Nashville, Tennessee – RingtoneFeeder has announced archive access to its popular iPhone ringtone subscription offering. The new service, which requires an existing active annual subscription, is a one time activation fee of just $9.98 (USD) which will instantly grant access to all ringtones released by RingtoneFeeder in two separate feeds – one for vocal ringtones and one for instrumentals.

Existing annual subscribers can activate the archive access directly from the subscribers section of RingtoneFeeder and new subscribers have the ability to sign up for one year including full archive access at $29.95 and renewal the following year is priced in line with a standard annual subscription of $19.98 for 12 months. A RingtoneFeeder Plus subscriber will also have full access to download the ringtones individually from the archive.

The subscribers are receiving 4 ringtones every week. One vocal and one instrumental ringtone, both of them in two versions, with and without a ringing sound embedded. The annual subscription with archive access which is priced at just $29.95 will now provide nearly 300 ringtones as the subscriber will get the entire archive of releases instantly at the time of signup and 4 new tones every week for a year essentially bringing down the cost of each original iPhone ringtone to just 9 cents which is an incredible value for money.

“Although we have only been producing ringtones for the iPhone since April 29th 2008 – one of the most frequent requests the past few months have been for us to offer archive access so subscribers can chose from everything we have released and we are pleased that RingtoneFeeder Plus now makes that possible” said Geoff Smith, Partner and Producer at RingtoneFeeder.

RingtoneFeeder is a new and innovative approach to ringtones offering a subscription model which automatically installs two new original ringtones on the iPhone via iTunes every week. The earlier a subscription to the service is made the bigger collection the subscriber will have. When a ringtone has been released it will not appear in the weekly updates ever again. The 10 latest ringtones are delivered when subscribing and then an additional two new ringtones every week.

RingtoneFeeder Plus provides access to the entire archive of ringtones produces by RingtoneFeeder in two separate feeds – one for vocal and one for instrumental iPhone ringtones at just $9.98 (an active annual subscription is required).

There is also a free demo feed available so the service can be tried out with no obligations. The free feed contains a few sample ringtones as well as an introduction video and a PDF guide to managing ringtones via iTunes.

Blacksburg, VA – Gotow.net is pleased to announce the release of NetSketch 1.1.0, the popular collaborative drawing application for the iPhone and iPod Touch. NetSketch is a full-featured vector drawing app and allows you to sketch in real-time with friends on multiple iPhones. The update is available through the App Store and offers several new features:

* Delete, duplicate and rename drawings from the home screen! You can duplicate a drawing and keep working, so it’s easy to undo a lot of changes.

* Zoom-back: Check your progress as you draw. Click the zoom button once to see the entire drawing, and press it again to return to where you were.

* Online integration: Users can upload drawings with one tap, and others can view their work on any Mac or PC. As of this week, users can watch replays of uploaded work and leave comments on drawings.

* Export to EPS: Artists can upload their work to the NetSketch website and download it as an EPS file into Preview, Adobe Illustrator or Freehand.

Please see the NetSketch web site for screenshots, uploaded drawings and additional information about the update.

System Requirements:
iPhone or iPod Touch. Wireless network required for sharing features.

Pricing and Availability:
NetSketch is $5.99 USD, and is available for immediate download on the iTunes App Store.

About Netsketch:
NetSketch allows you to draw on the iPod’s screen using a full range of colors and brush sizes. You can share drawings over the wireless network, and others using the NetSketch application can contribute to your work. As you draw, everyone’s changes are reflected in real time.

Unlike other drawing programs, NetSketch features infinite pan and zoom based on familiar gestures. It is the only iPhone app to render drawings in a scalable vector format independent of the size of the iPhone’s screen. When you zoom in, you get smooth, accurate lines – not huge pixels. You can draw at any level so it’s easy to add detail.

Your drawing can be much larger than the iPod’s screen and sometimes exporting a photo just doesn’t do it justice. Using NetSketch, you can upload your work to NetSketch Collaborative Drawing and pan and zoom through it the same way you would on the iPod.

Oslo, Norway – The popular software tracking website, iusethis, has expanded its reach to iPhone users today. Members can now submit, browse and vote up iPhone applications.

iusethis has been serving the Macintosh community for over two years, and has planted its flag as the most innovative and community-centered software tracking site on the web. The website allows software users to mark applications they use, contributing to the application’s “iusethis” score, similar to social news site digg.

The website’s founders have been firm believers and fans of the iPhone, and were toying with the idea of an iPhone app section, even before the App Store was announced.

“We were actually thinking about doing this earlier for “jail-broken” apps, but once Apple stepped in with the App Store, an iPhone section on iusethis became a no brainer.” says co-founder Arne Fismen.

Due to its use of modern technology, iusethis is in a position where it can quickly develop new features, and is the first major software directory to support Apple iPhone. A democratic web application like iusethis gives a better overview of popular applications, as well as a better opportunity to see trends.
