Upload a song and make it into a ringtone…

Ok so this is pure laziness and I like it. CellSea.com has a new service that allows you to upload a song and it will automatically create it into a ringtone for you. CellSea allows you to cut the part of the song you want to make your ringtone and even choose how long you want it. Check it out at CellSea.com

RIM’s next generation BlackBerry browser

Looks like RIM is busy at work on their next generation Web Browser. The new browser reminds us kinda of Opera and brings most of the same type features such as a new home start page offering history, Google, Yahoo, Dictionary.com, IMDb.com, and Wikipedia search integration. Another huge feature which RIM will be offering in this new verison is much needed "tabbed" browsing. This would allow you to have several web pages open at once. Apparently we shouldn't expect this new browser until later this fall.
