I’ve always been a gadget hound. So, no surprise that I waited in line all day to be one of the first to grab an iPhone. The Apple iPhone is the ultimate convergence device. Sure, it’s pricey, but I’m loving the fact that I have a phone, iPod , camera and email/internet device that fits nicely in my pocket. Plus, it is without a doubt the most beautiful device I’ve ever owned.
Replay AV, Replay Media Catcher and Replay Converter make great companions for the iPhone. Use Replay AV or Replay Media Catcher to capture online media. Use Replay Converter to convert your audio or video to a format suitable for playing on your iPhone. It’s really easy. Replay AV will even transfer your newly recorded and converted media to iTunes automatically. Next time you sync the iPhone your recordings will be there ready for you to enjoy or show off to others.
Video that can be played in iTunes will sync with the iPhone. Use Replay Converter to convert your home movies to iPod video format and take them with you on your iPhone.
For me, the iPhone was worth the wait. It’s functional and beautiful. This morning I heard that the Apple store I had camped out at still has a few in stock. My first thought was Ugh! You mean I stood in line all those hours for no reason??!! But actually, I’m glad I had the experience. It really was fun and exciting to be 9th in line. I proudly earned my geek badge on iPhone launch day.
The Applian Advantage Club: A while back I asked some of you for your opinion about a “Members Only Club” – a club for Suite owners that would offer certain benefits to its members. Well we still plan on starting the club – it’s just taken a bit longer than we thought. We are redoing our website in the next month and once it’s done we will start the club. Please watch for an invitation. We are really excited to get this going.
Replay AV 8.2 – This latest version of Replay AV will include Applian Media Courier powered by YouSendIt: -a new feature that enables Replay AV customers to retrieve their recorded files anywhere they can access e-mail . Imagine being at work and getting an e-mail with a link to your favorite daily recording? Or being on vacation and listening to all your favorite shows?
Replay Converter with DVD Burning Capabilty: We are about to release a whole new version of Replay Converter with a brand new look and a great new feature – DVD burning! Replay Converter with DVD burning should be available early to mid summer. Thanks to this new feature you will be able to go from download to DVD in one easy step.
<Replay Media Catcher 2.10: This first-ever streaming Flash Video Recorder was released in February and we have already improved it. Replay Media Catcher now includes automatic naming of captured videos, and can record, recognize and tag streaming MP3 files too. Version 2.10 will have the ability to capture more MP3 streams, as well as extract MP3 tracks from Shoutcast radio stations. If you haven’t tried this super easy recorder yet – you should. Just remember the secret to using Replay Media Catcher is that you need to open the program and hit “start recording” BEFORE even going to the website that you want to record.
<Replay Music Fans: With the release of Windows Vista, the current recording method that Replay Music employs doesn’t work anymore. We understand this is frustrating. But we are very excited about a new technology under development that will restore audio recording capabilities to Vista.
