Top 5 iPhone Features for Teenagers

by Bunee Tomlison (twitter.com/buneetomlinson)

We already know that the Phone is a terrific smartphone. So of all the features this popular Apple phone has to offer, what do you think teenagers think are "tops" in their book? NerdBoyTV asked guest blogger, Bunee Tomlinson, a sharp young teenager on Twitter, to help us figure this out.

Game Apps
The gaming system on the iPhone is a lot of fun. The app store provides an efficient and straightforward way to download games. Purchasing has never been simpler—Apple was right on the mark with this one. One great thing that even a parent could appreciate is that so many of games are free. These games can be purchased right from the iPhone device from any location where the Internet is available. Control your game by simply moving the iPhone thanks to the accelerometer built into the device. Apple provides a seemless gaming experience for all ages.

Multimedia
Apple has become known as the leader in portable music devices. The great thing is they have integrated this technology into the iPhone. The user interface is so easy-to-use—anyone could pick it up and know how to use it. The touch-screen provides a beautiful way to flip through your music. Video has also become a staple for Apple. Videos can be put onto your iPhone right from the phone. And again, video purchasing could not be easier.

If you are not fond of purchasing, you can also rent movies. Apple does have HD videos available for its customers. For the book readers out there, don't forget you can also download audiobooks. Many companies have filled the app store with a great selection of multimedia apps such as Pandora and AOL Music.

Safari
The greatest mobile browser is also available on the iPhone. Safari on the iPhone is an HTML browser that allows users to see a web page like it would appear on their computer desktop. The YouTube is available so you can easily access the millions of videos on that site. WiFi is also available making the iPhone Internet-accessible almost anywhere.

SMS & MMS
Text messaging is simply a critical part of the teen user experience for ALL cellular devices. Text messaging is popular because it provides users with a way to send messages not worthy of a phone call without using up all those precious minutes. MMS is coming—soon, sending multimedia files will be as simple to send by iPhone as text.

Social Networking
In our busy lives, making time to schedule face-to-face meetings doesn't always work. We can catch up with one another as time permits. Meeting others with similar interests is a lot easier today. Even though emails, addresses, and cell phone numbers change over time, you ALWAYS have a constant place to reach someone with social networking. There are tons of great social networking apps available in the iPhone App Store. From Twitter to Facebook, you will find a growing list of ways to stay connected with your friends using your iPhone.

INQ Mobile to roll out Twitter-phone

Cell phone maker INQ Mobile plans to introduce a Twitter phone in time for the Christmas sales season, hoping to benefit from surging interest in the micro-blogging service, INQ's head told Reuters on Tuesday.

The model would be the first mass-market phone — costing operators less than $140 — with an Internet-based Twitter client, said Frank Meehan, chief executive of INQ.

Meehan said in an interview the phone will use Internet connections for sending the 140-character messages, called Tweets, not text messages as in Twitter's own service.

Holy Twitter! Tweeting from the pews

When Kevin Joyce, the 29-year-old pastor of the nondenominational Imagine Fellowship in San Antonio, Texas, looks out at his congregation during his Sunday sermons, he sees “a lot of illuminated faces.”

But it’s not the word of God that’s lighting them up. It’s their smartphone screens.

“We hold our service in a movie theater and keep it dark so we can protect the screen,” says Joyce, who not only encourages his congregation to use Twitter and 'tweet' in church, but projects the live Twitter stream on a giant screen during services. “When I look out, I’ll see a lot of people texting and the screens on their phones light up their faces.”

One Math Geek's Plan to Reform Wall Street

Paul Wilmott is out to save Wall Street's soul—one dork at a time.

Imagine an aeronautics engineer designing a state-of-the-art jumbo jet. In order for it to fly, the engineer has to rely on the same aerodynamics equation devised by physicists 150 years ago, which is based on Newton's second law of motion: force equals mass times acceleration. Problem is, the engineer can't reconcile his elegant design with the equation. The plane has too much mass and not enough force. But rather than tweak the design to fit the equation, imagine if the engineer does the opposite, and tweaks the equation to fit the design. The plane still looks awesome, and on paper, it flies. The engineer gets paid, the plane gets built, and soon thousands just like it are packed full of people and sent out onto runways. They fly for a while, but eventually, because of that fatal tweak, they all end up crashing."

Mobile Internet makes its way into cars

Just as radios evolved from hulking home consoles into expected accessories in virtually all cars, so may Wi-Fi Internet access break free to become a commonplace automotive feature. That’s the hope of Autonet Mobile, a company that supplies in-car Wi-Fi routers that let passengers use laptops and other mobile devices in their vehicles.

By 2016, consumers will consider such Internet connectivity as important as traditional features such as safety and fuel economy, said Thilo Koslowski, vice president of the Automotive Manufacturing Industry Advisory Service at market researcher Gartner, Inc.

Autonet Mobile sells its $499 routers through Chrysler and Cadillac dealers as manufacturer-endorsed, dealer-installed options for those cars, branded as Uconnect Web and Cadillac Wi-Fi, respectively. Its routers can also be added to any car after a vehicle is purchased.

RSS Basics for Beginners On Internet Marketing

With the increase in popularity, RSS feeds are now becoming a rather popular sighting on many of your favorite websites. You may or may not be familiar with what it is, what it does, and if it has anything to offer you. Thus, here is a basic run down on the RSS feed and what it might offer you if you are interested.

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication which basically means that the information passed through the feed may or may not be directly accessed from the originating website. Joe's website might send a feed they acquired from Fred's site, and vice verse.

As Web communication shrinks, so do links

On the short-messaging service Twitter, space is at a premium: You've got 140 characters to make your point, and you probably don't want to waste half of it on a super-sized link to your latest YouTube obsession.

There's an increasingly popular quick fix: a free URL shortener. On one of these Web sites, you can plug in a long Internet address, known as a URL, and it will assign you a much shorter one that is easier to post in e-mails, on Twitter, Facebook or anywhere else. Some link-shrinkers let you personalize the new address with a unique phrase such as your name, or show you how many people click the link after you've posted it.
