The dual-core A5 chip. The same 10-hour battery life.&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; All in a thinner, lighter design. Now iPad is even more amazing. And even less like anything else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="column first"&gt;        &lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Thinner, lighter, and&lt;br /&gt;full of great ideas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;        &lt;p&gt;Once you pick up iPad 2, it’ll be hard to put down. That’s the  idea behind the all-new design. It’s 33 percent thinner and up to 15  percent lighter, so it feels even more comfortable in your hands.&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;  And it makes surfing the web, checking email, watching movies, and  reading books so natural, you might forget there’s incredible technology  under your fingers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Two cameras.

They may be tiny, but  they’re a big deal. They’re designed for  FaceTime video calling, and they work together so you  can talk to your  favorite people and see them smile and laugh back at you.&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;  The front camera puts you and your friend face-to-face. Switch to the  back camera during your video call to share where you are, who you’re  with, or what’s going on around you. When you’re not using FaceTime, let  the back camera roll if you see something movie-worthy. It’s HD, so  whatever you shoot is a mini-masterpiece. And you can take wacky  snapshots in Photo Booth. It’s the most fun a face can have&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kDGD9nyUs1A/Tm9veBdP0LI/AAAAAAAAAEM/bugP3LtNbCM/s1600/overview_smartcover_gallery1_20110302.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 202px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kDGD9nyUs1A/Tm9veBdP0LI/AAAAAAAAAEM/bugP3LtNbCM/s400/overview_smartcover_gallery1_20110302.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651858618951127218" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;iPad Smart Cover. Designed for iPad. And &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;vice versa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;       iPad 2 and the iPad Smart Cover are made for each other. Literally.&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;  We designed the iPad Smart Cover to work side-by-side with iPad — and  on top and underneath it, too. Smart magnetic technology built into each  really pulls them together. The iPad Smart Cover falls  perfectly into  place  and stays put to protect your iPad screen, yet doesn’t add bulk to  its thin, light design. Open the Smart Cover and your iPad wakes up  instantly. Close it and your iPad goes to sleep automatically. And  here’s another smart part: It transforms into the perfect  movie-watching, game-playing, web-surfing stand. It comes in 10 bright  colors — including five in rich, aniline-dyed Italian leather.&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt; Choose your favorite, and your iPad will be smart all around&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="column last"&gt;      &lt;h1&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8d1wC05vn1M/Tm9uh6ZNxYI/AAAAAAAAAEE/crr3yHXDLjA/s1600/overview_multitouch_20110302.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 271px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8d1wC05vn1M/Tm9uh6ZNxYI/AAAAAAAAAEE/crr3yHXDLjA/s400/overview_multitouch_20110302.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651857586263016834" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Multi-Touch.&lt;br /&gt;Everything’s at your fingertips.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;        &lt;p&gt;Technology is at its best when it feels completely natural,  almost like there’s no technology at all. That’s Multi-Touch on iPad.  You use your fingers to do everything, so everything you do — surfing  the web, typing email, reading books, and swiping through photos — is  easier and a lot more fun. How does it work? When your fingers touch the  display, it senses them using electrical fields. Then it instantly  transforms your taps, swipes, pinches, and flicks into lifelike actions.  Just like that.&lt;/p&gt;      &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;LED-backlit display.The view is amazing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;     &lt;p&gt;iPad is one big, beautiful display —  9.7 inches of  high-resolution photos, movies, web pages, &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;books, and more. LED  backlighting makes everything you see remarkably crisp, vivid, and  bright. Even in places with low light, like an airplane. And there’s no  wrong way to hold iPad. It’s designed to show off everything in portrait  and landscape, so with every turn (even upside down), the display  adjusts to fit. Because it uses a display technology called IPS  (in-plane switching), it has a wide, 178° viewing angle. Hold it up to  someone across the room, or share it with someone sitting next to you,  and everyone gets a brilliant view.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Dual-core A5 chip.It’s fast, times two.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Two powerful cores in one A5 chip mean iPad can do twice the  work at once. You’ll notice the difference when you’re surfing the web,  watching movies, making FaceTime video calls, gaming, and going from app  to app to app. Multitasking is smoother, apps load faster, and  everything just works better.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h1 style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Superfast graphics.Go, gamers, go.&lt;/span&gt;       &lt;/h1&gt;&lt;p&gt;With up to nine times the graphics performance, gameplay on iPad  is even smoother and more realistic. And faster graphics help apps  perform better — especially those with video. You’ll see it when you’re  scrolling through your photo library, editing video with iMovie, and  viewing animations in Keynote.