Macworld ‘09, Time For The iPhone Nano?
December 29, 2008 by Ryan Ray · Leave a Comment
As any good and faithful Mac fan, we’re all gearing up for Macworld ‘09. It almost seems to many that Christmas and the New Year are second best to the biggest Mac conference of them all. Macworld has been the platform for many, and I mean MANY, product launches from Apple. I’ve been around long enough to live through four Macworlds, which seems crazy to me but I know many of you have witnessed many many more than I ever will. Sadly, this year will be the last year that Apple participates in Macworld.
App Store Bringing Dead Apps Back To Life?
December 27, 2008 by Ryan Ray · Leave a Comment
The app store is something we blog about all the time, not only here at iPhonenuts.com, but millions of other blogs talk about the app store time and time again. Today is no different, ha. The app store has been a gold mine for TONS of developers, not to mention a great place for me to find things to blog about and review. I believe the app store is well past it’s 100,000th app by now and probably going to break a million in no time. Needless to say, the app store and the policies that follow have been giving countless people, developers and normal folks, headaches since it’s inception.

December 3, 2008 by Ryan Ray · Leave a Comment
Big news as I woke up today. In fact this little tidbit, but significant new development, made me want to shriek like a little girl. Sort of like those girls that are at a Jonas Brothers concert…Imagine that coming out of me, a 21 year old man. Atleast I like to think of myself as a man. Times like that though make me wonder… Anyway enough of that! Here’s what’s happened today, Apple now allows developers to send promo copies of their apps to ANYONE. If you still don’t understand let me spell it out.
Top 5 Websites Made For The iPhone

Let me start by stating the obvious… the iPhone’s browser is a work of art and it rules the phone browsing world single handedly! We’ve all known since the day of the iPhone launch that this mobile version of Safari is incredible at bringing us the internet on such a small screen. Remember the now defunct Apple ad that stated the whole internet in your pocket? It really was true, until some people called it lying since flash isn’t available in the iPhone browser. On a side note I say flash can burn in hell, but that’s just me. I know many disagree with me on that, but that’s life hah. So with a slow data connection and the full internet in your pocket, we have the chance to view some awesome websites. Throw in the new user interface based on touches, swipes, and pinches, web developers had an awesome and new way to create websites ready for mobile devices.
What The iPhone Needs; iPod Library Ringtones
November 18, 2008 by Ryan Ray · Leave a Comment
Let’s pause for a second and think back to the dawn of ringtones. They first came about in Japan around 1996, where else did you expect them to come from? Ringtones were available in MIDI format and few were available on those first phones. Eventually came a phone were the user could input a custom composition and use that as their ringtone. The first downloadable ringtone service came from Finland in 1998 by a company called Harmonium which as we all know from there has spread like wildfire and ever increased the easy access and popularity of ringtones. The “Harmonium” contained both a way for people to make their own ringtone and then a delivery method over the SMS system we talked about last time.
Need A Free iPhone? Enroll at Abilene

What would you do if you were an incoming Freshman? Would you be freaking just a little bit? Many of us have been there twice, the first time in high school and once again in college. The first time is was enough for me, I had it rough haha. But get this, Abilene Christian University will be buying and providing every freshman with a new iPhone 3G or an iPod Touch. Just this year that happened to be 1,000 new students! How cool would that be to arrive and get the normal big stack of papers and your welcome t-shirts, only to toss those aside and rip into your newly issued iPhone 3G. That’s what I would be doing.
What The iPhone Needs; Mass SMS Deletion
November 5, 2008 by Ryan Ray · Leave a Comment
Let’s look at something today known as SMS messaging, or what we all call text messaging. First off, SMS simply means Short Message Service, and really that’s all it is. A short amount of text sent at a time between two people. There is nothing to more to say nor to explain to help you grasp the concept of SMS messaging. Needless to say text messaging has become one of the most popular ways to communicate in recent years. I think it even dwarfs the time we actually spend talking to each other on the phone. It’s also become one of the most profitable features for cell phone service providers to rake in the money on. In 2007 the SMS Industry, if we may call it that, brought in roughly 100 billion dollars. That statistic is insane! Atleast in my pea sized brain that is incredible. Apparently 1.8 billion people text and on average send 2.5 messages a day. I bet by this day in age in 2008 those figures have drastically increased. I used to send maybe 1 or 2 a day, but now it’s more close to me sending around 10-12 a day.
The iPhone In Highschool & College vs. Business
October 17, 2008 by Ryan Ray · Leave a Comment
First, let me ask a question. Do you think the iPhone is more of a “business” phone, or is it more of a “consumer” phone? For instance would you expect to see more Highschool & College students carrying one around or more suits from the office carrying one in their breast pocket? I know when the iPhone was first released it had no business implications at all really. The things that Blackberry users expect from their phones was not available to them if they wanted to switch to the iPhone. They had no Exchange support for many many corporations use Exchange as their email servers. There was no PUSH support where they could easily have everything like email, calendar, contacts immediately available to them.
