iToner makes adding iPhone ringtones ridiculously easy
Filed under: Cellphones
Want to add iPhone ringtones? iToner’s your solution, it’s the easiest (and most graphically purdy) method we’ve seen yet, and it works without even jailbreaking your iPhone. The down side (yeah, there’s always a downside) is this simple utility could teach a course in Nagware 101, bugging you incessantly and imposing increasingly longer delays before carrying out its function until you buy the thing. Still, it’s worth it if you’ve been waiting for an excuse not to use marimba anymore. We’d just suggest waiting until next Wednesday before making the buy, we hear Apple might just do this thing themselves. More shots after the break.
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

Hands-on with the Sony BDP-S500 Blu-ray player
Filed under: Features, Home Entertainment
It’s not like it’s too big of a deal, but we happened by this new Blu-ray player from Sony while we were on our mass-wanderings amongst the gadgetry at IFA, and we thought we’d share a few images. Really nothing to write home about, though it does have a snazzy sliding front panel (the one that appears mirrored) — but we couldn’t say what that panel’s function actually is. Maybe you can figure it out, so have a look at the gallery.

Archos’ 605 and 405 go on sale in the US
Filed under: Portable Audio, Portable Video
We already had word that the Archos 605 WiFi would be released tomorrow, but it looks like the company couldn’t wait — the 605 and and 405 just appeared for sale on the Archos website. Pricing is right in line with what we told you earlier: the 160GB 605 is $399, with the 80GB, 30GB and 4GB + SD versions coming in at $349, $299 and $230, respectively, while the 2GB + SD 405 is just $169. Still no word on all those rumored content partnerships, but at least now we can do some digging Stateside, eh?
[Thanks, Dimitri]

Third iPhone software SIM unlock team claims September 1st release
Filed under: Cellphones
The two big teams claiming iPhone software SIM unlock solutions (iPhoneSIMfree and UniquePhones) have been a bit mum of late, but while iPhoneSIMfree’s hack is supposedly due by tomorrow, you just might have a free (as in beer) alternative — if you’re the type to believe the hype you read on internet forums. Unknowns the Deathcorp team claim tomorrow, September 1st, will also mark the wide public release of their iPhone SIM unlock software, which is supposedly going to be distributed with no charge to you, unlike iPhoneSIMfree’s forthcoming release, and UniquePhones’s intended, but waylayed, launch. As usual, we’ll be there to sort the fact from the fiction.
[Thanks, Ed]
