AnyRing hacked! Free download

Oughtlaw — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 04:16:00 +0000

Man, this didn’t take long. After our review for AnyRing a few days back, one of the stumbling blocks was forking up the $3.99. No more worries now thanks to Xsellize. Those of you that were on the bubble, this should send you over the edge. And for those of you who are 4 bucks in the hole, sorry about your luck. Here is how it’s done:

Before downloading, you need to realize if you download the hacked version chances are good you won’t be able to download any of the updates. But hey, who’s complaining?

You will need to add the Xsellize repository within Cydia: http://xsellize.com/cydia/

Search for AnyRing and you should see two listings. Select the download provided by Xsellize and install

Apple to offer pre-made ringtones

Oughtlaw — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 03:04:55 +0000

Jackpot. This is a move Apple needed to make to start capturing the ringtone market and make the iPhone more customizable. After seeing third parties distribute applications that help a user turn thier favorite song into a thier ringtone (such as AnyRing that we reviewed earlier in the week), it was a no-brainer for Apple to start capitalizing on this concept. Even though some would say Apple crashed this party a little late, I guess it’s better late than never. It would also be a safe bet to say that you will be able to purchase the tones through iTunes on your PC/Mac and on your iPhone itself.

Sources have informed CNET that Apple has obtained the rights to distribute ringtones for iPhone users. They are quickly trying to make this dream a reality in time for next weeks “rock and roll” themed press conference, Sept. 9th. It is unclear how much Apple will charge for a single ringtone, but you probably could guess it won’t be outrageous. I mean they charge anywhere from $.69 to $1.29 a song. You would think a snippet would be less than the song itself.

So what do you think? Along with buying any song you could think of, will you do the same for a ringtone?

AnyRing – Set your ringtone from iPod collection

Oughtlaw — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 04:26:03 +0000

Yep, that’s right. Easily set any song that you have from your endless pit of iPod music for your ringtone on the fly. Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t give you this choice as an out-of-the-box option. But for those of you who like to bump to your favorite jams every time you get a call, this is any easy road to take.

There are some solid customizable features that make this an eye catcher. Within AnyRing, you can select the start and end point in the song to play when the ringtone is activated. You can also specify the ringtone you want to be played for the selected contact.

There are a few things you need to keep in mind before taking the plunge. Although this is a great feature to have, the price may be a little steep for some coming in at $3.99. Depending on how often you change up your ringtones or the value of simplicity, you might not even flinch considering this app is kinda in a league of its own. However, you can decide for yourselfby testing out the trial offer.

You also need to install RockApp to obtain a license that will give you access to AnyRing. This should install along with the initial AnyRing download. Although a little time consuming, not a showstopper.

The other drawback for some is you need to Jailbreak to access this app through Cydia. Sorry, you gotta give at some point.

Overall, a standout app for the ringtone junkies.
