Downloads for iPhone: Application Sources List

We all know that Apple has allowed third party applications to be downloaded to the iPhone. We also know that there are a great number of companies and individuals who develops these application. The number is so great the one single post cannot cover them all.
Nevertheless, I made an attempt to systematize the most frequently visited sources (note that I didn’t say that they are the most reliable ones), and made up a kind of a list of iPhone Application sources:

iPhone Firmware 2.0 Beta review: What’s new
iPhone Firmware 2.0 Beta review: What’s new

With the forthcoming release of the new iPhone, the Internet is starting to get flooded by multiple videos with the new device. Some of theses videos are true fakes, but some seem quite credible.

Yet Apple has recently released iPhone 2.0 beta and I was lucky to have one for a test (in fact the gadget will be officially released in June). Some of the changes are still to come, but some of them will be unveiled by me for you right now:
- A great feature of multi-select in mail box. You can choose as many messages as you want. You will be able to work with them as with a group
- The Safari browser has a function of saving images directly from web-pages. You hold your finger against the image and in a matter of moments there will appear a pop-up window with options. You can save the image into the Photo album and from the album you can set it as a background image of send to your friends
- As far as I have noticed there is no contact search. In fact it might be activated when you have thousands and thousands of contacts, but as I have much less, I didn’t find the option
- The calendar features a new button, but as a matter of fact the purpose of that button remained vague to me
- Of course, as it was expected, the App store is present (though at the moment it doesn’t do anything)
- The basic calculator has a number of new modes besides the new icon
- iPhone’s VPN settings feature Cisco VPN screen. Still it is not know yet if the device will support SecurID or other hardware token authenticators
- Exchange is on. It can be made through the network and over WiFi it does check-ins, so it’s not as instantaneous
- Lots of parental control features have been added (like turning off YouTube)
- The new version of firmware will allow you to choose WiFi network
That really sounds great, doesn’t it? A lot of features (as I have already mentioned above) are still to come. So all we can do at this point is sit, wait and wonder!
iPhone Vs iPod Touch: Which One to Choose?
iPhone Vs iPod Touch: Which One to Choose?

Apple has released iPod Touch and later iPhone. These devices seem to be quite similar, but at the same time they have a number of differences. What are they?
In what way do iPhone and iPod Touch differ?

A lot of people want to buy one, but which one to choose? Both the gadgets are no dirt-cheap, so the choice is quite a task.
In fact, the devices are quite similar as far as what they do, but there are some points of difference.
The similarities:
- Both the devices have wi-fi
- Both of them can function as an iPod
- Both iPhone and iPod Touch have a note pad to take notes
- Both of them have a calendar to add events and reminders
- Both have picture library
- Both the devices possess YouTube capabilities
The difference (It means that these features are possessed by iPhone only):
- An inbuilt camera
- Maps option (via Google maps)
This feature can be extremely useful for those who get lost often. This makes your life safer as you can find out where you are and then directions from where you are physically.
- Internet browsing without using Wi-Fi
- EDGE capabilities
- The device gas speakers
- But at the same time the iPhone costs a little more
So what conclusion can we arrive at? While both the devices cost about the same amount of money, iPhone seems a better choice. In fact, iTouch is an iPhone without a number of features. Moreover, iTouch is not a phone. Then why buy a less functional device for the same money?
Cell Phone Accessories: Top 10 Weird iPhone Accessories
Top iPod Tube Amplifiers
Playing an iPod through tube amplifier may sound ludicrous, but not for those who tried that sound! It is even more than the warm sound of old tube amps. Tube amps designed for iPods have multiplied in recent years, from giant and stylish to tiny and sexy. Here is the top list of our favorites: 
Fatman iTube
The Fatman iTube includes an ultra-stylish iPod dock with 13-watt-per-channel tube amp. The iTube’s dock transfers video and audio through its S-video composite output jacks. It can charge your iPod, and includes a 27-button remote offering control over the main iPod’s functions. It is sold in many combinations for approximately $400.

Shanling MC-30
The Shanling MC-30 has the radio but packages it with an iPod dock and CD player. MC-30 possesses 3-watt-per-channel output for sensitive speakers.

RockridgeSound VTS-384
Rockridge VTS-384 from mighty Japan puts all you need for music into one box. It has a pair of EL-84 output tubes for each channel, the 4 watts total of rated output with those single-driver speakers. There is also a remote for iPod. The Japanese price is around $800.

Lars & Ivan PA-40Ti
Although it sounds like something scandinavian, Lars & Ivan are actually in Japan. Their PA-40Ti is a hybrid design using a tube line stage with a transistor power amp to deliver 40 watts per channel from a stylish package. This is another well-equipped dock with a video output, a remote control and iPod charging included. The price is 450$.

Acoustic Research AR4131
AR is one of hi-fi’s most respectworthy brands, with over 50 years of history. The AR4131 BlackVault system includes a subwoofer, which also houses the iPod dock.

Roth Audio MC-8
The MC-8 is by far the biggest iPod dock ever, pumping out 35 watts per channel through a pair of milk bottle-size 845 tubes. That iPod Nano looks so tiny in the 75 pound chassis. $5,000 price seems really crazy,but the MC-8 is designed to work as a high-end amp.

The Goldster Audio Concertino
The Concertino iPod system uses a single-ended triode amp to deliver about 7 watts into single-driver speakers of their own design. And the sound you get on output is really good for $4,000.

Gini Systems iTube
This iTube has a visual similarity to a white version of the AR BlackVault. The main difference here is that the actual dock itself is a separate item. Available individually or packaged together, the combo unit is estimated at $329.

DIY iPod Tube Mono Maven
Using existing designs for an 8-watt tube amp and three-driver speaker, Kurtis Berry combined the parts together with an off-the-shelf dock connector to create his mono rig. While he originally intended to build a second channel for stereo, he claims that it sounds so good as it stands, that those plans are on the back burner for now.

DIY Horny iPod Kit
While it’s not specifically an iPod dock, the Gakken Self Build Vacuum Tube iPod Amp kit was designed with iPod-loving retro-audio fetishists in mind. With a whopping 100 mW on tap, it’s a good thing with hypersensitive horn speakers. Just for $150 you get the whole complex for gorgeous budget taste.

Camtasia Studio 5.1 With iPhone And iPod Touch Support
Camtasia Studio is a popular application for capturing and editing screencasts, such as tutorials or presentations. Camtasia is highly valued for multiple media formats, including Web-optimized Flash, DVD, and iPod.

TechSmith is coming up with Camtasia Studio 5.1, an update that packages your screen recordings as MV4 files for playback on the iPhone and iPod Touch. Owners of Apple’s media players can use it easily now.
Camtasia Studio 5.1 has more extensive tools and settings with tips, video tutorials, and preset options to guide new users through the process of creating screencasts from start to end.
You can record any PC and PowerPoint screen action with or without sound, adding little gems like cursor highlighting, resizing apps within the recorder, and drawing on the screen. Audio and video clips are compiled, trimmed, and bedecked with visual effects in a production studio.
Well-rounded production settings rely on presets and manual customizations, letting users quickly format their video for common outputs like iPod and blog uploading in addition to hardcore audio and video configuration.

Camtasia Studio includes a standalone audio editor and the CD MenuMaker. Also there are included wizards, tips, tutorials, and templates for easy navigating.
Users will find a drop-down for a third audio track, and two new callouts have joined the library. Camtasia Theater can now wrap FLV and Express Show files into a snazzy presentation that users can navigate on their own, instead of just SWF files.Licensed users of Camtasia Studio 5 will receive the updates for free. Everyone else can download the 30-day trial
