San Diego, CA – Information Appliance Associates, creators of industry-leading mobile connectivity solutions, announces the release of the PocketMac(R) RingtoneStudio for BlackBerry, the first and only Macintosh tool that gives BlackBerry users the power to convert almost any media file into a ringtone.

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

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

One of the many powerful features of PocketMac RingtoneStudio for BlackBerry is the EditingBay, which allows users to easily select exactly which 30 seconds they want to use as 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 for BlackBerry works on OS 10.4.x and 10.5.x (Tiger and Leopard) and retails for $14.95 USD. PocketMac RingtoneStudio for BlackBerry supports BlackBerry Pearl (8100), BlackBerry Curve (8300), and BlackBerry 8800 series devices that have a microSD expanded memory card inside.

“The release of PocketMac RingtoneStudio for iPhone was such a success that our BlackBerry customers starting asking immediately if we could create something for them, too, and this is our answer. With this software and using the powerful but easy- to-use editing features of PocketMac Ringtone Studio, BlackBerry users can now make their own custom ringtones with almost no effort,” Goggin continued. “This opens up new multimedia possibilities for BlackBerry users.”

A YouTube video demonstrating PocketMac RingtoneStudio for BlackBerry is available. More information about the PocketMac RingtoneStudio for BlackBerry can be found at their website.

Nashville, Tennessee – RingtoneFeeder has evolved since its launch in April 2008 and the subscribers are getting more value for their money now than when they signed up originally. When RingtoneFeeder first started the subscribers would be getting just a single ringtone every week.

Currently the subscribers are receiving 4 ringtones every week. One vocal and one instrumental ringtone, both of them in two versions, with and without a ringing sound embedded. This option was made available recently based on user feedback, but the price structure remains the same.

The annual subscription which is priced at just $19.98 will now provide 218 ringtones as the subscriber will get the 10 latest releases instantly at the time of signup and 4 new tones every week for a year essentially bringing down the cost of each original iPhone ringtone to just 9 cents which is an incredible value for money.

“The release of the new iPhone 3G is an important event for us and we would like to welcome the many new iPhone uses around the world by giving them a dedicated ringtone and saying “hello” in their native language. We are matching the languanges of the first batch of countries where the iPhone 3G is released.” said Geoff Smith, Partner and Producer at RingtoneFeeder.

RingtoneFeeder is a new and innovative approach to ringtones offering a subscription model which automatically installs two new original ringtones on the iPhone via iTunes every week. The earlier a subscription to the service is made the bigger collection the subscriber will have. When a ringtone has been released it will not appear in the weekly updates ever again. The 10 latest ringtones are delivered when subscribing and then an additional two new ringtones every week.

There is also a free demo feed available so the service can be tried out with no obligations. The free feed contains a few sample ringtones as well as an introduction video and a PDF guide to managing ringtones via iTunes.

Geoff Smith has been producing and playing music most of his life and is mostly known online from his jingles heard on Adam Curry’s Daily Source Code Podcast, GeekBrief, Tips from The Top Floor, ScreenCasts Online, the successful iYule project and recently the theme song for TWiT Live. Geoff began composing jingles and theme songs for podcasters back in 2005 and has literally written hundreds.

The majority of the ringtones are written and performed by Geoff Smith who has been producing and playing music most of his life and is mostly known online from his jingles heard on Adam Curry’s Daily Source Code Podcast, GeekBrief.tv, Tips from The Top Floor, the successful iYule project and recently the theme song for TWiT Live.

Vilnius, Lithuania – Jumsoft announces the release of Stationery Pack of 50 high-quality and exclusive design options for every occasion. Now it is possible to apply letter-paper’s ideas to your e-mails.

All of the stationery themes are categorized under “Family,” “Congratulations,” “Invitations,” “Emotions,” “Vacations,” “Seasons,” and “Neutral.” That saves you time when looking for particular event.

Be the one in a thousand who cares about the warmth of e-mails. Let’s say that you send about five e-mails a day, each with a different content and aim. Suppose only two or fewer out of every hundred e-mails display something more than black letters on a white background. Why not illustrate and characterize your e-mails or notes, giving them a particular mood?

Send a thoughtful message and save time! The Stationery Pack is useful when you want to say something to a person you care about but when you have no words or lack the courage. In this case, choose a theme that reveals your feelings, and insert a few lovely words. Sometimes a sweet picture can say more than any words. By using Stationery Pack to indicate the purpose of your e-mail, you can save time. For example, rather than typing, “I would like to invite you to the movie,” use the cinema theme and insert the title and time only.

Create your own postcards! If you are bored with simply attaching photos of a journey or of a new baby to e-mails to family members, friends, or colleagues, Stationery Pack themes are a new way to present yourself. After you choose the necessary theme, simply drag and drop your photo into the photo area.

Creating an e-mail with Stationery is a snap. The Stationery comes with installer, so it will be displayed in Apple Mail New Message stationery menu conveniently. The Stationery requires Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Mail.

Pricing and Availability:
The Stationery Pack may be purchased for only $39 USD.

Just in time for the holiday, illumineX today announced the availability of HoppiX, a new arcade/puzzle game for Mac OS X, and the newest member of the iX Infinity Game PaX. Until January 1, 2006, the Infinity Game PaX which includes the new game HoppiX and six other games is available for $19.95 — a 30% savings.

