Spotify, the trendy music on demand service that has garnered tremendous media attention in Europe, has finally launched in the U.S. as rumored last week. Spotify announced earlier this month that it would become available in the U.S. “soon,” though open negotiations with Warner Music Group were reportedly preventing the company from setting a firm launch date. Apparently Warner finally came around.
Dataviz, well-known for their Palm OS Software re promising to bring MS Office editing to the iPhone via their new app, DocumentsToGo. The app will be demoed at the Mobile World Congress which runs February 16-19 in Barcelona. The app will also run on Android.
Pricing information has not been released, but the app for Palm OS runs $89.99 in its fullest form, with two lighter version at $49.99 (doesn’t support Outlook on that version) and $29.99 (missing a ton of features, like Mac-created doc support). It’d be interesting to see if they stay at that price point or try to go lower – they really have no competition in this arena.
The closest competitor at the moment is MobileFiles Pro by Quickoffice, which only allows for editing of Excel files, and reading of other MS Office documents. That app sells for $9.99.
Remember that yesterday i’ve presented you Crackulous Scam On Twitter ? Well… new day , the same story. But this time is not about Crackulous , its about Installous. It’s the same page, but not the same domain name. Same price, same paypal address. PLEASE DO NOT BUY IT!!!! What’s next, Cydia?
As of right now Installous is not free. You may come across websites that claim to have a free version of Installous but these versions have viruses which log all your information including passwords, phone numbers, contacts, and send it to people so it’s best to stay away from these shady copies. A lot of hard work and development went in to making this brilliant application. It would be unfair if it was given for free. Right now this application costs only $10 for a limited time and this is a GREAT BARGAIN so buy it today from the Buy Installous page. Later it will be going up to $20. This application is in hot demand.
My friend, Pavel Egorkin, from iSoftcom just emailed me and told me they got a big sale going on. They’ve dropped the price for mySMS secure version from $24.95 to $12.50.
This is a guest post by iRoc, and today he is going to fill you in on one of his most favorite apps : Jaadu! 
What exactly is Jaadu and why would I need it, You might ask. Well, let’s say you are at work and you need a file, but that file is on your computer at home. You could call home and try to talk someone through navigating to the file and sending it to you. Oh, but that almost always is a head ache at best. Wouldn’t be great if you could just get in touch with the Enterprise , and teleport back home and get the file? No Jaadu is not about to save you thousands on travel expenses or make your daily commute magically disappear. Though Jaadu was formerly known as Teleport, and it’s the next best thing to a real deal teleporter.
Jaddu will allow you to remotely access any of your computers anytime you want or need right from your iPhone. You will have 100% control over your distant computer, or the one that’s just out of arms reach if you want to roll that way. 100%? That’s right 100%!
Your desktop even shows on the iPhone screen. So you can navigate to the necessary file and send it to yourself via email, instant messenger, any way that you could send that file if you were sitting right there at your computer normally, and everyone is happy and you are the big hero of the day in your boss’s eye.
Here’s how I used it last. I was at the store and I saw a DVD for a movie I had been meaning to download and watch, but always seemed to forget when I was at my computer. So I reached in my pocket got out my iPhone called Scotty and said, “Scotty one for transport.” N o not really. I opened Jaddu selected my laptop at home. Opened Firefox, went to mininova.org and searched for the movie. Once I found it I started the download. I could even check back in periodically to see how the download was coming along. Anything you can do sitting at your computer with your keyboard and mouse you can do on the screen of your iPhone with Jaadu.
AppTheater.com is ( i belive ) the YouTube of iPhone apps. The site is fairly new , so don’t expect to find as many videos as you can find on YouTube but i believe it will grow very very fast. You can find the exact same options that YouTube offsers you , like embed and comment but there are other options as well like set video details where you can change brightness, contrast, saturation and smoothnes of the video you are watching.
