Anyone who likes touchscreen phones should be excited; the biggest brand in the game has waded in with not one, but TWO mobile phones: the sleek Nokia 5800 and the completely awesome Nokia N97.

Early Nokia touchscreens

Most people seem to be under the false impression that the Nokia 5800 is the first touchscreen phone to wear the Nokia label. It’s not. Actually, there have been a few touch-based phones released under the Nokia name. Starting with the 7700, there have been a few Nokia mobile phones that are controlled by you prodding and poking the screen. They all shared pretty big touchscreens, but there was a feature they had in common:

Unfortunately, they were all irredeemably awful.

Just one of those handsets, the 6708, showed a modicum potential, but that was destined solely to be sold in China, and thus, it never saw the light of day in these sceptred isles. Unfortunately, that meant that the phones we got were total, and complete toss. However, these unpleasant mental images have now been removed because of the debut of two new Nokia mobile phones, both of which have touchscreens, and both of which are much, much more alluring…

Nokia 5800 – music for the soul

The first phone up is a totally new member of Nokia’s Xpress family of music mobile phones, the stunning Nokia 5800. This phone is very obviously made for music and video; you can tell by the separate XpressMusic touch-key that brings up a list of links to music, videos, the web, and more. Then, of course, the Nokia 5800 has a 3.2 inch touch-sensitive display, to actually play with those different media content.

Basically, the Nokia 5800 was designed to be a teeny portable jukebox and movie player, and as music phones go, this is just about the prettiest. The Nokia 5800 has also got a 3 megapixel camera, HSDPA data connection and GPS, making it a wonderful all-rounder, in addition to being a superb media box. Oh, and it has a strap to fasten on a fake guitar plectrum. That’s pretty cool, that. Despite all those features, the Nokia 5800 is very definitely a mid-range device; it’s not, nor was it ever meant to be, a full-on top-end monster. That position goes to a separate device…

Nokia N97 – mind-blowing mobile computer

With the Nokia 5800 on course to bring touch-based mobile phones to the mid-range market, that leaves a great big gap at the absolute top-end, and yes, there IS a touch-based mobile phone waiting to be unleashed to take its place as the top-end powerhouse: the frankly jaw-dropping Nokia N97. This uses the same Symbian S60 Touch interface seen in the 5800, and crams it inside the frame of a proper, full-on smartphone. So it has a massive, 3.5 inch screen, a flip out QWERTY keypad, and the camera now weighs in at a meaty 5 megapixels. The Nokia N97 is, obviously, destined to be the new flagship Nseries mobile phone, and it’s genuinely as hyper-powered as we’d heard from rumours, with HSDPA, sat-nav, digital compass, and built-in Flash, so that you get an internet experience like no other mobile phones! Put simply the Nokia N97 is simple incredible. It easily outdoes other mobile phones and while the Nokia 5800 aims firmly for the mid-range, I’m predicting that the Nokia N97 will totally DOMINATE the world in 2009!

YouTube.com is a great resource. YouTube allows users to freely upload, view, and even share video clips on your blog or web site. Now the new iPad is a much better device to videos on than any previous version of the iPod and iPhone, there are many people curious about how to get their YouTube video files into a format that the iPad can play. Thankfully, there are a slew of sites and software packages that will allow you to convert just about any video format to the H.264 mp4 format that iPad requires.

Here are the best solutions for converting YouTube video to iPad online as well as off. Some will convert video you have on your local Mac computer while others will only convert videos that you find online. In any case, you will wind up with a video file in the correct format for your iPad or other mobile device.

Online sites to easily download and convert YouTube for iPad
CatchYouTube is a free service that converts online videos to several formats including the MP4 format that you need for Apple devices. Simply paste the video URL from sites like YouTube, Google video, MetaCafe, etc. and selects the .mp4 output format.

While the service is extremely simple to use, it must be mentioned that it can take an eternity sometimes for this service to convert even the smallest video. Sometimes it just times out or fails without any explanations. Still, most of the time it will do the trick if you want to do a quick conversion or two. For more than a handful, you’ll be better off with another solution that handles batch processing.

