My mate Andrew thought my last post was a bit technical for him, and fair enough— it was something of limited value to some of my readers. So this post is for him.

Andrew asked how he could create a ringtone for his new iPhone. He knew it was possible, but it’s really not straight forward (in Australia at least, elsewhere iTunes has this functionality built in). So I’ve whipped up this little tutorial for him to remind him how to do it.

I have a small dilemma.

I want to upgrade my media viewing so that I can access all the digital media I have on my various computers, including photos, iTunes music and downloaded movies. At the moment I have a standard definition PVR for recording TV, a DVD player and my Television. All my content is on a Mac Mini in another room.

You can deny it, or call me a fanboy, but let’s be honest— Apple has made a very good (and attractive) product that has stomped on the competition. It’s easy to use, powerful and extensible. And it’s done something the competition hasn’t been able to— captured the imagination of content providers like nothing else. The Windows Mobile platform has been around for years with a handfull of tools for it, but it took only six months for half the web (I’m exaggerating) to make iPhone compatible websites and tools. I’ve got to believe that’s due to having a decent platform, rather than rampant fanboyism.

But the iPhone isn’t perfect. What follows is a list of a few things I would like to see for and on my iPhone. Before I start, can I just clarify so I don’t get interrupted in my flow: Anything I ask for I’d like as a native iPhone app, through the App Store— not some Jailbroken app that’s going to require me to tinker.

A quick obligatory post using the new Wordpress iPhone app. Useful, and might mean more frequent personal posts. Missing Zemanta and the Flickr Photo Gallery plugin for quick links and Flickr integration. Can’t seem to easily link to those two useful tools for instance. I might use it to post about things in the “real world” as they happen.

I’m writing this, my 100^th post, from my iPhone. It’s making me dizzy, as the screen jumps with every key press. I may not do this again till there is a native iphone app to do it with.

Congratulations to me anyway.
