So whether you had an issue or not with your iPhone 4 (which luckily I didn’t), Apple will send you a FREE bumper for your great new iPhone 4. Have you purchased a bumper already? Don’t worry your FULL refund is on the way. Mr. Jobs has it all figured out (including “Antennagate” as he refers to this) and once again proves he understands great customer service. You have to apply on website starting in about one week and you have until September 30, 2010 to request your new bumper.
If you are still unhappy with the issue of the iPhone 4, you can return the iPhone 4 for a full refund in the 30 days. Personally, I don’t think too many people will take advantage of the latter, but a free iPhone 4 bumper is great. Bug fixes have also been released in the new iOS 4.1 update and Steve Jobs encourages everyone to update.

Personally, I think this will increase the sales of the iPhone 4 for other people, so I don’t know what do you think. Are you going to be waiting in the virtual line for your new iPhone 4 bumper OR will you just be returning it?

Every year we make these promises aka resolutions to ourselves that quite frankly most of us don’t keep, so maybe this year a few helpful apps can keep us dedicated enough to seal the resolution deal.

Resolution: Get Fit
App: Lose It

Everyone knows MATHEMATICALLY losing weight is simple. Just eat less and exert more energy…well if the discipline part of weight loss was that simple the billion dollar weight loss industry wouldn’t exist. Luckily, with the Lose It app on your iPhone is to the rescue. Lose It allows you to track your food intake and your energy output in a simple and nice looking chart form. With Lose It you can start to become a leaner you with a simple profile completion asking your age, height, current weight, and goal weight. Lose It tracks your food you eat daily and your exercise activities and gives you the estimated number of calories you can eat daily and the date you should achieve your goal! Pretty neat, the bonus to Lose It is it’s web pairing and friends success tracking.

Resolution: Learn Something New
App: Cram

So year after year you’ve been putting off FINALLY learning that second language you always wanted to learn or you just aren’t cutting it in the grades department in school – well this app is the perfect app for solving your learning dilemmas. Cram allows you to learn anything you want to with digital flashcards and practice multiple-tests. With Cram you can use images to support your lesson and besides just making your tests directly on your iPhone you can download tests from a large library of premade tests or get your tests and flashcard sets from friends. Cram is also on the Mac and web so you can sync your lessons to your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Resolution: Get more reading done
App: Stanza

Who reads books anymore right? Don’t be like that – knowledge is power. Ok, so enough of the cliches, but to achieve your reading resolution this year you have to use Stanza. Stanza is an app that let’s you download magazines and books from a selection of over 100,000 titles so you can read them right on your phone. Use this to squeeze in some essential reading time while you are in the car, in the doctor’s office, or couch surfing. Lucky for the Mac users there’s a Mac app to go along with it!

Resolution: Stop Smoking
App: iQuit

Want to get rid of that cigarette breath for the New Year, use iQuit. It takes a real human approach ( for an iPhone or iPod Touch app) to quitting. With iQuit it has  timed intervals for your reduced smoking schedule, allows friends and family to send you encouraging messages during your cravings, and even has a ‘cheat’ mode but you are human and getting over those addictive chemicals can be hard, quite frankly that’s what they were added for. The neat part of iQuit is the savings calculator letting you track the amount of money you are saving while you are getting closer to your goal.

Resolution: Save More Money
App: Mint

If you are already fit and don’t smoke then you may find yourself trying to make up New Year’s resolution. Well you can always promise yourself to save more money, and it doesn’t get any easier than using Mint. Mint tracks your spending on your debit cards and credit cards, allows you to set a budget in each category like your clothes and grocery budget, and even alert’s you of overages that are coming your way. Simply brilliant and helpful. The best part is that it too has a web pairing, YEA!

Resolution: Get more rest
App: MindSpa

Getting more sleep should totally be everyone’s New Years Resolution, but if it’s already on your list MindSpa claims to help you get there. MindSpa claims they use three proven clinical techniques that will help you gain calm of mind leading to better sleep. MindSpa helps people get a deeper relaxation and reduce stress which will lead to a better quality of sleep. Hey at least if it doesn’t help you actually get more rest it will help reduce your stress and that in itself is enough.

So good luck to your success of achieving those hard to keep New Years Resolution. Remember if it were easy it wouldn’t be an app for it, just kidding!

Those wonderful pictures of your late night of friends MUST be sent to everyone that wasn’t there, but you don’t think they can grasp the excitement if they don’t see the pictures in their full glory. So let’s learn how to send off those questionable pictures of your fun night in full resolution.

Using your iPhone and iPod Touch, pictures are sent by default as a smaller size (most likely done so you can send off your photos quickly ). Here is how to send your photos at their full size and full resolution…

1. From your iPhone or iPod Touch home screen, tap on “Photos”.
2. Open your camera roll and find the picture you would like to send full size.
3. Once you have chosen the photo you would like to send full size, press and hold your finger on the picture until the “Copy” option appears.
4. Now tap the “Copy” option.
5. Close the photo app and return to your iPhone or iPod Touch home screen.
6. Now tap on the “Mail” icon to open the mail app.
7. Create a new message and paste the photo(s) in the body of the email message, just by pressing and holding your finger on the message.
8. Once the image is pasted the image now you can add a message to the email, more full resolution photos, and send it off.

That’s it. Now everyone that is sent this photo will have full resolution evidence of your questionable wild night or your child’s cute moment photo, whatever fits your situation.
