Mobile Ringtones

In the beginning the humble mobile phone rang just like a wired telephone. As the technology evolved every new phone had great new features and one of them was that you could customise the various tones on your handset. Everyone thought it was pretty cool when their phone had 10 to 15 different ringtones to choose from. Everyone has been wanting more than those 10 or 15 tones to choose from and the Technology and Craze started in Europe in 2001. Now, every single mobile phone sold has the ability to download ringtones or any other sound to become your ringtone.

Just a few days ago on the bus on my way home from work there had to be at least 10 telephones ring. Every single one of them was different and I can tell you that not one of them sounded like a “ring ring” tone!

Every new telephone that comes along has even more features - and more Ringtones. We all see the ads on TV wanting us to SMS some code and get a new ringtone but lets face it, who wants the crazy frog these days - it is just so last Year! Forget TV, they only show you 2 or 3 different tones and when you can have literally any sound, song or tune for your ringtone.

Nearly Telephone handset uses different formats for their ringtones so you need to ensure you download a compatable tune for your handset. Nokia ringtones are different to sony ericsson ringtones - even if they are the same tune. Getting online and searching the 1000’s of available artists, tunes and tones will take longer than downloading it to your phone!

So, next time you are on the bus, listen to all the different tunes and if you have downloaded your own ringtone it is not very likely that any of those ringing phones will sound like yours.

Samsung U100

Way back in 1950 when Byung-Chul Lee founded the Samsung Trading Company in Seoul You can bet that he had no idea as to what the future held. You can guarantee that he had never even conceived the idea that such a device as a mobile telephone would exist. Even at the end of his life in 1987 the mobile phone was only just coming into existance and it was the big Radio Manufacturers who had the know-how to turn their 2-way Radios into A portable Telephone device.

With the Founder bowing out, The company he started at the time the world started to embrace Mobile Telephone Technology had only been in the electronics industry for about 5 years or so. Samsung really is a bit of a latecomer to the World market and it was in the 90’s the company went thru several changes. Samsung as a corporation made their mark (and still does) as the largest Memory chip manufacturer in the world.

With their knowledge of Computer memory chips during the first few years of the 21st Century one of the Areas that they moved into was the mobile phone handset market. In terms of the Mobile phone market they are a bit of a “johnny come lately” but don’t let that fool you. Their Latest Mobile handset, the Samsung U100 is every bit as feature-packed and even better than the phones offered by some of the more traditional mobile phone manufacturers.

From a trading company in what was an emerging 3rd world country to a global Manufacturing group in a bit over 50 years we can not even begin to guess the things yet to be invented that they will be manufacturing 50 years from now.

Die or Get A Refund

Would you like Term Insurance that refunds your money if you don’t die? Well now you can—it’s called Return of Premium Life Insurance. One of the biggest objections to buying term life insurance is that people see themselves outliving the specified term and often think of the premiums as wasted money. The insurance industry has answered that objection with the recent introduction of Return of Premium term life insurance.

Return of Premium or ROP combines the benefits of traditional term life insurance with a return of premium feature. Simply put your family receives a lump sum death benefit if you die, otherwise if you win your bet with the insurance company and you live the insurer returns all your premiums. This money-back guarantee can be particularly comforting for those that believe death will not occur during the term of coverage.

What’s the catch? Well it does come at a cost. Since the insurance company is obligated to pay you back at the end of your term, Return-of-Premium life insurance does cost more than regular term insurance. A typical ROP policy may cost approximately 25 percent to 50 percent more than standard term life insurance. And policies typically have to be held for the 10 to 30 years to receive a return of all premiums, though many insurers offer a pro-rated return if held for a few years. In some cases taking the extra premiums that would have been paid and applying them to a disciplined investment approach may provide more flexibility.

The Money Alert is a well-known financial site covering insurance matters. Their popular Flood Insurance articles have been published by several publications throughout the United States. Please visit The Money Alert Retirement Planning to view more finance related columns.

Motorizr Z8

I can remember my very first mobile phone - it was about the size of 2 bricks and weighed nearly 2kg! If you were in a major city, and the antenna was up high and in the clear you could make and receive a telephone call. Sure, this was way back in 1990 - but look how things have changed.

Now, nobody would consider carrying aroung something so large or something that could only make a voice call with. Every phone these days can do so much more. Just look at the Motorola Z8 phone for example. It is a 2 Megapixel Digital Camera, a PDA, has a 16million Colour Display, 90Meg internal Memory that is expandable, Web Browsing, 3G and mobile Broadband, MP3 palyer and Bluetooth capable. Not only that but you can of course send a text message and one of the other features in there somewhere is the ability for you to make a voice call! Who would have thought that with all of the latest and greatest that this phone has to offer that you can still actually use it as a telephone!

The Motorizr as it is also known is a far cry from my "2 bricks" phone of 1990, and it costs far less than my first phone ever did. I am actually pretty amazed that modern phones still have the ability to offer telephone calls with everything else that they can do!

If the Z8 is not your thing then you can find all of the latest mobile phones and providers in the UK.

P is for Protein

While Carbohydrates are the fuel for your Body, protein is what is used to build the engine (muscle) and while a balanced diet is important for everyone, not everyone has the same dietary requirements.

Top Atheletes who train regularly will want a high protein diet to build muscle, and they weill also look towards a medium to high carb diet so they have the fuel to burn. An Endurance athelete, such as a long distance runner or cyclist cannot easily carry a high carb snack with them as easily as a high protein one and would opt for something like a protein bar to keep them fuelled up before, during and after a significant event.

The Bodybuilder is another example of an athelete who would have a specific dietarty requirement and the diet would likely to be very high in protein compared to many other sports people. Getting the Right bodybuilding products can be the difference between being good and great, and whey protein is a good source.

It is always worthwhile talking to your doctor or a Sports diet and training expert and seek advice on creating a diet that is suitable for your training and chosen sport. By understanding your own diet you will learn for yourself what products will be beneficial to you in acheiving your goals and winning at your chosen Sport.
