vuey, that was the first thing I tryd. In theory it seems easy but for some reason the majority of the time the ring tones refuse to sync to your phone. I converted about 10-15 different songs into the mp4 files or what ever they are and out of all those files, using the exact same process for some reason only one file actually managed to make it onto my phone so I gave up. and Ive downloaded a bunch of programs but they all turn out to be shareward ones that only allow you to capture the first 10 seconds
That's weird.....

Well best to go to option 2 and just download them from the website I listed above works 100% everytime . I currently got "thunderstruck" by AC-DC as my ringtone .

Was having a fiddle with my mates ipad lastnight, pretty cool gadget, but it looks like his laptop is going to be made redundant . I don't think I'd get one just yet.... He got the wifi model and plans on using the iPhone for when he's out an about. One cool thing he did have was a program where he can control his home pc from his ipad and iPhone !

My laptop is standing upright in a stand (you can see it in the iPad photo) attached to a monitor, mouse and keyboard and when I wanted to use it in the lounge room I would disconnect it.

Now that I have the iPad I will only disconnect it when I travel.

Jamie, you realise you have to cut the sample down to less that 40 secs?

Aus, sure do. As i said it worked with one with one ring tone which is the one i currently have on my phone but none of the rest did even though i did the exact same process with every one. I even downloaded a few, one of which worked and ten when i put this new one on the old one vanished. Its bizar. My mate is jail breaking my phone today so that may make a differance

From my understanding if you are using an iphone 3GS you will be fine to upgrade. If you are using a 3G model I don't believe you can.

The article says (and as has been mentioned previously) that the 3G will upgrade to OS4 but multitasking won't be functional. The reason is that the 3G's processor isn't powerful enough.

I don't really think it can do anything a laptop can't. It's just a much more convenient form factor. Think of the locations I listed above. A laptop is not ideally suited to any of those. Can you imagine curling up in bed with the latest e-book you've downloaded with a laptop?

Mind you, a laptop is a far more convenient device for watching a movie as it stand up by itself.
I hate watching movies on the laptop. Too small to put on the dresser at the foot of the bed and too bulky/hot to rest on my chest/lap. I think I'd enjoy the Ipad better.

You can create them with the latest itunes... I could not find the link but it is in one of the menus.... not a very obvious one but it is... The only thing is that you have to edit the song to 30 seconds beforehand (or something like that)
