AppStore Limited Time Freebies

“Instant Buzz Apps”

How do you make your AppStore App stand out from the slew of applications out there hoping to make their way to your iPhone screen?

The answer is simple, “A Free Limited Offering”. It’s a great strategy that skyrocket’s your download numbers and reviews across the web. You couldn’t ask for better publicity.

Below are two Apps you should download before they become “Pay-Apps”.

AirSharing

Photobucket
Free: Until September 22, 2008
Price: $6.99

AirSharing is based on a premise that has been around since the iPhone was first Jailbroken. It was the idea and execution of independent file viewers (PDF/DOC/Etc).

Where AirSharing excels is in it’s simplicity of form and function. (ie. you no longer need to jailbreak your iPhone and SSH files into it)

AirSharing connects to your Mac (or PC) as a wireless device and allows you to transfer and view files easily and between multiple computers.

It’s simple to set up and handles the same formats that safari is capable of.

Set Up Steps.

1. Run AirSharing on your iPhone
2. Click Your Finder Icon on your Mac OS
3. Press Command (”Apple”) + K
4. Type in the HTTP:// address on the bottom pane of the APP
5. Drag and Drop Files

File Tree

(Swipe to Delete)

File View
Photobucket
(fully functional picture modes: pinch, enlarge, landscape)

Earthscape

Photobucket
Free: Until ???
Price: $4.99

Earthscape has been deemed “Google Earth” on the iPhone. What seperates this App from Google Earth, is that it allows you to take real time photos of your location. (these appear as floating pictures across the globe)

It has been reviewed as slow and choppy, but the program works extremely well, expanding on the iPhone’s numerous capabilities.

How to Create Free Custom Ringtones for Your iPhone in 5 Easy Steps

Posted in Apps, How-To, Ringtones by meebz. Published September 1st, 2008

“For iPhone and iPhone 3G Firmware 1.2.X Using Garageband on Mac OSX”

1. Drag the song you would like to use from iTunes* to your desktop

2. Open Garageband** (create a new project, name the file whatever you’d like)^

3. Drag the song from your desktop into the main window of Garageband.

4. Go to Share –> Send Ringtone to iTunes

If you receive a pop up window saying the file is too large, follow these steps:

A. Click Adjust
B. A new yellow bar will appear at the top of your song, showing the acceptable length (this can be adjusted)
C. Go to the Measures Window (the bottom middle blue highlighted area), Click the Down Arrow under the Note Shape, until a Clock Appears. Now you should be able to see the seconds (keep it under 40).

5. You can Adjust*** (or not^^) the part of the song you would like to fit into the new yellow part, then repeat step 4 to Send Ringtone to iTunes.

You can now go to iTunes and see your new ringtone there. Rename it (if you’d like) and Sync to your iPhone.

*** Adjust your song, by double-clicking it (a new window will slide up on the bottom). Hit play and see what part of the song you want, highlight that part and double-click it. The song will now be broken into two parts in the top window. Delete the part you don’t want. Repeat as Necessary.
^^ If you don’t adjust, you automatically get the first 30 seconds of the song you choose.
