industry. It seems that software piracy may be on the decline and that software piracy is no longer considered cool.

Get More out of Your iPod by Megan Morris

iPods were a great invention. They make it possible for people to take their favorite music with them on-the-go. I personally like to take mine with me when I go walking. They come in handy when you are waiting at a doctor's office or for a friend, if you are permanently early like I am. I even got one of those adapters so I can listen to my favorite music in the car. But what I recently realized is that you can download other than just music! There are programs available where you can get not just music, but games, tv shows and movies for your iPod. You don't have to be bored with your iPod any longer. I placed a link on my webpage for a great program so you can get the most out of your iPod. And it comes with a lifetime membership so you will never get bored of your iPod again.

Nokia 5610 XpressMusic Mobile Review - Nokia Aims For The Walkman Phones by Brad Croften

Music players in phones have, since the introduction of the Motorola ROKR, become a standard feature across the board. What used to be something that differentiated one phone and manufacturer from another is now a feature that every phone put on the market (other than those that are "free phones if you sign up for a contract") seems to have.
Attempting to differentiate on your music player has, for the longest time, been akin to trying to differentiate your automobile based on the stylishness of your cupholders. With their 5610 slider-form factor mobile phone, Nokia manages to differentiate on the integration of the music player with the rest of the phone.
The key to this is a set of functions called the Navislide, which is used to control the musical functions of the phone with a single thumb-flick on the controls - the Nokia 5610's entire keypad is rather well designed, with the keys giving lots of good tactile feedback and a quick response curve. With the overall construction of the device, the entire package is nicely built - fits in the hand, can be used one handed easily, and it's nicely solid.
But back to the Navislide - if you've ever used an iPod thumb-wheel, the Navislide is like falling off a log. It's straightforward, and adjustable, and remarkably easy to use. Rock it left to use the music player, rock it right to use the built in FM radio, rock it up for the next track or station, or down for the previous one. It's a remarkably easy device to get used to.
That slider bar is also quite handy when using the menus for the other functions on the phone. First a note on the screen: It's a simple truism of how much these devices have matured as the market has grown; this screen would have been considered stunning and high end two years ago; it's crisp, bright and easy to read; the screen is QVA resolution, and quite good enough for watching video. (Indeed, the mobile has a small VGA camera for doing video telephone calls.)
The menu system is well laid out, with four configuration options available, and it's clear that Nokia is leveraging their development efforts into the System 40 operating systems well. The D-pad is fully user configurable, and gives you plenty of options for using the phone fluidly and easily.
As a phone, it's a full GSM/HSDPA 3G network phone, and can have its firmware updated wirelessly, no need to hook it up to a desktop computer. Its inboard contact system can store 2000 contacts, and there's full cut and paste between all applications on the phone. (In earnest, once you've used cut and paste on a phone, the next question is "Why did this take so long to get implemented?")
Lastly, the 5610 has an excellent 3.2 megapixel camera with an integrated LED flash and decent autofocus. While it's not going to make you give up your dedicated digital camera as a photography tool, it's more than adequate (and borderline overkill) for something to take quick snapshots. Again, Nokia's attention to the user interface makes the camera a dream to use.

The dot mobi domains and sites are about a year old by now and they are now just becoming popular. There is some discussion that they may exceed the .com names and other discussions that they may be like the biz and net; never really becoming important. But, my take on the subject; is that I fully agree with the self-confidence that the .mobi will become important. It may not exceed the .com but it is going to become the next generation online. Maybe I should say, offline; because the .mobi sites are specifically calculated for the portable cell phone and wireless users.

Learn How to Buy A Good Laptop Computer by Gary Hendricks

Can't decide which model of laptop to buy? How do you choose a laptop that will meet your computing needs and yet does not burst your budget? Choosing a good laptop computer can be very difficult. You are faced with so many models and specs that you don't know where to begin!
When buying a laptop, you need to consider factors beyond performance and weight. There are many additional things like screen dimensions, battery life, and keyboard and connection options which you have to think about.


Let's look at some of the factors one should consider when buying a laptop.


1. Processor

One of the first things you need to consider in a laptop is the CPU. The latest laptop CPUs include Intel's Core Duo and Core 2 Duo processors which outperform older single-core Intel processors (e.g. Pentium M). Other laptops use the AMD Athlon Turion 64 X2 dual-core processor - which is also a good performer. In general, however, if you're looking for a laptop, I'd advise you to look for one with an Intel Core Duo processor. You can also read this guide to find out more.


