			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Youtube is an extremely popular site that allows users to upload videos and share them with the world.  Some experts think that Youtube will eventually overtake TV in popularity.  Did you know that you can get videos from Youtube to iPhone screens for viewing?</p>
<p>The Safari web browser includes a special application for viewing Youtube videos.  The player launches directly from the Home screen and gives you easy access to your video favorites.  Options within the player include rewind, fast forward and a slider to go to a specific place in a video.</p>
<p>If you want to email a Youtube video, you are in luck.  The iPhone can quickly create an email<br />
with a link to the Youtube video included.</p>
<p>Videos on the iPhone display nicely as compared to some other smartphones, so you do not have to worry about not being able to clearly see the picture.  Videos can even be viewed in wide screen on the iPhone.</p>
<p>The Youtube to iPhone feature is one of the most popular applications on the iPhone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Internet lovers enjoy net surfing even when they are on the go.  Surfing the Internet via iPhone offers some unique features when compared with other smartphones.</p>
<p>Connectivity is provided either by GSM/EDGE or WiFi.  Full HTML and Javascript are supported.  Websites have been developed that cater specifically to the iPhone user or most other websites should be accessible from the iPhone.</p>
<p>Some other smartphones require the user to use a magnifying glass to read webpages.  The iPhone includes the Safari web browser that allows you to zoom in on webpages for easier viewing.  You can tap the Multi-Touch touchscreen using your finger to see the webpages the way that you would like.</p>
<p>Web Clips allow iPhone users to create links to their favorite websites on the iPhone's home screen.  Up to nine home screen pages can be created and used to organize web clips by category such as personal and business.</p>
<p>The Internet via iphone using Safari offers one of the best browsing experiences currently available on a smartphone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not long ago, cell phones were used primarily for making telephone calls.  Now, many cell phone users want messaging functionality as well.  In fact, some people message considerably more than they talk on the phone.  This is where the iPhone SMS application comes in handy.</p>
<p>Messages are displayed within the SMS application as an ongoing chat.  This makes it easy to pick up a conversation at the place where you left off.  You can easily scroll through the messages with one flick of your finger.  If messaging is no longer cutting it, a call button allows you to instantly telephone the person that you are messaging.  </p>
<p>With many cell phones, texting can be difficult when trying to use a standard phone keypad.  Mistakes are frequently the result.   The iPhone SMS application comes with an on-screen QWERTY keyboard that along with making typing easier, also includes the ability to search for typos as you are texting and fix them.</p>
<p>Yet another great feature is the ability to send the same message to as many contacts you would like at the same time.  This can be very useful for planning meetings or parties.</p>
<p>The iPhone SMS application gives users the ability to send and view text messages with ease.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not long ago, making your favorite tunes portable involved carting along a CD player or an MP3 player.   iPhone music capabilities allow you to have your tunes available right on your phone.</p>
<p>Finding that tune you want to play is a breeze as you can easily browse your albums, artists, playlists or songs using one finger.  The Cover Flow feature makes it a snap to find albums by the cover artwork.</p>
<p>The iTunes store has a huge selection of music and even audiobooks available that you can purchase and download to your device.  If your music has been downloaded from iTunes, you can display the lyrics on your screen as the song is being played.  You have your own mini karaoke machine!</p>
<p>For those that like to have their iPhone music available all the time and do not want to carry several devices with them constantly, the iPhone is the perfect choice blending cell phone, smartphone, and music player into one small package.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever gotten lost when in a new locale?  Stopping for directions can be embarrassing or even downright dangerous.  iPhone GPS on the 3G will help you easily get to your destination.</p>
<p>The maps application uses WiFi, GPD and cell tower location to locate your position.  Besides retrieving your location, you can find landmarks or other places such as restaurants by a keyword search.</p>
<p>To get directions, you only have to type in an address and select 'get directions.'  Select 'start' and your vehicle location will be represent by a flashing blue dot.  The dot moves as your vehicle moves.   You can easily switch between different views including map, satellite, and a hybrid view that includes both.</p>