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Battery life keeps on going. So you can, too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Even with the new thinner and lighter design, iPad has the same amazing 10-hour battery life.&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;  That’s enough juice for one flight across the ocean, or one  movie-watching all-nighter, or a week’s commute across town. The  power-efficient A5 chip and iOS keep battery life from fading away, so  you can get carried away.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;iOS 4.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The world’s most advanced mobile operating system.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;     iOS 4 is the operating system for iPad (along with iPhone and  iPod touch). It lets you browse,  read, and see everything just by  touching the screen. It includes all the powerful, innovative, and fun  built-in apps you use every day, many times a day. And it’s the platform  on which more than 90,000 other amazing apps have been created for  iPad. It’s highly secure, stable, and responsive, and it’s made to work  seamlessly with the iPad hardware. iOS 4 is the reason no other device  has yet come close to iPad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Instant On.The fun starts fast.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Pick up your iPad, press the Home button, and it wakes from  sleep instantly. That’s because iPad features fast, efficient, and  reliable flash storage that lets you access data quickly. So everything  effortlessly springs to life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Wi-Fi and 3G.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Two great ways to stay connected.&lt;/span&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;Every iPad is built with advanced 802.11n wireless technology.  It automatically fin ds Wi-Fi networks, which you can join with a few  taps. iPad is also available with 3G connectivity on either AT&amp;amp;T or  Verizon Wireless networks. So if you’re somewhere without Wi-Fi, such as  outdoors on a camping trip or on the road, you can still surf the web,  check email, or get directions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;    &lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Gyro, accelerometer, and compass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;iPad knows your every move.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;      &lt;img class="right" src="http://images.apple.com/ipad/features/images/overview_gyro_icon_20110302.jpg" alt="" height="83" width="83" /&gt;     &lt;p&gt;With the built-in accelerometer, you can rotate iPad to portrait  or landscape, or even upside down, and whatever you’re watching,  reading, or seeing adjusts to fit the display. And now the  accelerometer, three-axis gyroscope, and compass all work together. They  sense which direction iPad is heading and how it’s moving. So games,  maps, and other apps know your every twist, turn, tilt, and 360. It’s an  epic win for gaming. And it’s just the beginning of better-than-ever  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;iPad apps.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;AirPlay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Your movie-photo-music stream.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;      All the great stuff on your iPad — your music, photos, and video  — can now stream wirelessly to your HDTV and speakers via  AirPlay-enabled speakers or Apple TV on a Wi-Fi network.&lt;sup&gt;7&lt;/sup&gt; With just a tap on the AirPlay icon, blast some tunes, have a movie night, show off some photos, or  watch YouTube. And go big.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Video mirroring.&lt;br /&gt;What you do is what they see.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;       Video mirroring is new for iPad and for every app, web page,  presentation, video, movie, or photo you want to show a big audience.  Just plug in the Apple Digital AV Adapter or Apple VGA Adapter (sold  separately) and your HDTV or projector becomes a bigger version of your  iPad. One plug, that’s it. Everyone sees what’s on your display — even  when you rotate iPad from portrait to landscape or zoom in and out on  photos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;AirPrint. Print everything wirelessly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;      Print your email, photos, web pages, and documents right from your iPad over Wi-Fi.&lt;sup&gt;8&lt;/sup&gt;  There’s no software to download, no drivers to install, and no cables  to connect. With just a few taps, you can go from viewing something on  the iPad screen to holding a printed copy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZIfH8xZYLnA/Tm9xIqclhDI/AAAAAAAAAEc/nb69G9JOEns/s1600/overview_airprint_20110302.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 235px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZIfH8xZYLnA/Tm9xIqclhDI/AAAAAAAAAEc/nb69G9JOEns/s400/overview_airprint_20110302.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651860451020342322" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4507978155390832595-8255248302999339301?l=shop-nano.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shop-nano.blogspot.com/feeds/8255248302999339301/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://shop-nano.blogspot.com/2011/09/ipad2.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4507978155390832595/posts/default/8255248302999339301'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4507978155390832595/posts/default/8255248302999339301'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shop-nano.blogspot.com/2011/09/ipad2.html' title='iPad2'/><author><name>nano-shop</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11043651378375031145</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ycC26b4VhLw/Tm9ubb3B0aI/AAAAAAAAAD8/5St9WlzPLvM/s72-c/overview_performance_20110302.