All of us folks who are lucky enough to already have an iPhone know how much fun they can be just to play around with. Playing with my iPhone a lot myself, I have discovered some cool tips and tricks that you may find useful.

1. If you tap once at the very top of the screen when you are on the internet, it will take you back to the top of the window rather than having to scroll all the way back up. A nice time saving feature.

2. If you set the font to the smallest size, you can read more in the internet window. An advantage of this is that when you want to click a link, you can pinch (expand) that area and the link will come up very large, making it much easier to click.

3. Rather than posting the full address of internet sites in bookmarks, you can post the equivalent RSS address instead into Apple’s RSS reader and save that as your bookmark. This way you can quickly see if there’s anything interesting on your favorite site rather than downloading the whole homepage.

4. If you are writing something and the iPhone flags a word as misspelled that you know is not misspelled, cancel the correction 3 times and the word will be put into the dictionary. If you write a lot, this feature is quite useful!

5. The magnifying glass is a nice iPhone tool when you are typing an email or any other text. If you tap once and hold, a magnifying glass will pop up showing you a zoomed in view of your words and cursor. You can now easily place the cursor wherever you want. This makes editing your writing very easy.

6. You can move icons around, but not on the home screen. You have to go to the ipod section. Go to iPod > More > Edit. Now you can drag your icons all around. This can also be done in the phone section.

7. To reset your iphone, hold down the right button and the “home” front button for about 6 seconds. To power it back on, push the top button. This is different than a regular shutdown, which can be done easily by holding the sleep/wake button for 6 seconds.

8. If you get a lot of spam e-mail or other unwanted e-mail, pay attention to this time saving feature. Add a link to Yahoo mail in Safari bookmarks. From there you can check ‘delete all’ to remove all unwanted e-mails. This is much easier than deleting hundreds of spam e-mails one at a time.

I hope you found these iphone tips helpful. If you have an iPhone and have been wondering how best to fill it up with music and movies, check out Top iPhone Downloads for the latest reviews of iPhone download sites.

The long anticipated release of the Apple iPhone is scheduled for Friday June 29, 2007 at 6pm in each US time zone. The anticipation has been mounting ever since Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, announced the Apple iPhone during his keynote address at Mac World 2007 in San Francisco, CA.

The kind of hype surrounding the iPhone hasn’t been seen for a new product announcement since, well, the Apple iPod. This is really no coincidence, since Steve Jobs is a master at stirring up rabid anticipation around new product launches. It also helps that Apple usually comes up with revolutionary product concepts that wind up changing how the world uses technology. Just think back to the Mac, iPod, and iTunes.

An iPhone prototype was kept in a Plexiglas case at the Mac World show like some sort of religious relic or maybe a talisman from another galaxy. Fascinated attendees swarmed the display case, but could only stare in wonder at the mysteriously beautiful object encased within. Sorry, absolutely no touching was allowed! This was cruelty in the extreme since the allure of the Apple iPhone rests in the pleasure of cradling it in your hands and using your fingers to navigate its touch-sensitive screen.

The Apple iPhone will be released first in the US first, and then in Europe during Q4 2007, followed by Asia in 2008. This is one of the few instances in recent memory where a technologically advanced cell phone is being released in the US before the rest of the world. Eat your heart out Japan!

We’re now seeing a cultural shift where the cell phone has become a fashion accessory. There are fashion shows that prominently feature cell phones along with matching clothing. The extreme in cell phone as status accessory, are gold-plated and diamond encrusted cell phone models selling for thousands.

Cachet is the bottom line. Regardless of the iPhone’s shortcomings, some of which are may prove to be critical, there is no question that the iPhone will be a huge success and demand for it will be off the charts. The demand for the Apple iPhone is already intense and the first shipments will be sure to sell out quickly. The only important question remaining is will the Apple iPhone take its place alongside the Mac and the iPod as iconic products or will it fizzle into obscurity like the Apple Newton and the Cube?

We all have been downloading and playing back high quality audio and video files from the Internet. Though this process is very easy and you can store the data file for later use, it can be exasperating experience at times because the time taken to download a file can be unusually long. Nowadays, streaming video over the network is gaining popularity as an alternate to downloading. Be it an informational, educational or entertainment program, streaming video is becoming a popular mode of transmitting the data.

As broadband connectivity has grown, websites have increased their use of video clips. The term Streaming video refers to the method of one-way transmission of a video in the compressed format through the Internet. Its advantage is that the video is transmitted as a continuous stream, enabling the viewer to play it within a few seconds of requesting it. The data is not saved permanently on the computer and hence does not utilize the precious hard disk space. The viewer would require a player that can uncompress the data and play it through the monitor and the speakers.

Some of the well-known players available in the market are MacroMedia’s Streaming Shockwave, Progressive Network’s RealVideo, Xing Technology’s StreamWorks, VDONet’s VDOLive, Vosaic, Vxtreme, Vivoactive and Microsoft’s NetShow. Streaming video is normally sent from prerecorded video files. However, it can also be distributed as part of a live broadcast “feed.”

In the case of a live broadcast, the video signal is converted into a compressed digital signal and transmitted from a server that has a capability of multicasting i.e. sending the same file to multiple users at the same time. If the streaming video is broadcast live, then it is termed as “real-time video.” However, there is a built-in delay in streaming video due to buffering of the feed.

With the advancement in technology, it is nowadays possible to capture streaming video and store it in the hard disk. One can save live streaming video, streaming news video, streaming movies, streaming music videos etc with the help of a software Stream Recorder. Use of streaming video for videoconferencing is the latest application that is gaining ground. Videoconferencing is more challenging on the network than streaming video. This is because it requires real-time, two-way transmission with enough bandwidth for video coming in and going out at the same time without buffering.

The biggest hurdle that still needs to be overcome is to provide broadband access to all the users. Many users still do not have enough bandwidth to receive streaming video in an acceptable quality
