iPhone Hot News!! Pocket RingtoneStudio for iPhone

New Software Empowers iPhone Users To Turn Almost Any Media File
Into Ringtones

San Diego, CA--July 1, 2008--Information Appliance Associates,
creators of industry-leading connectivity solutions, announces the
release of the PocketMac® RingtoneStudio for iPhone, a new tool that
gives iPhone users the power to convert almost any media file on
their Macs into a ringtone.

"We're incredibly excited," said Terence Goggin, CTO of
Information Appliance Associates. "The iPhone is great, and as more
people are using it, they want to expand the variety of ringtones
they can use on their iPhone. But it was either too expensive or too
difficult to do on their own. That's where this software comes in."

PocketMac RingtoneStudio works with sound files, iTunes tracks
you own, and any Mac-friendly movie formats to produce ringtones that
can then be automatically synched to an iPhone.

One of the many powerful features of PocketMac RingtoneStudio is
EditingBay, which allows users to select exactly which 30 seconds
they want to use at their ringtone.

Goggin added, "With the EditingBay feature, customers can select
whatever 30 seconds they want from the movies and music files.
Literally any 30 seconds from each file. The 30 seconds from the
beginning, the 30 seconds smack dab in the middle, or somewhere
towards the end. It's visual, simple and completely up to the
customer what they want to choose."

PocketMac RingtoneStudio works on OS 10.4.x and 10.5.x (Tiger and
Leopard) and retails for $14.95.

"This opens up an entirely new world of source material for
iPhone users looking to create custom ringtones. Using the powerful
but easy- to-use editing features of PocketMac Ringtone Studio,
iPhone users can now select up to 30 seconds from any of their
favorite music, movies or iTunes files, and easily make them into
ringtones," Goggin continued. "This opens up new possibilities for
iPhone users."

Nikon D700 gets real: full-frame, 12.1 megapixels

Well, we can finally put the D700 rumors to bed. The beast that houses Nikon's newest monster (near) full-frame FX format 12.1 megapixel CMOS (not dissimilar from that found in the D3) is officially announced tonight, and it takes UDMA CompactFlash, and comes packing with a live view 3-inch display, 51 point autofocus (with 3D tracking), scene recognition, four-speed active dust reduction, ISO up to 6400, 5 or 8 fps full-res shooting, HDMI out, and a whole lot more. Expect it in July for $3,000 US (for the body).

Also being released are the SB-900 speedlight (August, $500), and the PC-E Micro NIKKOR 45mm f/2.8D ED and PC-E Micro NIKKOR 85mm f/2.8D lenses (August, $1,800 and $1,740, respectively).

Nikon D700 Previewed, demystified

Now that Nikon has deftly slipped the full frame (FX) D700 into the already tight slot separating its mid-range DX D300 and pro FX D3, we know what you're thinking. Huh? Fortunately, both Rob Galbraith and DP Review have given this a thorough analysis along with a titillating preview courtesy of DP Review. As Rob puts it, "If you own a D3 and a D300, then you have in two separate bodies most of the key bits and pieces that comprise the D700." While the choice between the $1,800 D300 and $3,000 D700 is more clear, prospective $5,000 D3 buyers won't be blamed if they profess a desire to hold-out for the 24.39 megapixel D3X expected within the next 12 months.
