Access to the Sound Profiles is right of icon 7.

*If you choose to have this theme customized, I can not give you the OS6 icons. I did not buy the “Commercial License Agreement” to allow me to use them for profit. Anyone who is doing so is stealing from their creator Big Papa.

SUGARSYNC SWEETENS ANDROID APP; ADDS GERMAN TO COMPANY’S EXPANDING INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO

mcangeli — Tue, 04 May 2010 19:39:04 +0000

SAN MATEO, CALIF., May 4, 2010 – SugarSync Inc., makers of the award-winning SugarSync file sync, backup and file sharing service, today announced that three key updates to the SugarSync service will roll out tonight: SugarSync for Android 3.0, SugarSync in German, and an upgrade to the core service.

“The demand for cloud and device sync services is growing exponentially as consumers and professionals purchase secondary devices such as smartphones, iPads and netbooks,” said Laura Yecies, CEO at SugarSync. “Rapid innovation is essential to keep pace, and SugarSync is rising to the challenge by focusing on delivering ongoing upgrades that achieve a singular vision: make cloud-based sync easy for everyone.”
SugarSync for Android 3.0 features a redesigned interface, making it easier and faster than ever for people to remotely access, sync and stream all of their files, photos and music to their Android devices. Aside from the new aesthetic and flow, conveniences such as e-mail auto-complete for sharing files, new visibility into file upload/download transfer status, and photo detection were added. Details are available here.

In addition to the new Android app, tonight SugarSync will launch in German, augmenting SugarSync’s ongoing international expansion. SugarSync previously launched Chinese and Spanish in late 2009. Japanese is anticipated imminently.

SugarSync is also releasing an incremental upgrade to the overall service, with multiple features to enhance performance and streamline syncing, add new convenience tools, and enhancing the discoverability of key SugarSync features.

The most apparent change is a new Getting Started feature in SugarSync’s Web application, a version of SugarSync’s popular mobile game launched last year. The new version empowers SugarSync users to earn an extra 250 MB of free space simply by trying out SugarSync’s most valuable features.
Getting Started offers tutorial-style instructions and additional feature detail on key areas such as Shared Folders and Public Links, making it easy for both new and existing users to discover features and get the most out of the service.

Other enhancements include:

Address book integration in Send File/Share Album: Share files and photo albums more easily with Yahoo Mail, Gmail, Hotmail, and AOL mail contacts.
Photo Public Links: Create a Public Link (direct URL) to any single photo directly in any photo album, making it even easier to share a photo via Facebook, Twitter, IM, email and more.
Optimized boot-up: SugarSync’s new desktop client will now utilize fewer system resources when a user boots up their computer. (New desktop client to be phased in over the next week).

Unlimited Bandwidth and Server Space for $10 for the first year??

mcangeli — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 00:27:06 +0000

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Nexx Online. All opinions are 100% mine.

Ok, so I normally wouldn’t post about webhosting on this site, but I came across this one today and it is a pretty good deal I wanted to share. Who knows, maybe you can launch that blackberry theme site you’ve been planning in your head.

Any ways, Nexx wants to give you ONE YEAR of webhosting and a FREE domain for only $10!! Thats right! $10!! You can’t find Unlimited Web Hosting for anywhere near that price at any of the other hosts (believe me, I’ve looked!).

Some of the features of Nexx are:

Diskspace: Unlimited
Bandwidth: Unlimited
E-mail: Unlimited
Free Domains: 1
24/7 Customer Support
Google Adwords Credits: $50
Facebook Ads Credits: $50
One-Click WordPress and Blog installations.

So not only will you get the hosting for $10 for the first year, you get all the perks as well. On top of that, Nexx uses state of the art admin panels that make admining a server a breeze. After the first year, prices jump to their normal rates (which get cheaper the longer you lock in) but still, hosting for $10 for a year!! Whats keeping you from having a domain?

Make sure to use promo code SPARK10 when you check out to get your $10 site today!

Sneak a peek at Blackberry OS 6.0

Photo Courtsey of BGR

So I came across this gem on twitter today as I was wading through the stream… and it was too good to share. Boy Genius Report managed to snag a series of screenshots of the 6.0 OS, and boy are they good. Among the new styling are tabbed browsing and redone media player. If you want to see more of this you definitely need to head over to BGR and check out the full shots.

For those who want to know a little more… They’ve apparently done more with the inbox (making facebook, twitter, email, sms all flow together better), photos layout and more. The interesting thing I noticed is that these seem to be on a touch screen device….

Bccthis App Extends BlackBerry Mail Capabilities by Allowing Users to Securely Send Private Notes to Selected Recipients of Their Emails

Los Angeles, CA -March 18, 2010 – Bccthis, developers of an innovative new technology that allows users to send private messages along with their emails, today announced the availability of the Bccthis for BlackBerry application. The application integrates seamlessly into the device’s email client and provides the same innovative features of the Bccthis desktop plug-in for Outlook.

Savvy organizations increasingly track the costs and efficiencies lost as a result of time spent dealing with spam and poorly written communication. Using Bccthis, sales professionals can keep team members in sync with progress, HR professionals can securely send and receive additional context to sensitive emails, and the general public can benefit from the ability to deliver private footnotes to complicated email threads.

Bccthis offers a new approach to messaging that enriches the current trend of short-form, rapid-fire bursts of information by providing a platform that allows users to add focused, relevant context to email.

Like sticky notes for your email, the BlackBerry application allows users to compose private, secure messages to selected recipients in the To, Cc, or Bcc fields of their emails while simultaneously sending a message to a larger group. No plug-in is necessary to view the private messages and the application can be downloaded starting today free from Bccthis.com or the BlackBerry App World store.

“Bccthis offers a new way to improve the effectiveness of everyday communication,” says Dave Waldman, CEO of Bccthis. “A lot of people are concerned with inbox clutter and our BlackBerry app allows users to reduce unnecessary communication by sending the right message to the right people – something that’s critical for the millions of BlackBerry users worldwide who rely on efficient day-to-day communication.”

The Bccthis product suite is designed to address the information and relationship disparity that exists in digital communication and extends across desktop and mobile email clients through to social networking services. For email, Bccthis offers a plug-in for Microsoft Outlook which allows users to send personalized notes to selected recipients in the To, Cc, or Bcc fields along with their original email.

For Twitter, Bccth.is provides an innovative interface to send personalized messages to selected recipients while tweeting to a broader group of followers.

The full Bccthis product suite is available in beta today at www.bccthis.com, and the Bccthis BlackBerry app can, for selected handset models, also be downloaded free via the BlackBerry App World portal.
