New Software Empowers BlackBerry Users to turn any Media into Ringtones

San Diego, CA – Information Appliance Associates, creators of industry-leading mobile connectivity solutions, announces the release of the PocketMac(R) 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 USD. 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.”

A YouTube video demonstrating PocketMac RingtoneStudio for BlackBerry is available. More information about the PocketMac RingtoneStudio for BlackBerry can be found at their website.