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507978155390832595.post-4548530066203497338</id><published>2009-04-01T00:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-01T01:00:50.961-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='iPhone Accessorie Products'/><title type='text'>iHome iP99BR Dual Alarm Clock Radio for iPod, iPhone (Black)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9XZBdvRBiDI/SdMfIpj1NQI/AAAAAAAAADY/G5l2jPcCOJw/s1600-h/1.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 280px; height: 280px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9XZBdvRBiDI/SdMfIpj1NQI/AAAAAAAAADY/G5l2jPcCOJw/s400/1.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319629818310243586" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2 style="text-align: left;"&gt;Technical Details&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;" class="content"&gt; &lt;ul style="padding-left: 25px; list-style-type: disc;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;Universal dock for iPhone, with inserts to fit docking iPod models  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;7-5-2 Alarm Settings for full weeks, weekdays, and weekends  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Auto-Set Clock sets itself  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Programmable Snooze  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Charges iPod or iPhone while docked &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Product Details&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;div class="content"&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Product Dimensions: &lt;/b&gt;9 x 4.2 inches ; 4 pounds &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Shipping Weight:&lt;/b&gt; 7 pounds &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Shipping: &lt;/b&gt;Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S.  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;ASIN:&lt;/b&gt; B0017PMSES  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Item model number:&lt;/b&gt; iP99B &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe style="width: 120px; height: 240px;" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=iphooftheworl-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=as1&amp;amp;asins=B0017PMSES&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;m=amazon&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=000000&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;Product Description&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="content"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Product Description&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meet the new iP99, the world's  first clock radio for the iPhone!

Pure gold, which measures 24 karats, is too soft for use in jewelry. It is alloyed with other metals--silver, copper, nickel, and zinc--to increase its strength and durability. 14k white gold is not as white as platinum, as it is made from a yellow metal that is turned white mostly through nickel alloys. Most white gold items have a rhodium plating that wears away over time, so the metal may look more yellow with age. Some people prefer the slightly warmer white of white gold over platinum's grayer white.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;18k White and Yellow Gold&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Due to recent advances in alloy technology, 18k gold is now generally considered to be as durable as 14k gold. Because 18k gold has a higher percentage of pure gold, it has a richer gold color than 14k gold and is slightly heavier. An 18k gold setting can cost approximately 25% to 65% more than the same setting in 14k gold.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Platinum&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Platinum has great durability in holding precious stones. It is 35 times rarer than gold. A platinum jewelry item can cost approximately 60% to 200% more than the same setting in 18k gold, and 100% to 300% more than the same setting in 14k gold. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;iframe style="width: 120px; height: 240px;" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=iphooftheworl-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=as1&amp;amp;asins=B001QFY2MK&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;m=amazon&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=000000&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;table class="techSpecTable" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr class="techSpecRow"&gt;&lt;td style="font-weight: bold;" class="techSpecTD1"&gt;Gem Type:&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="techSpecTD2"&gt;Diamond&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr class="techSpecRow"&gt;&lt;td style="font-weight: bold;" class="techSpecTD1"&gt;Height:&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="techSpecTD2"&gt;0.48 inches&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr class="techSpecRow"&gt;&lt;td style="font-weight: bold;" class="techSpecTD1"&gt;Width:&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="techSpecTD2"&gt;2.4 inches&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr class="techSpecRow"&gt;&lt;td style="font-weight: bold;" class="techSpecTD1"&gt;Length:&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="techSpecTD2"&gt;4.5 inches&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr class="techSpecRow"&gt;&lt;td style="font-weight: bold;" class="techSpecTD1"&gt;Total metal weight:&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="techSpecTD2"&gt;4.69 Ounces&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p&gt;Knowing the approximate metal weight of a jewelry item allows you to assess its value more accurately. Typically, heavier jewelry items are more valuable because they contain larger amounts of precious metal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;li&gt;  28.35 grams equals 1 ounce (avoirdupois).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;  453.58 grams equals 1 pound (avoirdupois).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;  1 pennyweight (abbreviated &lt;i&gt;dwt.&lt;/i&gt;) equals 1.55 grams. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Diamond Information&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);

