New Macintosh Software Empowers BlackBerry Users To Turn Almost Any Media File Into Ringtones
San Diego, CA–July 15, 2008–Information Appliance Associates,
creators of industry-leading mobile connectivity solutions, announces
the release of the PocketMac® RingtoneStudio for BlackBerry, the
first and only Macintosh tool that gives BlackBerry users the power
to convert almost any media file into a ringtone.
“We’re incredibly excited,” said Terence Goggin, CTO of
Information Appliance Associates. “The BlackBerry is great, and as
more people are using it, they have told us they want to expand the
variety of ringtones they can use on their BlackBerry. But it was
either too expensive or too difficult to do on their own. That’s
where this software comes in.”
PocketMac RingtoneStudio for BlackBerry works with sound files,
iTunes tracks you own, and any Mac-friendly movie formats to produce
ringtones that can then be automatically synched to a BlackBerry.
One of the many powerful features of PocketMac RingtoneStudio for
BlackBerry is the EditingBay, which allows users to easily select
exactly which 30 seconds they want to use as their ringtone.
Goggin added, “With the EditingBay feature, customers can select
whatever 30 seconds they want from the movies and music files.
Literally any 30 seconds from each file. The 30 seconds from the
beginning, the 30 seconds smack dab in the middle, or somewhere
towards the end. It’s visual, simple and completely up to the
customer what they want to choose.”
PocketMac RingtoneStudio for BlackBerry works on OS 10.4.x and 10.
5.x (Tiger and Leopard) and retails for $14.95. PocketMac
RingtoneStudio for BlackBerry supports BlackBerry Pearl (8100),
BlackBerry Curve (8300), and BlackBerry 8800 series devices that have
a microSD expanded memory card inside.
“The release of PocketMac RingtoneStudio for iPhone was such a
success that our BlackBerry customers starting asking immediately if
we could create something for them, too, and this is our answer. With
this software and using the powerful but easy- to-use editing
features of PocketMac Ringtone Studio, BlackBerry users can now make
their own custom ringtones with almost no effort,” Goggin continued.
“This opens up new multimedia possibilities for BlackBerry users.”