VideoDownloader is similar to CacthYouTube except it doesn’t provide you with any output options. What you see is what you get when you download the video from the services they support: YouTube, Google, BlipTV, DailyMotion and a few others. So, if you can’t download the video .mp4 format, you’ll have to convert it with another separate utility which isn’t a big deal or expense.

Movavi Online Convert is another online video converter that provides the unique ability to download and convert up to five different online videos as one video. You can add all of the URLs and the service will send you an email with a link to download when it’s done. It could take a long time, so it’s not good if you’re in a hurry.
 
Software to batch download and convert YouTube for iPad
There are a few software that focus on downloading and converting YouTube videos on Mac. For example, there’s the iFunia YouTube Converter for Mac that downloads YouTube videos and converts them to the appropriate iPad MPeg-4 H.264 format for you. The program also features a handy batch mode which allows you to download several YouTube videos at one time, making this process more efficient. Here are the easy steps for Mac users how to use the product.

Step 1. Launch and add YouTube URL to iFunia YouTube Downloader for Mac
Download iFunia YouTube Converter for Mac and open the tool. Click “Add URL” button to add YouTube URL. There is the field for a Video URL, the field for an output path. Simply copy-n-paste a YouTube or Google URL to the Video URL field. The URL looks like: http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=uTJAsZP2iLk. And then specify a directory on your computer to save the output FLV files. Note that you can only add one video URL at one time. But you’re able to add multiple videos for download by repeating this step.

Step 2. Download YouTube videos

There are also various output settings like bitrate, channel, framerate, resolution, etc. Personally, I prefer to stick with the default profile because the good video and audio quality given by the program. You just have to pick and choose which profile you want to keep on your iPad. Play around and see which results you like best.

How to Copy YouTube Videos to iPad via iTunes
After converting all your YouTube FLV videos to the appropriate video format for your iPad, you’ll need to store them on your computer in the right place so that iTunes can do its job and copy the videos to your device. The best thing to do is create a new folder on your system called, for example, iPad Videos, and copy the newly converted videos to that folder. You can also get into the habit of converting new videos straight to that folder to save steps and time later on.

Once you have your videos in one place, simply launch iTunes, click on the Movies icon and click the File menu. Select Add Folder to Library, and then select the new iPad Videos folder that you created. iTunes will then suck in all of the videos that it finds in that folder.

Click on your iPad under DEVICES and select the Video Tab. Then Enable the Sync Movies option, and select all of the videos that you want to copy to your iPad. You can pick and choose which ones you want at any time.

The next time you sync, all of the videos you selected will be copied to your iPad. You can view them by launching the iPod app on your iPad and selecting the video option.

Conclusion
This was just a sampling of the many cool tools out there that can help you download and convert YouTube FLV videos into a format that you can use on your iPad. In most cases, you can do so for free. However, some of the premium packages and services appear to be well worth their nominal fees when you consider everything they provide. In any case, you can enjoy any of your favorite YouTube videos on the new iPad. Well, if you wanna convert M2TS/MTS, MOD, TOD and HD or more to iPad supported formats, you can go to iFunia iPad video converter, which my friend highly recommended to me.

Apple’s iPhone could stir the world even before its launch by virtue of publicity and as it reached peoples’ palms it could surprise them with its fully tactile interface and chic look. People really enjoyed the gadget’s fresh features particularly those offering a silky route to the web. Later iPhone 2.0 and iPhone 3G brought in more fascinating features making the posh gadget tone in more with its price and fame. Even with all its novelties people could not really relish the entire technological liberty that iPhone is capable to provide – AT&T’s monopoly as its only carrier and Apple’s domineering attitude over the range of applications (even after facilitating SDK) have kept iPhone away from being an unfettered hub of barrage of applications.

Unlocking iPhone is the way to resolve all the bars. The iPhone unlocking softwares are there to unlock iPhones in minutes and you are then free from the exclusivity of AT&T…… you can choose to use any operator using the GSM network technology. And what’s more, tons of applications – music, movies, games, e-books, contents and other softwares – are at your service. The iPhone unlocking solutions can unlock the latest iPhones and the state-of-the–art softwares can unlock iPhone 3G as well. Besides, the iPhone unlocking softwares handles various software versions of the iPhone with equal ease. They can unlock iPhone 2.0, unlock iPhone 2.0.1 and unlock iPhone 2.0.2 and other software versions in use. And for all these iPhone unlocking, you do not very shrewdly know how to unlock iPhone…… a pre-built iPhone unlocking solution itself executes all the functions…you just need to follow the guidelines stated for a few minutes.

