The new and annoying iPhone SMS tones

Posted by nkbish0p at 11:50 0
If you are anything like me, you probably find it annoying when somebody in the near vicinity receives a text on their iPhone as everyone seems to use "tri-tone" as their message alert. I have always found this annoying as this causes everyone to reach for their phone as they are unsure whether it is their phone or not.

ios4.2 brings some good news.
The new firmware adds a number of new message tones, something I feel should have been added a long long time ago.

There is also some bad news however. They are terrible. For a sample, check the link below and watch the video and feel free to comment below.

App highlight: CineXplayer

If you had been following my blog over the summer, you may remember a post I wrote about how to convert video for your iPhone, iPod touch or Ipad. In this post I described how currently to get your .avi and .xvid video files onto your iDevice you needed to use a conversion program, but now, finally, this is no longer the case.

A new app, with specific iPhone/iTouch and iPad versions, called cineXplayer allows you to simply drag and drop your .avi or .xvid files onto your device in iTunes for conversion free playback on your device. The app includes a video tutorial on how to do this inside of the app and can be purchased for only £1.19 in the app store.

In my opinion, this is an essential purchase for anyone with a quantity of .avi or .xvid files as it saves a lot of time and effort that would have been wasted on converting the files, however the obvious problem with this app is that the apps will be copied onto your device uncompressed, taking up more space.


Look out for more app reviews coming soon.
