Free Ringtones for the Iphone – How to Work Around Apple’s Fee

Neal Hamou asked:
The ultimate in mobile phone customization is the creation and utilization of mobile ringtones. This has become increasingly popular among iPhone and iPhone 3g users mainly because users create ringtones based off of their existing library. The popular iPhone by Apple, has a built-in music library known as iTunes which allows users to download music and video files via their computer or the internet. Once the files are in the iTunes music library, users can then create personal ringtones using whatever song or sound file they wish.
But here is where it gets tricky! iTunes requires users to purchase the ringtone sequence even if they already own the song. So how is it possible to get free ringtones? Well to solve that problem there are two fairly well-known applications that are used, iToner and iPhoneRingtoneMaker. iToner is a ringtone manager for Mac users, while iPhoneRingtoneMaker is run using Windows. Both applications cost $15, hopefully less than the amount of ringtones users are planning on uploading. According to a recent article posted by Wired on September 12, 2008, the most recent iTunes update appeared to have crippled iPhoneRingtoneMaker for some users however, iToner seemed to remain functional.
Aside from purchasing those applications, users can still pay a single dollar and avoid the entire headache associated with trying to get free ringtones. With that said, it has been my experience that many users find it difficult to set their desired ringtones. A simple step by step guide can be found in AppCraver’s troubleshooting section with information on how to create ringtones on the iPhone.
If you feel that paying a dollar per ringtone just isn’t cutting it, check for updates on AppCraver to see if current applications still work or to find new applications that will let users create free ringtones.

You Don’t Have to be a Geek to Love the Iphone

The iPhone has been considered to be one of the biggest breakthroughs as far as the communication and multimedia portability concern, may non-tech-savvy users may like the features offered by this smart device but the many terms involved with it can represent a real obstacle which prevents them from buying one of these great devices.
This can be considered some sort of a “iPhone for dummies guide” if you want to see it that way. The way this device operates can be divided in 5 main areas, other users may argue that there are way more users for the device but for practical purposes we will keep it at five.
Internet Browser:
This is one of the main features those who buy the iPhone are looking for, the ability to access the web in order to check stocks, answer emails, get directions, read news and weather reports represents a very useful function which can’t be found many other phones. Those who are addicted to Youtube may find this feature remarkably useful since anyone can browse the huge video archives and see the streaming video without any distortion or complication.
Music Playback:
Yet another strong point found on the iPhone is the ability to carry a massive library of music files on it, depending on the version acquired, some can hold 8 GB of information which in non-geek talk means up to 2200 songs.
Video Playback:
This is another feature which is completely unrelated to the internet browsing capabilities programmed in the phone, what this means is that you can transfer any movie you have downloaded from legal movie rental services and play it back on the iPhone’s wide screen; other video files that you may have on your computer can be reproduced on this device as well, this allows you to have some fun while commuting.
Camera:
Yet another attractive feature is to be able to take pictures with this device, with 2 megapixels of resolution you can take clear pictures unlike the fuzzy pictures taken with other phones.
Phone:
This is the most basic function which allows you to make phone calls to one or many recipients (three-way calling) The features found in through this function are basically the same features you find in any other phone, you can add custom ring tones to it, add your phone number database to it, etc. The visual arrangement makes browsing through the database a lot easier than browsing through a phone database on a conventional cell phone.
As you see the iPhone is simply the mixture of all of these features in one slick device, the interface which lets you use each and every one of these features is easily laid out through thumbnails which represent each function, so as you see it doesn’t take a geek to successfully operate this smart device.