But many iApps are truly useful additions to a designer's toolbox. Here are a few of the better apps, which range in price from free to $9.99.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At some point soon, we’re going to marvel at this novel period when most cell phones are still used solely for making phone calls or sending text messages and email. On Apple’s iPhone, the calling features are just one small part of what it can do; thousands of applications are available -- most costing $10 or less -- that redefine the idea of what a "phone" can be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For designers, the iPhone (and the iPod touch, which runs the same software but doesn’t include phone functions) is turning into a valuable sidekick. Amid the games, utilities, games, novelty programs, and, yes, games on Apple’s App Store are lots of apps geared toward designers. Here are several that stand out. (Note that URLs in some cases lead directly to the App Store within iTunes.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FontShuffleFree&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How much time do you spend scrolling through font menus in various applications looking for just the right typeface for your projects? (And how much of that time is spent waiting for the software to render preview versions of the faces?) The free FontShuffle, from FontShop AG, is an interactive library of around 650 of FontShop’s offerings. Tap a style, such as "slab serif," and then an attribute within that style, such as "geometric," and you’re given a screen full of matching typefaces. If you’re not crazy about the results, tap the Shuffle button or shake the iPhone to display more faces. Selecting one brings up a sample, where you can also type any text you’d like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;Figure 1. If you don’t see a typeface that excites you, shake the iPhone or tap Shuffle to bring up more options.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9XZBdvRBiDI/Scx17gR2N3I/AAAAAAAAAAY/o-fDhumE1wM/s1600-h/20090128_fg01.PNG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317754925155235698" style="WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9XZBdvRBiDI/Scx17gR2N3I/AAAAAAAAAAY/o-fDhumE1wM/s400/20090128_fg01.PNG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Color Expert$9.99&lt;br /&gt;Some designers possess an innate sense of color, while others need help mixing and matching colors that work well together. Both types are well served by Color Expert, a $9.99 app from Code Line Communications. An interactive color wheel displays color sets in several schemes (monochromatic, analogous, complementary, and so on) that update as you drag a finger across it. You can also view a host of color palettes, determine hex codes for RGB values, and look up HTML named colors and Web-safe palettes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Figure 2. Use the Color Expert color wheel to find colors that work well together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9XZBdvRBiDI/Scx17lljTlI/AAAAAAAAAAg/tXBZ-YsMAEw/s1600-h/20090128_fg02.PNG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317754926580059730" style="WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9XZBdvRBiDI/Scx17lljTlI/AAAAAAAAAAg/tXBZ-YsMAEw/s400/20090128_fg02.PNG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That’s great for noodling around with color groups, but imagine that you’re walking around and run across an object or scene with a color you think might be good for a project. In Color Expert, take a photo with the iPhone’s camera, and tap the object in the picture to sample the color. You can then build a set based on it. You can also use images in the Photos app as source material.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What many designers will find most attractive, however, is support for Pantone swatch libraries. Color Expert will tell you not only the closest Pantone match for the colors in your set, but will also point you to the page in the physical swatch book where you can find it. (Keep in mind that the Pantone colors onscreen are approximations, and not as accurate as the printed swatches.)&lt;br /&gt;For later reference, you can store the color set or email it as an image attachment that includes each color and their numeric equivalents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;Figure 3. Color Expert speaks Pantone, just like you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9XZBdvRBiDI/Scx17jVzNdI/AAAAAAAAAAo/gJVE54XtXt8/s1600-h/20090128_fg03.PNG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317754925977122258" style="WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9XZBdvRBiDI/Scx17jVzNdI/AAAAAAAAAAo/gJVE54XtXt8/s400/20090128_fg03.PNG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A surprisingly large number of color utilities are available for the iPhone and iPod touch. While Color Expert excels at discovering colors that complement each other, First, instead of sampling one color from an image, Palettes can analyze a photo or Web URL (including HTML pages and CSS files) and offer a breakdown of its colors, which you can then manipulate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;Figure 4. This photo of a child in a tutu is stored on my iPhone. Palettes pulled out the colors in the photo to create the palette below.