While a good unlocking software can bring to you numerous fresh applications a wrong software can even ruin your $400 phone. There are gorgeous ads of such iPhone unlocking solutions all around you but in reality only a few would give you your desired outcome. For that it’s wise to take the toil for finding an authentic and right software for iPhone unlock. Take notice of these facts while deciding for an iPhone unlocking software:

· Do not prefer free or cheap softwares as in most of the cases these are unlikely to take care of the unlocking job well

· Do not trust any message sent to your iPhone claiming to offer downloadable software for unlocking your phone. In most of the cases, you’d download viruses damaging your phone or some kind of spyware spying into your phone usage.

· Make sure that the solution that you wish to buy is not a one-time service. If you can not update the software with the change of the firmware versions your purchase will not be much cost-effective. So, make sure you will be able to update it.

A few very reputable sites offer free downloads of music, movies, tv shows and stuffs like these upon buying their softwares. Besides, they

Many people, especially those who are involved in business, will recognize the BlackBerry on sight, as it is one of the few smartphones that is recognizable by brandname. What the BlackBerry does is combine a cellphone, PDA, laptop and camera into a handheld mobile device. For the real estate agent who is juggling a full schedule of home showings, client appointments, MLS monitoring and more, it may just be the ideal co-ordinator of one’s working and personal life.

What do you do all day? You have appointments for home showings, the office, you have stuff you have to get done, you have papers that need filing and a hundred other little tasks that can pile up and be forgotten if they aren’t brought to your attention. You’re on the road a lot to appointments, seminars, lunches, etc. Maybe you have to keep track of a lot of clients and colleagues. You may have a family, which will mean that you need to make sure that you’re there for them when they need you. You need a portable system that’s easy to use, but is also powerful enough to help you do all of this.

The BlackBerry allows you to sync your computer calendar/organizer with the Blackberry software. If you use Google Calendar or one of many other popular calendar/organizer software, your BlackBerry can update it as well as downloading information changes. This makes it easy to ensure that all of your appointments and reminders, including the ones you note on the fly are sent to where you will be able to see them when you are planning your schedule. While small, the keyboard for a BlackBerry is functional enough to support fairly quick data input.

Need to get to an address? BlackBerry Maps can help you by pinpointing your location with the BlackBerry GPS and showing you where the address you’re seeking is on a map. You can plan a route or get driving directions to wherever you’re going.

The constant connection to the Internet offered by most BlackBerry plans can be ideal for the busy agent, who is nowhere near an office, a computer and/or WiFi, to search the MLS and email clients. There is no more waiting to get back to the office; with a BlackBerry, the office comes with you. While not as powerful or as versatile on the Internet as a true laptop, the BlackBerry is more than capable of getting the essentials out immediately. The BlackBerry also supports MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, BlackBerry Messenger and Google Talk for realtime conversations.

Need to send a picture of a property or feature? The BlackBerry has a camera with zoom capability. The Internet connection makes it easy and fast to send said picture to Facebook, email or Flickr. If your clients are asking about what something looks like, you don’t have to tell them – you can show them!

One of the most exciting features that BlackBerry is going to offer to Realtors is the eKEY from BlackBerry’s parent company, Research in Motion (RIM). The eKEY will retrieve data directly from the MLS and enable users to search by ID number, address or buyers’ profiles. Google Maps is connected so that listings can be viewed on a map. Contact information is constantly updated, so that you can contact other agents, no matter what company they are working for. Users can also get real-time notifications on home showings and the agent(s) representing the homes being shown.

All the bells and whistles that this little machine offers are perfect to help out Realtors on the move. If you’re looking at changing your phone and wondering what would suit you best, check out the BlackBerry. It is a great solution to some of the problems of an “on the go” career.
