Then please help us out by using the side bar to buy the song you want. It is very easy to use. Just click the play button on the widget and a listing of the top songs will show up. Run through the listings and pick the songs you want. if you want to preview the song just use the small play button. If you like it hit the buy button and amazon will take care of the rest.

Last night I was going through my feeds and came across this post from Google.
Google has introduced a new RSS Reader for the iPhone and In the normal Google fashion, it is a Beta. To use it all you will need to do is open mobile Safari on your iPhone or if you want to see what it might look like on your computer before you try it on the iPhone use this tip to do so. (Want To See What an iPhone Only Website Looks Like without an iPhone).
The new reader makes mobile RSS reading even better by showing you the titles in a list view, and instead of opening a new link when you click on the title like the current version of Google’s iPhone Reader does, it displays the article’s text right under the title (very web 2.0). It also allows you to “Star” the item next to the title. After you drop the article down to read its content you can even mark it as “Keep Unread”, “Share It”, or “See the Original” which is a link that will open the original content on a new page.
Give it try next time you want to use and RSS reader on the iphone. It has already become my choice for mobile RSS reading. If you like it let us know in the comments and if you hate it let us know why!!
Over at The Mac Tipper Blog they have posted a great tip for using your keyboard to cycle through all of the open windows. The short cut is called “Move focus to the active window or next window” in the Keyboard Shortcuts area of the Keyboard & Mouse System Preference Pane. According to the post the default is “Control + F4″ but, if you are like me and on a macbook and just hit the ”Control +F4″ all it does is change the volume (some newer Macbook keyboards are different). For the default to work for me I also have to hit the “FN” key and to hit all of those keys its not a comfortable key stroke. So I change it to an easier one. Read the rest of this entry »
If anyone has ever asked you to resend an e-mail for any reason her is how you can avoid having to retype the entire message.
Once you have opened Mail.app go to the sent items and select the e-mail you want to resend. Don’t open the message just select it. Now head up to the Message tab on the menu bar and select Send Again or if you are a big Keyboard Shortcut user hit “Shift + Command + D”. A new window will pop up and your original message will be there just like it was just before you hit send. As a matter of good practice you should check to make sure the e-mail address is correct just in case the reason you are resending it is because the person did not get the e-mail. This would also help if you left someone off an e-mail you are sending to a group of people. Just change the”TO:” addresses and send it again.
Have you ever wanted to see what one of the iPhone only websites look like? With Safari you can. First, you will need to use Safari in the Developer mode. (WAIT ITS REALLY EASY I PROMISE DON’T LET THE DEVELOPER MODE SCARE YOU) To use the developer mode in safari all you have to do is open the Preferences menu in Safari and click on the Advanced tab.

Most people know that if you right click and select “Get Info” or “Command + I” on a file in Finder you will get all kinds of information about the file. But, did you know that if you select a few files and “Option + Command + 1″ “Option + Command + I”(Thanks Dave M for the pick up)on that it will show you the total size of the files you have selected.
The answer seemed to come when it was announced that Firefox 3 (now well into it’s beta) would have OS integration, giving Firefox a Safari-esque look. This post is intended to get your Firefox 3 Beta 5 looking 99% like Safari, even down to the resizeable text boxes.

If you set up groups before transferring contacts to the iPhone, you can then show only a certain group (or all groups) when browsing contacts. I set up several groups in Address Book, but noticed that you can’t change which group a contact is in on the iPhone itself. Nor can you add new groups on the phone, either.
