Mobile AMR converter

DEXTER'S BLOG'S

You may be having the swankiest cell phone on the planet – but that MMS you are sending to your friend – he may not be equally blessed. You send him a ring tone in .wav format or .mp3 format, while he may be having support for only AMR. So what do we do?

We download a nice little utility from Miksoft called Mobile AMR Converter. As the name suggests, this program converts .mp3 and .wav into AMR, and presently has support to convert .wav back to AMR. The software can also save several SP files into one. The program is strikingly easy to use and a novice gets accustomed to it very easily – after all, there are not many options to meddle with. AMR is the format of choice while MMSing, as it ensures compatibility; and here we have a program which does the job of conversion from the ubiquitous MP3 and WAV to AMR.(More info and download)

SEO Note--Reviewed on freewaregenius.com

Description: SEO Note is a hierarchical notes outliner program for free-form and structured information. It provides the ability to store information within hierarchical trees of topics organized across multiple tabs as well as powerful editing capabilities and a full set of features.

First off let me say: this is a notes outliner program and has nothing to do with Search Engine Optimization (which is what most people think of when they hear ’SEO’). With that out of the way, let me say that like this program for a number of reasons, foremost of which is that it manages to pack an excellent variety of advanced features but does so without overwhelming the user interface with a million buttons/options and an “everything thrown in but the kitchen sink” feeling that is common for many notes programs. read review
