CHEAP iPhone WANNABES

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?

SNAPTELL – IMAGE RECOGNITION ON YOUR iPhone

Since the holiday/shopping season is here, i decided to present you another useful app for this time of year. Well, to be honest , this app is useful anytime so, let’s begin :

This is a simple and useful app , that uses iPhone’s camera to find more info about DVDs, CDs, Video Games, and Books.All you need to do is to point and shoot the cover of any or this items and you good to go. I was actually surprised on how accurate the search was. And not only that was accurate, it was quick and painless as well.

What do i mean by painless? I mean i didn’t need to take 2-3-4 shoots of one product , in order for the app to recognize it and send me the results.

Depending on the product, your options for additional information will be: Buy from Amazon.com, IMDb, GameSpot, WikiPedia, Rotten Tomato, or the Google and Yahoo search results. All of these locations load up right in the app itself.

The items that you’ve looked for will remain in the SnapTell Explorer screen until you delete it. Of course , you can leave all the info there for later reference.

This app looks and feel a lot like Amazon’s Remembers , but the only difference is that , SnapTell has a wider field of search.

All in all , this is a very useful app and best of all IT IS FREE and you can download it from the appstore.

AMAZON.COM iPhone APP – HOT RIGHT NOW

FINALLY !!! Amazon.com got an app for iPhone. They offer you exactly what did you expect from an app like this, but the key feature of this app is something called Remembers. Now I’m really excited about this feature.So , basically Remembers allows you to shoot a pic with your iPhone and they will store it on their servers.

Now there’s nothing special about this so far. You are right. This is where the magic happens. If that pic is of a product ( or a similar product ) , they will identify the product and they will send you a notification that they found it for you.You will get notified like this : via email and via app. And the best part is that you get notified in max 5 min. I got the notification in 1 min or something like that.

Here you got some screen captures from my phone to get the feeling of this feature ( click on the image to enlarge it ) , but this is a must have on your iPhone.

PS : you can grab it for FREE from the appstore 😉

ToneFXs – Customize Every System Sound of Your iPhone

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.