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9XZBdvRBiDI/Scx5m6LAnkI/AAAAAAAAABg/kW7aDXRyyjE/s1600-h/20090128_fg04.PNG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317758969375137346" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 96px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9XZBdvRBiDI/Scx5m6LAnkI/AAAAAAAAABg/kW7aDXRyyjE/s400/20090128_fg04.PNG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its other strength is the array of export options for sharing a palette. In addition to sending an image containing previews and information about the colors, you can attach the palette as a file that can be imported into Photoshop, Illustrator, GIMP, Paintshop Pro, or the Mac OS X Color Chooser. Or, when you’re back at your computer, with both the computer and iPhone connected to the same wireless network, you can launch a Web browser on the computer and connect directly to Palettes on the iPhone. From there you can download or upload palette files.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;Figure 5. The variety of export options in Palettes ensures that you can work with the colors quickly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9XZBdvRBiDI/Scx6FVwVY5I/AAAAAAAAABo/0slpI3wfN-M/s1600-h/20090128_fg05.PNG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317759492175520658" style="WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9XZBdvRBiDI/Scx6FVwVY5I/AAAAAAAAABo/0slpI3wfN-M/s400/20090128_fg05.PNG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Palettes Lite, a free version of the app, gives you an idea of what the program can do but limits the number of palettes you can create and doesn’t offer as many export options.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brushes&lt;br /&gt;Let’s see: large, colorful, touch-sensitive screen that’s specifically designed to be operated with your fingers. It’s a finger-painting sketchbook -- with Undo! Steve Sprang’s $4.99 app Brushes can handle your squiggles and cocktail-napkin drawings, but also gives you the sensitivity and brush control to really paint on your iPhone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Change brush sizes and hardness, choose a color from a color wheel and set its opacity, and then start drawing. You can use the iPhone’s two-fingered pinch and separate gestures to zoom in or out or drag the canvas around. You can also sample colors in an image (including photos you import from the Photos app) by holding your finger to the screen. Instead of an eyedropper cursor appearing, as you would expect in a desktop application, Brushes displays a circle around your finger (which would otherwise obscure the cursor) that contains the sampled color.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;Figure 6. Brushes offers variable brush sizes, partially transparent paint colors, and that tool missing from the portable watercolor set in your bag: an Undo button.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9XZBdvRBiDI/Scx7ewVe45I/AAAAAAAAABw/3yyt2_CVtRI/s1600-h/20090128_fg06.PNG"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317761028319011730" style="WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9XZBdvRBiDI/Scx7ewVe45I/AAAAAAAAABw/3yyt2_CVtRI/s400/20090128_fg06.PNG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;Watch a video demonstration of Brushes: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iv5dDGjUXI"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;Click here &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;to See Video&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;iBlueSky&lt;br /&gt;If creativity strikes in a less visual fashion, what you might want is a brainstorming and mind-mapping application like Tenero’s $7.99 iBlueSky. With a few taps you can easily build a hierarchical connection of ideas, including the capability to cut, copy, and paste branches. The interface is pretty basic, but it doesn’t get in the way of quickly jotting down notes and related topics.&lt;br /&gt;When you’re done, iBlueSky exports (as an email attachment) to seven different formats: PNG, PDF, text outline, NovaMind, BSKY XML (iBlueSky’s map format), OPML (used by other mind-mapping applications), or Freemind MM (another mapping program). Your outgoing email contains files in each format; you can’t pick and choose. But what’s important is that you got your ideas down and in one or more formats you can build on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;Figure 7. iBlueSky lets you quickly jot ideas on the iPhone or iPod touch, no napkin or pen required.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9XZBdvRBiDI/Scx-Hq0Y8NI/AAAAAAAAAB4/vSxkBZZ165U/s1600-h/20090128_fg07.PNG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317763930235924690" style="WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9XZBdvRBiDI/Scx-Hq0Y8NI/AAAAAAAAAB4/vSxkBZZ165U/s400/20090128_fg07.PNG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PhotoCalc&lt;br /&gt;Now that digital cameras can perform sophisticated on-the-spot calculations, it’s easy to forget that photography can still be an exceedingly mathematical endeavor. &lt;a href="http://www.adairsystems.com/photocalc/" target="new"&gt;PhotoCalc,&lt;/a&gt; a $2.99 utility from Adair Systems, is the left-brain answer to creating right-brain–friendly photos. It can calculate depth of field distance limits; tell you whether a combination of aperture, ISO, and flash power will adequately light a scene; and even use the iPhone’s internal location controls to tell you how early you need to wake up to catch tomorrow’s sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;Figure 8.

