Any iPhone news readers know what this is...I do...

After some digging on Google, I searched for the company that is allegedly attempting to create some type of GPS module. From other articles they are saying it is slated for a February release. The company is called parts foundry.
There are many questions I have about this product. If they expect to team up with 3rd party developers before the SDK then they should be ready to have big issues.

I will post updates as I find them.

Make your own ringtones and APPLE is cool with it.

Apple has provided the ability to make your own ringtones.


Connect your iPhone. Open GarageBand. Create a track using Apple's loops or compose an entire song on your own. (The possibilities are sort of endless here and opens the floodgates for highly inappropriate ringtones.) Click on the "Share" tab, and under it is a selection called "Send Ringtone to iTunes". Click that, and it lets you select a 10-second loop of your track, mixes it, and sends it to iTunes. Once you've done that, simply sync your iPhone and voila! You've created your own ringtone.

After you sync, you can go into the iPhone's settings and choose the newly added ringtone as your ringer. It appears in a separate list from the official Apple ringtones, called "Custom."

The one caveat is that this will work only for users of Apple computers. GarageBand is part of the iLife suite of applications and is not available on Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) Windows machines.
