Responding to the iPhone’s popularity among students, many universities now are rolling out initiatives that aim to take advantage of its potential as a converged, mobile learning device.
The timing is good for such initiatives, because earlier this month, Apple Inc. moved to expand the use of its iPhone by unveiling software intended to allow third-party developers to build new iPhone applications.
On March 14, Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn., released a version of its web site’s home page specially designed for the iPhone. More—>
Q. My digital camera can shoot short videos. Is there a way to move these clips to my iPhone so I can watch them there?
A. The iPhone can play video files in the MP4, M4V and MOV formats. Once you copy the video clips to your computer from the camera, check to see what format the files are in. Many cameras save video in the AVI format, but newer models save clips as MP4 files.
If your camera does not save its video files in an iPhone-compatible format, you can find plenty of commercial and shareware video conversion programs on the Web that will convert AVI files into MP4 files. You can also get freeware with iPod conversion options, like WinFF, at www.topdrawerdownloads.com/download/104928. More—>
iPhoneUnlocking.org.uk are the UK’s leading iPhone unlocking specialists. They are now forcing into the global market with a brilliantly developed piece of software, which will unlock all iPhones worldwide, regardless of the firmware version or size. This software really is every iPhone owners dream come true.
Manchester, LA (PRWEB) March 18, 2008 — iPhone Unlocking has made it possible to unlock the iPhone and allow all iPhone owners to use any network provider of their choice, therefore opening up the iPhone to a much greater audience.
When the iPhone was first announced, technophopes everywhere where mesmerized by its beautiful bright screen, multi-touch capabilities and brilliant features. However, the initial excitement wore off when Apple announced that they are producing the iPhone exclusively with AT&T. This meant that you would have to be tied in to a 24 month contact with AT&T just to operate the iPhone.
There is no technical expertise required to use the iPhone Unlocking software. Just purchase and download the software from the site. Once the iPhone is connected to a computer, click the “unlock iPhone” button from within the software. In just a few minutes, the iPhone will be ready for use with any GSM Sim card worldwide. More—>
Executives at venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers had a running bet as they announced a $100 million fund to encourage developers to build tools for Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone. The wager was over how many business plans they’d receive in the first 30 days after the Mar. 6 announcement. Kleiner 
Perkins partner Matt Murphy won’t divulge the number, but says it was exceeded within 36 hours.
So great is the interest among developers in creating a software-based tool, or application, for Apple’s popular iPhone or iPod Touch that on the same day Apple announced the release of the software developer’s kit, or SDK, Apple’s Web site crashed. Many developers resorted to grabbing the file using BitTorrent file-sharing technology. On March 12, Apple reported that more than 100,000 developers downloaded the kit in the first four days it became available. More—>
