Visit the original article at <a href="http://www.rl-digital.com/2008/wordpress-for-iphone/">http://www.rl-digital.com/2008/wordpress-for-iphone/</a>.<br /><p>Here&#8217;s a preview of the soon to be released WordPress for iPhone application from the team at <a href="http://automattic.com/" class="extlink">Automattic</a>. The new application will let you blog and edit articles on your iPhone. It supports WordPress.com blogs as well as self-hosted WordPress blogs running version 2.5.1 or newer.</p>

<p>The application is necessary because blogging using only the iPhone&#8217;s Safari browser is nearly impossible because of the keyboard layout. The ability to insert photos into posts directly from the iPhone camera will come in very handy.</p>
<p>The WordPress for iPhone application is Open Source and will be available from the <a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/appstore/" class="extlink">iPhone App store</a> for free. </p>

Especially, the bushed metal back? Try a customized iPhone by <a href="http://www.colorwarepc.com/products/Select_Iphone.aspx" class="extlink">ColorWare</a>. ColorWare<sup id="citation-113-1" class="footnote"><a href="#footnote-113-1">1</a></sup> is already known for its high-end laptop and iPod custom paint jobs. Now you can send them your iPhone for a fresh coat of paint and have it back in 8-10 business days. Or, buy a colored version directly from them. Either way, you have a choice of 18 metallic colors or 11 solid colors. </p>
<p>You can pick different colors for the iPhone back, bottom, frame, button, and Apple logo. Even optional ear buds and <a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/accessories/" class="extlink">iPhone dock</a> can be colored. With all the choices, the chances of running into someone with an identical color scheme are slim! </p>
<p>Cool paint jobs are available for other Apple products including iPods, iBooks/MacBooks, Powerbook/MacBook Pro, and Desktops. Be aware that coloring services are not available via international orders. <!--apple iphone--></p>

Visit the original article at <a href="http://www.rl-digital.com/2007/blending-an-iphone/">http://www.rl-digital.com/2007/blending-an-iphone/</a>.<br /><p>I must admit. This a great marketing ploy by Utah-based <a href="http://www.blendtec.com/" class="extlink">Blendtec</a>. Putting an iPhone in an <a href="http://www.blendtec.com/productDetails.aspx?id=28" class="extlink">Total Tabletop Blender</a>. They have set-up and a separate website called <a href="http://www.willitblend.com/" class="extlink">WillitBlend</a> and even an <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/Apple-iPhone-and-Blendtec-Total-Blender_W0QQitemZ170129995323QQihZ007QQcategoryZ64355QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" class="extlink">eBay auction</a> to sell the ground-up iPhone. The video made it on the front page of Digg within 30 minutes after it was posted. </p>
<p>Previously, Blendtec has destroyed Transformers toys and a can of Easy Cheese. The company said they received special requests to blend an iPhone. Watch Tom Dickson&#8217;s now famous video.</p>

<p><!--more--></p>
<p>My recommendation is to go on over to eBay and get a <a href="http://www.iphone-auctions.info/" class="extlink">good deal on a iPhone</a>. But don&#8217;t blend it. Enjoy it. One blended iPhone is enough! A blender? Well, get one if you need one.</p>

Visit the original article at <a href="http://www.rl-digital.com/2007/treo-smartphone/">http://www.rl-digital.com/2007/treo-smartphone/</a>.<br /><p><span style="float:left;padding:4px;"><img src="http://www.rl-digital.com/images_blog/Treo-680.jpg" alt="Treo 680 Smartphone" /></span>The most anticipated gadget of the year, Apple&#8217;s iPhone, will go on sale on June 29 in Apple [[AAPL]] and AT&#038;T [[T]] stores across America. Analysts are confident Apple will hit its target of selling 10 million phones by the end of next year. I am sure no self-respecting 16-25 year-old will be caught without an iPhone. However, if you&#8217;re a professional think again.</p>
<p>The iPhone is a SIM-locked phone<sup id="citation-107-1" class="footnote"><a href="#footnote-107-1">1</a></sup>. It only works on AT&#038;T&#8217;s GSM network (formerly Cingular)<sup id="citation-107-2" class="footnote"><a href="#footnote-107-2">2</a></sup>. If you live in an area where AT&#038;T coverage is weak, you are out-of-luck! What about roaming? Yes, AT&#038;T&#8217;s network allows roaming on local GSM networks. However, this service can be very expensive especially internationally. </p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>My overall favorite Smartphone is the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000KHF7ZQ/expresstech-20" class="extlink">Palm Treo 680</a>. It&#8217;s available SIM-unlocked, has a full QWERTY keyboard, email client, threaded SMS, and supports a host of 3rd party business applications. You want push email from IMAP accounts &#8211; no problem just install BlackBerry Connectâ„¢. The Treo&#8217;s changeable lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 4 hours of talk time, and up to 300 hours of standby time. The Treo 680 works on the 850/900/1800/1900 GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies.</p>
<p>Is international roaming really important? According to <a href="http://talkback.zdnet.com/5208-11408-0.html?forumID=1&#038;threadID=29011&#038;messageID=540073&#038;start=-9956" class="extlink">ZDnet.com</a>, 90% of mobile phone users don&#8217;t care about international roaming. I am sure the figure is different for professionals. With a SIM-unlocked Smartphone, you can easily change the SIM card. Local disposable SIM cards are readily available overseas especially in Asia. Just pop one into your Treo Smartphone and you&#8217;re all set!</p>

<p id="footnote-107-1"><sup><a href="#citation-107-1">1</a></sup> Rumors are that Cingular supplies SIM unlock codes on-demand after three months of use. Still, I am sure the Cingular plan has a hefty cancellation fee if you think that&#8217;s an easy way to get a SIM-unlocked iPhone.</p>
<p id="footnote-107-2"><sup><a href="#citation-107-2">2</a></sup> Cingular is one of the smaller mobile network operators. Current estimations suggest that Cingular is the 10th largest mobile network operator in the world, with a subscriber base of approx. 59 million users.</p>

<p>Leopard is scheduled to ship in October<sup id="citation-106-2" class="footnote"><a href="#footnote-106-2">2</a></sup>, although no firm date has been given yet. Leopard was first mentioned in June 2005, Apple [[AAPL]] CEO Steve Jobs had stated that Apple intended to release Leopard at the end of 2006 or early 2007. A year later, the ship date was revised to &#8220;Spring 2007&#8243;. Then on April 12 of this year, Apple issued a statement that Leopard&#8217;s release would be delayed until October 2007 because of the development of the iPhone.</p>