2. System memory

The amount of RAM in the laptop is very important. If you're not short of cash, my advice is to get at least 1GB of RAM - that is the minimum you need to get newer PC applications to run fast. Also remember that you can always add more memory to your existing laptop. You may be interested in this short guide on how to install new memory modules into a laptop.


3. Graphics memory

Laptop graphics are another feature you will want to consider. Typically, I'd say you should go for 128MB of dedicated video RAM. Also, ensure that the graphics memory is used solely for graphics use and not shared with the main memory. If you intend to play games on the laptop, then look for advanced 3D graphics chips with about 256MB to 512MB of dedicated graphics memory. Be prepared to fork out a lot more cash though.


4. Screen

You will also want to take a look at the laptop screen. Laptop screens have recently become bigger. Most of them have gone widescreen so you can watch movies or edit spreadsheets more comfortably. If you intend to use the laptop from home a lot, then I'd go for a 17-inch wide screen. If you are more concerned about portability or if you travel a lot, then laptops with screen sizes of 12.1 or 13.3 inches might suit you better. There are also 14.1- or 15-inch screens for laptops, but I believe manufacturers are shifting away from these models.


5. Battery

Here's another critical factor - laptop battery life. I personally find it very frustrating to have my notebook power run out after 15 minutes at Starbucks. What you need to do is to buy a laptop that has about 3.5 hours of battery life, running on a Core Duo or Core 2 Duo processor. Make sure you question the retailer on how long the battery can last - a short battery life is usually a deal breaker for me.


6. Keyboard and Pointing Device

Some people believe that the keyboard and pointing device on a laptop is important. If you have big fingers, you might be more comfortable typing on a larger notebook keyboard than a small one. Make sure you try the laptop out - get the feel of typing and navigation before you buy the laptop.


7. Optical drives

I'd usually recommend getting a laptop with a rewritable DVD drive as a minimum. One thing you need to know is that some laptops sacrifice a DVD drive in exchange for a lighter weight and portability. If you don't think you need a DVD drive all the time, then you might want to get a model that doesn't have one.


8. Hard drive

In the laptop hard drive department, what can I say? More is better. These days, you can get a notebook hard drives coming in sizes of 160GB or more. You can also get SATA hard drives if you have more cash.


9. Weight

Another thing to note is the weight of the laptop. Now, when you buy a laptop, always remember that the total weight includes the notebook AND the AC adapter, any external modules, and their cables. These can add up to quite a bit of weight.


10. Communications

These days, you will find that most laptops come with at least two USB 2.0 ports - I'd recommend that as a minimum. If you do a lot of video editing, then a FireWire (IEEE 1394) port also becomes essential. You should also check for good network capabilities. Make sure your new laptop has built-in ethernet capability, a built-in wireless connection and also built-in Bluetooth (if you need to transfer data between your mobile phone and the laptop). Some of the laptops also include card slots for removable media such as CompactFlash, Secure Digital and MultiMediaCard. If you take a lot of digital photos, then this feature might matter to you.


11. Laptop Shopping TipsWhew!

That sure is a long list of features to consider when buying a laptop. In addition to understanding the features, there are three important laptop shopping tips you should bear in mind.


Tip #1: How will you use the laptop?

One of the problems when you buy a laptop is that you pay for features you don't really need. One of the best ways to avoid paying too much is to consider how you will use the laptop. If it is mostly for word processing, then settle for a cheaper machine. If it is for gaming, then you need a more powerful one.


Tip #2: Think of features you will not compromise

You should also be aware that there are some basic features in a laptop you should NOT sacrifice. For example, for me, if I were buying a laptop, I'd choose (as a minimum) - an Intel Core Duo or Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM, 160GB of hard drive, a very small screen size and a super long lasting battery. Your list of critical feature may vary.


Tip #3: Remember you can pick and choose

Most vendors will let you custom-build your own laptop. This is a good thing, because you can just pick those features you need and not pay any extra. You can easily purchase a faster notebook by accepting a smaller hard drive or DVD drive, for example.


Conclusion

I hope this article has shown you that ins and outs of buying a laptop. Remember, a laptop is an expensive device. It will also be something you bring along anywhere you go. Hence, it is critical that you do proper research and find the correct laptop to suit your needs. Remember the above tips the next time you're in the market for a laptop, and happy shopping!