You can set up clients and link them to records in the iPhone’s Contacts database, create job details, and tap a giant start/pause button to bookend the time you spent working on them.

If you find yourself on the road often (or your main computer is a notebook) and you’re accustomed to using a 10-key layout for entering numbers, NumberKey plus an application running on your Mac gives you an external numbered keyboard.&lt;br /&gt;Even if you’re not crunching digits, because NumberKey works as if it were physically attached to your computer, it can also be used with keyboard shortcut combinations; for example, setting Command-Option-number key 7 to apply a body style in Adobe InDesign, which would otherwise require also holding down the Fn modifier on a Mac laptop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;Figure 10. NumberKey is exactly what it looks like -- a 10-key keyboard extension -- but virtual and wireless.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9XZBdvRBiDI/ScyAekNRPZI/AAAAAAAAACQ/aNlQdoF-b90/s1600-h/20090128_fg10.PNG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317766522621476242" style="WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9XZBdvRBiDI/ScyAekNRPZI/AAAAAAAAACQ/aNlQdoF-b90/s400/20090128_fg10.PNG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4507978155390832595-5659081835493445935?l=shop-nano.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shop-nano.blogspot.com/feeds/5659081835493445935/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://shop-nano.blogspot.com/2009/03/iphone-apps-for-designers.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4507978155390832595/posts/default/5659081835493445935'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4507978155390832595/posts/default/5659081835493445935'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shop-nano.blogspot.com/2009/03/iphone-apps-for-designers.html' title='iPhone Apps for Designers'/><author><name>nano-shop</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11043651378375031145</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9XZBdvRBiDI/Scx17gR2N3I/AAAAAAAAAAY/o-fDhumE1wM/s72-c/20090128_fg01.PNG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507978155390832595.post-6426177226991196707</id><published>2009-03-26T14:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-01T00:06:27.402-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='iPhone Details'/><title type='text'>Apple's 2009 iPhone to support faster 3G networks - report</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A new report indicates that the next iPhone hardware release will offer  "a significantly faster Internet connection," harmonizing with previous coverage  of AT&amp;amp;T's network upgrade plans.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/next-gen-iphone-rumor-faster-internet-speeds-2009-3"&gt;posting&lt;/a&gt;,  by Dan Frommer of &lt;em&gt;Silicon Alley Insider&lt;/em&gt;, only cited "a plugged-in  source in the mobile industry," and the only speculated about what that might  mean for new iPhone hardware.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, at last year's Morgan Stanley  Communications Conference, AT&amp;amp;T Mobility CEO Ralph de la Vega outlined the  company's plans for upgrading its US networks during &lt;a href="http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/09/02/24/att_ceo_lays_out_plans_to_improve_3g_coverage_in_2009.html"&gt;a  presentation&lt;/a&gt; to atendees. He commented on the matter again this February in  &lt;a href="http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/09/02/24/att_ceo_lays_out_plans_to_improve_3g_coverage_in_2009.html"&gt;an  interview&lt;/a&gt; with &lt;em&gt;Engadget&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Handset and mobile network  speeds&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After describing the company's ongoing efforts to expand  use of its 850MHz spectrum to strengthen 3G reception in cities, de la Vega  said, "we're also looking to improve the speeds of our 3G network. As I  mentioned before, we have the infrastructure capability to go to 7.2  [Mbit/s]."