El Segundo, Calif., Jun. 3, 2007 - In terms of cost, iSuppli Corp.'s
teardown analysis of Apple Inc.'s iPhone offered few surprises, with its
Bill-of-Materials (BoM) closely conforming with our preliminary functional

packed with surprises, with newcomers Infineon Technologies AG, National
Semiconductor Corp. and Balda providing key components in the product -

according to iSuppli's Teardown Analysis service.

version of the iPhone has a total hardware BoM and manufacturing cost of

iPhone: The Missing Manual Sneak Preview
iPhone: The Missing Manual Sneak Preview David Pogue's Favorite iPhone Tricks:
The iPhone's finger-driven interface seems natural and obvious. But when
you really think about it, making it seem that way was no easy task. There
are no menus in the iPhone software, for example, and no checkboxes or
radio buttons. Everything on the screen has to be big enough for a fleshy
fingertip.
On the other hand, the finger makes an outstanding pointing device; heck,
you've been pointing with it all your life. It's much faster to scroll
diagonally with a fingertip, for example, than with fussy adjustments on
two different scroll bars.
Here, then, are some of the iPhone's unadvertised taps, double-taps, and
other shortcuts, all culled from "iPhone: The Missing Manual."

Vancouver, Canada, Jun 29, 2007 -- Mireth Technology Corp. has released
version 4.0 of NetShred X, its easy to use internet track eraser that
erases internet tracks such as cache, history and email. NetShred X runs

was designed to run automatically, without user intervention. And since
erasing temporary internet files can take some time, NetShred X was
designed to run in the background, so using the software doesn't interfere
with the user's web browsing. Most importantly, NetShred X is an effective

Tangerine! 1.2, a magical playlist generator
Potion Factory Releases Tangerine! 1.2, a magical playlist generator
LOS ANGELES, California -- Potion Factory is pleased to announce the
release of Tangerine! 1.2 for Mac OS X. Tangerine! lets you create
playlists of upbeat songs, or playlists for relaxing by analyzing the tempo
and the beat intensity of music.
The latest version of Tangerine! allows users to analyze even their iTunes
Store purchased songs that are protected by DRM (digital rights management).
When you have thousands of songs, the task of managing and creating
playlists can become a daunting one. Thus, the idea for Tangerine! was
conjured up when the developer realized that he was spending more time

playlist or skipping and fumbling over mood-ruining songs in a shuffled
playlist, he decided to scratch his own itch and develop a software to
solve the problem once and for all...
