Quick Tip: How-To Email Multiple Images with your iPhone

When I bought my iPhone 3G a year ago, I noticed that I could not email more than one image at a time...this quickly became one of most annoying things to me on my iPhone. I figured if every other "dumb" and smartphone could do it, surely the 'ALMIGHTY' iPhone could to, well that wasn't the case....until now.

Since the iPhone 3.0 update my multiple image email delight has come true, well...sort of. You can now send FIVE (5) images from your iPhone with the software update and here is how...

1. From your iPhone home screen, tap on "Photos".


2. Tap the arrow on the bottom left of the screen.


3. Select the photos you want to share (when you tap them it will add red check marks in the corner of each picture you want to send)


4. Tap "Share". If share is not highlighted as an option, you've selected more than five (5) images and the iPhone will not allow you to share them, but you can delete them this way.


5. Tap "Email".
   


6. The email will now automatically attach the images and you can send your email.
   

That's it really! Now I'm waiting for MMS...

iPhone 3.0 OS is out, what does this mean to you?

So after all of the recent iPhone news, including news about yet another new iPhone, why you should care about any of it and what exactly should concern you?

Well, I've BRIEFLY detailed why the new iPhone OS should matter to those that don't plan on getting the new iPhone and how to update to the latest version...Let's do it!

If you are enjoying your current iPhone you are most likely running iPhone OS 2.0. Well, after all of the recent iPhone news - the new software for the iPhone has just been released.

So why does this new iPhone software matter to you?

Because you have new features and better iPhone performance silly, that's why lol! No seriously, there have been numerous updates that have really helped make the iPhone a better tool. I have listed a few of the new and most important features below:

• Spotlight Search - basically you go to the absolute first screen on your iPhone (even before the first screen with the pre-installed iPhone apps) and you can search your entire iPhone. This feature was already included the Macs but is very helpful on the iPhone.


• Built-in landscape keyboard


• Messages


• Voice Memos- will probably remove the need for any BASIC third party voice memo apps


• and of course the infamous CUT, COPY, and PASTE

Who can take advantage of the new software?

Any iPhone or iPod user who updates. iPhone users get the update for FREE and iPod users pay a $10 update fee - http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/softwareupdate.html (whomp whomp).

What is the difference between updating my iPhone software and buying the new iPhone 3G S?

Well your new iPhone 3G S will have:

• Improved Performance


• Built-in video camera with editing


• Voice Control


• Compass ^{- I can't wait to see the apps besides the new Tom Tom nav app that will utlize this tool, I personallly don't get it besides this app. Only time will tell}
  

How do I get the new iPhone software?

Getting the newest iPhone software is almost as easy as plug and play. I have included a link on detailed software update directions here:  How-To Update your iPhone Software .

That's it for now my friends, I hope this helps!

Quick-Tip: Separate your BlackBerry SMS messages from your Email

Your BlackBerry has just buzzed and you think it's an email alert. It's listed under your email messages and it's subject almost looks like an email, but...it is not. It is a SMS message and somehow it has intruded your email messages list. Ok...well, an "intrusion" is a bit of an overstatement (I must admit) but it certainly doesn't belong in your email list, right? Absolutely! So let's learn how to move those SMS messages to their proper place, shall we?

First...

1. From your BlackBerry's main screen, open your "Messages"  application.  (The app  that has all of those precious emails listed)


2. Click on the BlackBerry menu button and select "Options".


3. From this menu, click on "General Options".


4. Scroll all the way down this list until you locate "SMS and Email Inboxes".


5. From the drop down select "Separate".


6. Press your BlackBerry back button to save your changes and BINGO!

Your email and SMS messages are now automatically separated on the BlackBerry, instead of cluttering your email folders. This should help you keep your BlackBerry organized.

Now that wasn't so bad was it? If you have any questions, comment,  or just need additional help leave it in the comments.

Why Apple Should Reinvent SpotLight

There's no doubt that launchers are a great thing: instead of moving you mouse or right-clicking, you can simply use your keyboard to perform actions.



There's Mozilla Ubiquity, this amazing extension everyone's talking about which allows you to create your own shortcuts to browse the web "faster and smarter"; there's QuickSilver, a lightweight Mac app which is very useful in order to launch applications in about 2 seconds; then, there's Apple's Spotlight.

Spotlight allows you to find anything on your Mac: from files to applications, you can just launch it via keyboard shortcut and start searching. But there's a big problem in my opinion: interface.
I mean, it's a column.

While Spotlight shows a great potential in finding stuff, it surely lacks in user interface experience, presenting its results in way-too-simple column view which should enable the users to distinguish files from directories. Sure. There are some preferences, this is true, but even if you restrict your Spotlight settings to Apps, Folders and Documents, there's still this ugly list view which is so old.

So what should Apple do to improve Spotlight? I think that together with vertical space, Spotlight should use horizontal space as well: instead of having dozens of results in a vertical display (Documents is under Applications which is under Top Hit which is under Show All) it could put Categories in a horizontal view  and then the results under each categories so that we could have a quick glimpse of all the things we have found instead of having to look at the bottom of the list.

Anyway we'll know more in a few days with WWDC. Let's hope Spotlight will be reinvented.