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The current iPhone 3G's hardware only supports mobile  downloads up to 3.6Mbit/s. A phone hardware upgrade would be required to take  advantage of the new level of 7.2Mbit/s HSPA service AT&amp;amp;T is now  provisioning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The original iPhone was similarly linked to an enhanced  rollout of EDGE service, and last year's iPhone 3G stressed AT&amp;amp;T's fledgling  3G network, which was also bolstered in conjunction with Apple's launch. Apple  itself installed 3G transmitters in its retail&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9XZBdvRBiDI/Scvw2SqtQII/AAAAAAAAAAM/uEDRRDpYEBE/s1600-h/iphonenetwork090320.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 520px; height: 142px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9XZBdvRBiDI/Scvw2SqtQII/AAAAAAAAAAM/uEDRRDpYEBE/s320/iphonenetwork090320.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317608600555569282" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HSPA, HSPA+ and LTE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How fast this year's new iPhone will  get actually depends upon the radio components Apple can source. AT&amp;amp;T's long  term plans include an upgrade to 3GPP Release 7 (HSPA+) and later Release 8,  also known as LTE (Long Term Evolution). LTE refactors UMTS service as an  entirely IP-based, fourth generation network based on orthogonal  frequency-division multiplexing technology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We've already got HSPA  [networks built out] and when we go to Release 7," de la Vega said, "we can go  all the way up to 20 megabits per second." Some UMTS networks in other countries  already support 20Mbit/s HSPA+ Release 7 (also referred to as 3.5G), and many  have supported 7.2Mbit/s HSPA for some time, making it straightforward for Apple  to launch a new iPhone with support for 7.2Mbit/s HSPA mobile networks, if not  the even faster 20Mbit/s HSPA+.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We are, right now, capable of taking our  network and improving the speed of it up to 20 megabits per second. So we think  that carries us through the next year, year and a half, then I think you begin  to look at LTE as the next step [in the 2010-2011 time frame]," de la Vega  said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[&lt;strong&gt;Update and clarification&lt;/strong&gt;: As originally noted at  first publication, the current iPhone 3G's hardware only supports mobile  downloads up to 3.6Mbit/s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to &lt;a href="http://www.gearlog.com/2008/07/apples_joswiak_iphone_3g_runs.php"&gt;an  interview&lt;/a&gt; GearLog conducted with Apple's Greg Joswiak, the iPhone 3G uses  "the HSDPA 3.6 high-speed network standard, which is faster than the HSDPA 1.8  standard previously reported."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wikipedia's &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Deployed_HSDPA_networks#U"&gt;notes&lt;/a&gt;  on AT&amp;amp;T's currently deployed US 3G networks: "Speeds up to 7.2 Mbit/s are  available in most markets. Areas that use UMTS instead of HSUPA as the uplink  protocol are limited to 1.8 Mbit/s speeds."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An earlier update to this  article indicated that the current iPhone 3G used Infineon's X-GOLD 608 platform  and could apparently support faster speeds, based on comments made by  &lt;em&gt;iFixIt&lt;/em&gt;, which correctly identified a power management chip designed to  be used with that platform, but did not state that all the platform's chips  (which can support 7.2Mbit/s networks) were being used in the iPhone 3G. They  apparently are not.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4507978155390832595-6426177226991196707?l=shop-nano.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shop-nano.blogspot.com/feeds/6426177226991196707/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://shop-nano.blogspot.com/2009/03/apples-2009-iphone-to-support-faster-3g.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4507978155390832595/posts/default/6426177226991196707'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4507978155390832595/posts/default/6426177226991196707'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shop-nano.blogspot.com/2009/03/apples-2009-iphone-to-support-faster-3g.html' title='Apple&apos;s 2009 iPhone to support faster 3G networks - report'/><author><name>nano-shop</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11043651378375031145</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9XZBdvRBiDI/Scvw2SqtQII/AAAAAAAAAAM/uEDRRDpYEBE/s72-c/iphonenetwork090320.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
