Want to have an iPhone but for some reason you can’t get your hands on one and instead have an iPod Touch? Then you’re in luck, some random company based in Guangzhou, China has made a device that allows you to turn your iPod Touch into something that works like an iPhone. You’ve heard that right, the guys in China did it first.

What the device basically does is allowing the addition of a SIM card so that you can call with your iPod Touch. In order to do this, the device includes a speaker on top so that you can hear the calls, a SIM card slot, a baseband chip, a dock connector port and a “vibration motor” (possibly for silent mode or a similar functionality). Take note that it doesn’t support 3G.

As with unofficial Apple products, you need to jailbreak your iPod Touch to gain access to the full features that the Apple Peel offers. The device will then install 2 applications, “Yosion” and “YsSMS”.

As you can see, the user interface of Yosion has striking similarities with the phone application of the iPhone.

The SMS functionality is also similar to the iPhone.

You can then import your contacts from the SIM card to the on-board memory.

Overall, this is a nifty device to say the least. The question is, what will Apple do once they knew the existence of such device.

What’s in it for you as a consumer?
(1) Save heaps from buying an expensive Apple iPhone 3G!
(2) Convert any unwanted or unused iPod (2nd or 3rd generation) to a real functioning, real Apple iPhone
(3) Avoid buy cheap knockouts or fake iPhone!
(4) Save tons of money making free calls via VIBER app on iPhone (it is free too)
(5) Send unlimited text messages to any phone number in the world via HeyWire free Apps

Downsides:
(1) Converted iPod can make use of 2G network only
(2) Does not support GPRS or 3G network.

What’s Next?
(1) Give a call to Abby Technology Limited or email us at http://all.at/unlock
(2) Please read disclaimers, terms and condition on our site located http://go.to/abby
(3) Stock for the conversion subject to availability.  First come first serve basis only.

Micro-blogging become more popular nowadays. There are more than 10 micro-blogging platforms for you to choose. Anyway, twitter is still the best micro-blogging platform that suits my need. Why? Because it has lots of way to tweet!

I’m going to show you 7 ways that I use to update my tweet. Although some of them are not so useful, you might take it as an alternative way (always think for backup plan!).

7 Ways to Tweet

I’m just simply list out few famous apps in each way. You may discover more from Internet but I think it should be enough for you to tweet in any way. Here I am not going to discuss further for installation or configuration for each app. Try it out and you’ll know. It’s pretty easy!

1. Desktop client – Third party software that needs installation.Twitteroo and Twhirl are two of the famous ones. Twitteroo is windows version of Twitterrific. While Twhirl is a social desktop client built on Adobe AIR that connects to multiple micro-blogging platform. Make sure you have installed the latestAdobe AIR before installing Twhirl.
2. Web – This is quite straight forward. Login to Twitter orHelloTxt and tweet in your browser.
3. Email – I don’t know why people need to tweet via email. The only reason I can think of is a scheduled tweet. Browse to TwitterMail, insert your twitter username and password to get your TwitterMail address instantly. You may schedule email to tweet when you are on travel.:)
4. Firefox Plugin – My favourite way to tweet. Don’t need to close Firefox. Surf internet and tweet whenever you like. Get FoxyTunes and TwitBin for your Firefox. FoxyTunes plugin not only allow you tweet your own words. But also tweet what you are browsing, watching, reading, etc. URL shortener has been included.
5. Instant Messenger – I just discovered this new way to tweet recently. You may use most of the IM to tweet. Just add in particular Twitt’d id as your IM friends (for eg: twittd@live.com). It is available for Skype, Windows Live Messenger, Google Talk, Jabber and Yahoo! Messenger user. After add in Twitt’d, chat with the twitt’d robot. It will ask for your twitter’s username and password to activate your account. Quite fun! 
6. Mobile phone – This is perfect feature for traveling tweet. Login Twitter > Settings > Devices. Turn on your device update. After getting verified, you may tweet anywhere using SMS (without a Wifi or 3G connection).
7. Blog Plugin – The last method is tweeting via your own blog. With Twitter Tools wordpress plugin, you can tweet from front page or admin page. It is quite similar to Web tweet, but from your own blog.

What is Mobile Phone Unlocking?Networks put “locks” on your mobile phone so that you cannot use just any simcard from any network, for example Vodafone will lock their mobiles to Vodafone so that you can only use the phone with Vodafone. Its obvious why.. they want your custom and want you to be restricted to them, however we have a free market, and they should make it so that you can get choice if you need it. This created a whole new market selling “unlock codes” http://tiny.cc/remoteunlock
How do I check to see if my phone is locked?The simplest way to check if your phone is locked is to insert a SIM card from another network and see if the phone will accept it. If your phone is locked you will often see an error message of some kind. These messages vary depending on your handset manufacturer. Here are some examples:Nokia: “Enter restriction code”  or  ”SIM card rejected”Motorola: “Enter special code” or “Enter Subsidy code”Ericsson: “Enter Correct SIM”Sony Ericsson: “Incorrect SIM”Samsung: “Invalid Network SIM…Enter Code”Panasonic: “Invalid SIM”Siemens: “Phone disabled! NETWORK LOCK”Sharp:  ”Invalid Network SIM”
If you do not have access to a SIM card from another network then there is a less scientific method you can use to check if your handset is locked. Simply look to see if your network has placed their logo on your phone somewhere. For example in the UK orange always lock their handsets and they always “badge” their phones with their own Orange logo either on the front or the back of the handset
Mobile Unlocking OptionsIn the early days of unlocking when I first began to run this website, very few unlock code options where available, most unlocking tended to be using software and files that you uploaded to your phone. Sometimes this was a straightforward and easy process, however for some mobile phones this could only really be done by proffessionals as it was too complicated and in some cases there was a risk of damaging your mobile phone while trying to unlock it. Nowadays though this is a totally different situation, not only are there very many unlock codes available for very many more models the software is so advanced a child could use it. With most companies supplying cables with their mobiles this also allowed many more to unlock their mobile phone than ever before.
Safest Mobile Unlocking OptionThe safest way to unlock your mobile phone is without doubt the use of unlock codes. These are usually one code that you enter into your keypad and it unlocks the phone restriction so that you can use ANY simcard. No experience is needed and its a simple procedure, purchase from us and we will give you full support.
Where unlock codes are sourcedMost companies on the internet source their codes indirectly from the manufacturers or networks that have locked the phones. Some are higher up the “chain” than others, however its impossible to tell which are higher up the chain. Price isnt an indication, however its pretty certain that if you purchase a “cheap” code from a less established website theres a good chance you either will not get what you asked for or you will not get the support that you need if anything goes wrong, due to the fact that many cheaper sites are automated, with noone actually doing much communication with their customers, they are basically “code factories” churning out codes with little care on customer experience.