HoppiX is a game of elimination. The object is to remove as many marbles as you can from the playing field. Take a marble and “hop” over a neighboring marble. The marble that was hopped over is removed from the playing field. Continue with this until no more hops are possible. If you removed enough marbles from the screen, then you will move on to the next level — or win the game!

HoppiX includes several variations on the basic game as well as many different and lovely sets of marbles. Changing to a new game variant will alter the game board layout and possibly even some of the rules of the game. We also have an Easy – Normal – Hard difficulty selection to make the game even more flexible!

The following game variants are included with HoppiX:

Classic – A single level, shaped like a cross.

Classic Plus – The classic cross shape, with a much larger field of play.

Radioactive – A group of levels shaped like the international symbol for radioactivity.

Smalltime – A collection of smaller level layouts.

Totally Square – A series of square shaped levels that get progressively larger.

HoppiX follows in the footsteps of the Mac OS X game hit, MarbleX and RuniX, making extensive use of the modern OS features found in Mac OS X to provide a game that is easy to use, and fun to play. For example, sound effects can be individually controlled in the Preferences panel. HoppiX also provides Mac Help, including strategy tips and a full description of all game features, an animated dock icon, and both Windowed & Full Screen display modes.

Pricing & Availability
HoppiX includes a free-trial mode, and can be obtained from the illumineX web site:

http://illumineX.com/software.html

(1) The software is available for free download, and features restricted game play in the free trial mode.

Registering HoppiX gives the customer access to play beyond the five minute restriction. It also allows saving of high scores.
(3) The iX Infinity Game PaX started with a single game and now includes 7 games, HoppiX, BabelBloX, HextriX, RuniX, RoX, MarbleX, and MnemoniX with hundreds of variations on game play. The pack can be registered during the Holiday Sale for $19.95 using the built-in secure registration system.

Just in time for the MacWorld San Francisco  2006- Free MapMemo archive with the best and most MacWorld related places in San Francisco! (1,3 MB)
“You can off-course always find places on a map of San Francisco visiting Google Maps or similar, but how do you upload your own places, how can a user put his or her own files on maps, similar to what Google does with the places they want to put?  That’s where MapMemo comes in and is – as far as we have learned in the last years – a unique solution, and it’s a Mac-only solution.”

Two weeks ago MapMemo has started collecting places and infos concerning San Francisco from Apple users around the world. The collection of tips is now available as free archive in the download section at the MapMemo website.
The places are all linked and marked on a detailed map of San Francisco, which can be used, completed and redistributed by anyone as long as it is bound in a MapMemo file and as long as it is free of charge.

MapMemo – one year and over 11.000 downloads old – already has a reputation for it’s MapMemo Archives for Apple Events. “We had a massive download of our Paris MapMemo file for the Apple Expo in September 2005. Now we wanted to offer the same type of pre-configured map for San Francisco. A MapMemo Map full of tips, places and MacWorld related events, but also a map where everybody can add his or her own files and pass them on to friends or colleagues or just keep them and be well prepared for the next visit in San Francisco”, says MapMemo.

 
MapMemo can be used as a free reader with no limits. Users can alter files – like the map for MacWorld San Francisco – save, archive and send it out without ever paying a license fee. Only if they want to save a specific file more than 5 times they get asked to pay a license fee of 18€/18$.

About MapMemo:
MapMemo is a simple but quite unique software, that allows users to organize all type of files on a map (image, scan, photo, drawing ..) via drag and drop. Files get linked as aliases to the map and leave a red pin there. Clicking on such a pin means opening the related file in it’s original application.

Pricing and availability:
MapMemo is ready for download on our website http://www.mapmemo.com. It can be used as a reader for MapMemo files and archives without any restrictions but it needs a 18€/18$ license fee if you want save a specific file more than 5 times.

System requirements:
Apple Macintosh Computer running Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4 or later.

Vancouver, Canada, Dec 21, 2005 — Mireth Technology Corp. has released version 3.16.0 of NetShred X, its easy to use internet track eraser that securely deletes internet tracks, such as cache, history and email trash. NetShred X runs on Mac OS X. Version 3.16.0 adds several advanced features including support for the latest versions of several browsers, and some new features.

NetShred X is the easy-to-use internet track eraser software for Mac OS X that erases files web browsers and email programs leave behind. It’s the internet privacy software that is designed to be easy, fast and cleaner. Because internet privacy software can’t be effective if it’s not used, NetShred X was designed to run automatically, without user intervention. And since erasing temporary internet files can take some time, NetShred X was designed to run in the background, so using the software doesn’t interfere with the user’s web browsing. Lastly, NetShred X is an effective method of permanently deleting internet tracks. This is a cleaner solution than just deleting the files, because it ensures that the data can’t be recovered.

This version adds several advanced features including:
• Support for Firefox 1, OmniWeb 5, Opera 7, Apple Mail 2, Safari 2, Eudora 6
• Added Apple Mail Cache shredding, favicon shredding, Firefox profiles, Quicktime Cache Shredding
• Added Enable tab in preferences to allow users to enable or disable shredding for each browser and email program
• Added NetShred & Logout, NetShred & Restart, NetShred & Shutdown options
• Add “Hide NetShred” feature

Pricing and Availability

NetShred X is available for immediate download, or on CD-ROM, starting at $19.95. Registered users of previous versions of NetShred X can upgrade for free. Educational pricing and volume discounts are available. NetShred X runs on Mac OS X. NetShred is also available for Mac OS and Mac OS 9. For more information, visit www.mireth.com/pub/nxme.html
