iPhone Ringtone Maker

Friday, August 20th, 2010

When a song gets stuck in your head, it’s hard to stop singing the tune and break into chorus. Why try to fight the song when you can turn it into your own personalized ringtone? Any song you want, whether it’s stuck in your head or not, can be turned into your iPhone’s ringtone.

The iPhone ringtone maker allows you to convert any audio file into a ringtone in M4R format. If you only enjoy the chorus, verse or even just the bridge of a song, you can cut that part of the song and just wait until somebody calls to hear that funky music. You can even extract the sound tracks off a video file and save it right into your iPhone. You can even add a few special effects to the ringtone, like a dramatic fade out or a surprising fade in effect. After creating the personalized ringtone you can directly upload it to your iPhone. Of course, before uploading the ringtone to your iPhone you have to listen to ringtone to make sure that’s what you wanted in the first place. If not, you can always go back and cut or add some clips off the track.

This application isn’t only an iPhone ringtone converter but is also an iPhone ringtone maker as well. If you feel like you can mash-up two songs together to make one epic ringtone don’t hesitate to do so because this application can support all kinds of audio formats such as MP3, WMA, RA, M4A, AAC, OGG, etc.

Get Mobile Access to your SharePoint 2010 Site!

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

Accessing your web content through mobile phones has become a trend these days. Consequently, SharePoint 2010 has been designed for improved ability for access of sites and content from mobile phones using a modem micro browser and an access gateway.

Take advantage of SharePoint mobile access feature and other useful features of SharePoint 2010 hosting, SharePoint Foundation hosting or SharePoint Server 2010 – with shared or dedicated hosting by a leading SharePoint 2010 hosting provider.

Microsoft SharePoint Foundation provides architecture to support mobile access to SharePoint pages and list data. Users of mobile devices navigate to the same URL as the users of desktop browsers. The mobile device is automatically redirected to a version of the page that is optimized for mobile devices. From there, users can use navigation links in the footer section of the mobile page to navigate among the home page, the all content (”list of lists”) page, list view pages, and mobile version of custom site pages including Web Part pages and wiki-enabled pages. There are also mobile versions of the New item, Edit item, and Display item forms. Any list that has a mobile view is accessible. A mobile view is simply a standard SharePoint list view marked for additional use as a mobile list view.

As SharePoint has different set of pages for mobile access, it also has an entirely separate set of controls for the mobile pages. Unlike server controls of the Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls namespace which are typically used in Web site pages displayed in the browser, SharePoint Foundation mobile controls of the Microsoft.SharePoint.MobileControls namespace used in mobile pages inherit from Microsoft ASP.NET controls of the System.Web.UI.MobileControls namespace.

Mobile access to the Web-based team sites connects people, organizations, suppliers, and customers no matter where they are. With mobile access to team sites, you get a powerful solution that offers an immediate venue for expressing ideas and communicating in a collaborative environment. Most important, mobile access to workspaces can help your organization more effectively handle three of the primary challenges of working on team projects:

o Getting timely approvals
o Coordinating team efforts
o Tracking outstanding issues in near real time
SharePoint 2010 is truly ready for the challenges of mobile access from anywhere.

Tweens’ Satisfaction and Brand Loyalty in the Mobile Phone Market

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

Tweens are far more satisfied with their mobile phones than adults are and that the mobile phones fulfill children’s expectations to a much higher degree. Still, brands are not able to turn tweens into loyal customers who will recommend their mobile phones to friends. Tweens’ loyalty is lower than what is experienced for adults and the relationship between satisfaction and loyalty is very weak.