Another thing i really like about AppTheater, is that on every video there is displayed the price of the app and there is an “Buy This App From The AppStore” button as well. All in all there is a great site and i hope it will grow to half the size of YouTube ( that is HUGEEEEEEEE ).
Check it out, upload your own videos, send me a mail , let me check them out.

Do you remember 2+ years ago when Steve Jobs first said the magic word : ” iPhone ” ? I know you do, but you remember it as a fan, in some cases a worshiper, but still…. You know who remembers that day like it was yesterday ? EVERYBODY in the industry. When the iPhone came out, it ruined everybodys plans. Everybody wants to copy the iPhone, but they didn’t succeed not even today after all this time.
I’m not talking here about the N97, or the android, not even about the Blackberry. Those are still top notch phones, that can be a real threat for the iPhone. But are you aware about the Asian cell phone industry?
What do you think that’s on your kid wish list for Christmas? You got this one right : TOYS. I know your busy, i know that, so that’s why I’m going to make is extra easy for you. Make your kid happy for Christmas, and make him / her take part of all the disney magic . Doesn’t matter how old is your kid, doesn’t matter if its a boy or a girl, here you will find all you need and they are at a very good market price. So please, i beg of you, stop buying stuff that your kid won’t like and buy him / her toys this Christmas. Trust me on this one.
The thing is , well all love and appreciate this wonderful technological jewel : the iPhone. But the truth is that on some levels you lack the ability to express yourself with it. Like how many of you wanted to customize the new text message sound. I bet 99.99% of you. Well it is doable but its just too much work that need to be done, in order to achieve that. And isn’t Apple products the ones that ” ..they just work ” ?
Well let me introduce you today to ToneFXs . This app is a great app that lets you customize your iPhone in the way you want to, make it personal. There are 2 parts in this story. First you need a jailbroken iPhone. Once you got a jailbroken iPhone, download and install ToneFXs via cydia onto your iPhone.Now you need to download the desktop app from Efiko Software ( both for Mac and PC ). Once you’ve completed this two steps, you are basically ready to go.
Plug you iPhone into your computer, lunch the program, browse computer for files, rename your files and send them to your iPhone. As simple as it can get. Once you sent all the sounds to your iPhone, the files will show up now in your option list. ToneFXs allows you to customize just about every system sound of the iPhone. One thing it can’t do is to assign different texts alrets sounds to every contact. I hope they will work on that, cause that would be badass.
The price is donation-based. You can give anywhere from $5 to $15 on the website, and you’ll receive a serial to plug into the app.
You do need to be aware of the caveat that Efiko puts on their site:
If you are familiar with all the past drama that started with iPhone 1.1, you should know we can’t guarantee this app will work in future iPhone and iTunes software because we don’t know what new lock down measures Apple may add to these upcoming iPhone updates that may prevent ToneFXs from working. Thus, we won’t offer refunds if ToneFXs does not work in future iPhone Software. Apple may decide to prevent this customization for whatever reason, however we doubt it as it’s a whole lot of fun and harmless. Regardless, we enjoy ToneFXs as much as you do and are committed to doing everything in our power to update ToneFXs to work with future iPhone and iTunes software updates just as we have done with iPhoneRingToneMaker.
NOTE :
You might get an error from time to time with various files, but dont worry its not you or your files. Just quit the app and relunch it. THat should fix it.
Happy Customizing
LATER EDIT :
Click Browse Computer and search for audio files on you HDD.
Select an audio file that you like and click open.
1. Thats the slider. It is locked on 15 seconds. You can make it less than 15 seconds if you want to and you can position it where you want. Listen to the tune and decide which 15 seconds of it do you want as a sound on you iPhone and position the slider there.
2. Fade in and Fade out the sound. If you don’t want that just delect them
3. Preview to make sure that is what you want.
4. Send to your phone. Thats it. ToneFXs does it magic super fast and the sound its on your phone.
This is ToneFXs option meniu in your iPhone. Personalize your iPhone. Its about damn time.