<p>You also have the ability to access live traffic information which gives speeds along your route in different colors.  </p>
<p>In the same way as Google maps our computer, maps on iPhone lets you switch between map view, satellite view, and a hybrid view of both. You can get live traffic information, showing traffic speed along your route in easy-to-read green, red, and yellow highlights.</p>
<p>One feature that is not present is voice commands that for example, tells you to turn at a certain time.  Users that have become accustomed to this feature on other GPS devices may find this to be a deal breaker.</p>
<p><strong>iPhone GPS</strong> on the 3G is an extremely useful application that will help keep you from getting lost ever again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One way to individualize your iPhone is by finding a distinctive ringtone.  Not only can you show off your taste or humor, but you can also can distinguish the sound of your cell phone ringing in a crowd of people.</p>
<p>You will find many song options from which to choose but you can also use your imagination to make your ringtone even more special.  Some download sites allow you to add customization including loop and fade in and out.  You can preview your new creation before you actually buy it to make sure that it is just the way you want.</p>
<p>You can also get software for the Mac called GarageBand that allows you to create a customized ringtone from music tracks.</p>
<p>If you want to be even more creative, you can assign a different ringtone to each person on your contact list.  Animal sounds can be great like assigning your ex to the sound of a donkey braying or your mother-in-law to a cat hissing (or make that a meowing cat if your like her).</p>
<p>Find your special sounds at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.phonedownloadhub.com/?hop=coparent" rel="no follow">iPhone ringtones</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Iphones are extremely popular right now.  While packed with features, can they meet the needs of a user of a Windows Mobile or Palm smartphone?</p>
<p>Iphones truly shine at offering entertainment options such as the ability to play music and surf the Internet.  Smartphones are known for their personal information management and communication capabilities.  </p>
<p>One critical feature for many smartphone users is the ability to view and edit Microsoft office documents.  Unfortunately, iPhones do not offer this feature.   iPhones also do not have a removable battery which can make them impractical for long trips.  The iPhone does have some personal information management capabilities although not to the extent of many applications for the Palm or Windows Mobile platform.  </p>
<p>For users who only need basic personal information management capability and plenty of entertainment options, an iPhone may be the perfect device.  Smartphone users who actually use the devices for business purposes will probably be better served by a more robust device.</p>

<p>(<b>Research</b><br />First, research prices for the item that you want.  You will need to check retail prices and also the selling prices for completed auctions.  Be sure to note the condition of the items that sold as this can have a great effect on the ending price.  This should give you an idea of the price you are willing to pay.  Unfortunately, online auction sellers are out there who charge retail prices and even more to less than savvy consumers</p>
<p><b>Know the Shipping Price</b><br />
Before bidding, be sure to check the shipping price.  Placing bids on auctions where the shipping price is not listed is not advisable since you could get a shock at auction's end.  Either contact the seller for the cost, or only bid on listings where the shipping cost is given or a shipping calculator is provided.  Be sure that the shipping method is acceptable as you may not want first class mail used for a pricey item or have to wait for weeks on end for something to come by parcel post.</p>
<p><b>Find the Feedback Rating</b><br />
You will also need to check the seller's feedback rating as you want someone who has a high rating.  A few negative ratings are not uncommon, especially with large sellers, but the overall score should be high.  Also, make sure that the seller has made many sales as some fradulent sellers will buy a bunch of items to get a good feedback rating and then turn around and rip off people when the finally list auctions of their own.</p>
<p><b>Use an Escrow Service for Large Purchases</b><br />
Escrow services can act as a middleman between you and the seller if you are concerned about sending large sums of money to an unknown seller.  Using Paypal can also offer some protection.</p>
<p><b>Verify the Item is Geniune</b><br />
Check the auction description to see if the seller has stated if the item is genuine.  A huge number of reproductions and fakes are on the market, and a good sign that an item is not for real is if the seller does not make not of this in their listing.</p>
<p>By following the above tips, you are likely to have a good buying experience and get the best PDA deals.</p>
