I was digging around through my photo library and found a few photos that I thought would make great wallpapers for iPhones (iPod Touches, too!) and felt like it would be fun to make a few and share them with you Here are 5 to get you started. If you’re really into it, I can share more later. Enjoy!
I’ve discovered this fabulous plugin called Cooliris, and have spent endless amounts of time toying with it. It’s a browser plugin that allows you to scroll through and view lots of images in a gorgeous, interactive 3D wall. Being an image and usability nerd, I’m really impressed with how it works and how simple it is to use.
You can launch a Google Image Search, browse Flickr, Facebook and lots of other websites. You can even enable your own site if you’d like. I personally was very happy to find that out, and am going to be including that in my upcoming relaunch.
Cooliris is free and works with Firefox, Safari and yes, Internet Explorer. They even have an iPhone application! So you literally have no excuse for not getting it and enjoying a new way of browsing the web.
Go have a look around their site.
The Unofficial Apple Weblog has a post about the missing ringtone on our iPhones. You know, the one you always hear in the commercials but can’t ever seem to use for yourself. I found this out when I got tired of using my ringtone and wanted to go back to what I thought was the original ringtone. Well friends: if you’re on a Mac, head on over to:
/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/iLife Sound Effects/Work – Home/Cell Phone Ringing.aif.
For those of you not on a Mac, I’ve posted the file here for you to download: go get it! You’ll just need to look into how to convert it to a ringtone (basically you need to covert it to an m4r file, but it’s super simple.)
Enjoy!
