Unfortunately Apple’s iPhone isn’t coming out until this summer, but in the meantime, those of you with Motorola RAZRs can make your phone look fairly close to an iPhone using an Apple iPhone theme for the Motorola RAZR. It is available for download here with instructions on installing it can be found here.
For those who don’t have a video editing program or need to edit video in a flash, jumpcut is a really spectacular website. Using Flash, it allows you to upload video clips (up to 50 MB a clip) and edit them online. With its editing features, video can be cloned and other clips can be added to the cloned video. Sound files can be added to either overwrite existing audio or mix in with it. They also allow a number of transition effects. It is completely free and very cool.
We’ve all heard of Skype, the internet telephone software that allows you to make calls to landlines (now no longer free, however). It’s great, but in order to use it, you need to install some software. Gizmo Call improves on this by allowing you to make free VOIP calls from your PC using nothing more than your browser and a microphone. You only need to install a small Flash plugin and you’re allowed five minutes of calling per day unless you register, which bumps you up to 10 minutes. There’s the option of purchasing more minutes after that.
Also, sorry if that’s your phone number. I just typed in a random number that probably doesn’t exist.

At its September 12 media event today, Apple updated its line of iPods, introduced iTunes 7, and delivered the first movie sales through the iTunes Store. The 60GB 5G iPod has been upgraded to 80GB, while prices have come down $50 for each model to $249 and $349. The 5G iPod also features a brighter display, the ability to control the level of brightness, improved battery life, new earphones, gapless playback, and the ability to play games. The 2G iPod nano remains available at the same three price points, ($149, $199, and $249) but capacities have been doubled across the board, to 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB. In addition, the new nano features an aluminum enclosure similar to the iPod mini, except much smaller and thinner. The iPod shuffle is now available in only 1GB priced at $79, but is available in a smaller, aluminum button-sized enclosure.
iTunes 7 includes a number of enhancements, including support for iTunes Music Store account holders to automatically add album artwork to any MP3s that are missing it. Along with that, new views allow you to browse your music collection by artwork, as if flipping through a physical CD collection. Apple also added movie sales to the iTunes Store, with 75 titles available today from various Disney studios. Movie sales are available at a resolution of 640×480, encoded with the H.264 video codec, and television shows have been increased as well to the same resolution, a four-fold increase from the previous 320×240 size.
You can check out the new iPods at the Apple Store.
