This results in a situation where a user might be listening to a track, then suddenly, “Turn left in 3 miles” (or some other inappropriate sound file) plays.

If, like me you only want to listen to the MP3 files that you have actually put into your ‘Music’ folder, then here is the solution.

Simple!

Place a ‘.nomedia‘ (Right Click, Save As) file into the folders you do not want to be included in the music player.

Restart the phone, then you should only have the music files that you want to listen to in your player!

Works for all Android devices, G1, G2, MyTouch, Hero, Dream, Magic, Sapphire etc.

6. Nextgen Gallery
   NextGEN Gallery is a full integrated Image Gallery plugin for WordPress with a Flash slideshow option. Before I start writing the plugin I study all photo and picture plugins for WordPress, I figure out that some of them are really good and well designed, but I missed a simple and easy administration back end to handle multiple photos, galleries and albums.

Just like Windows Vista, Windows 7 can be used legally for up to 120 days without activating with a valid 25-character alphanumeric product key. Windows typically comes with a 30-day time limit for users to activate their copy of the operating system, but there’s a command that is often used by corporate administrators to reset the 30-day countdown. The rearm command can be used up to three times without violating the Windows 7 EULA. Thus, if the user resets the countdown on the last day each time, he or she can gain up to 90 extra days to use Windows 7 legally and for free. The Windows Secrets newsletter outlined the step-by-step instructions for extending the grace period:

• Step 1: Click Start, All Programs, Accessories. Right-click Command Prompt and choose Run As Administrator. Enter your administrator password.
• Step 2: Type the following command and press Enter: slmgr -rearm (note the space after slmgr and the hyphen in front of rearm.)
• Step 3: Restart Windows 7.

Most users won’t have to bother with these three steps since the majority, about 95 percent, get new versions of Windows with a new computer. For the five percent or so who purchase Windows 7 at retail, 30 days is likely enough to punch in the product key. Pirates will of course have their own methods to get around activation, and here’s confirmation that they have plenty of time to do so. No, this is certainly aimed at administrators who need to delay activation for whatever reason, and even though 120 days seems a little over the top, we’re sure many of them are relieved to know the number of days hasn’t been reduced in Vista’s successor.

Ed Richards, chief executive of Ofcom, said: “We would like to see easier, faster and more convenient processes to enable consumers to keep their number when they switch mobile provider.”

Ofcom said the new arrangement, which should come into force in 2011, would make Britain the fastest country for number “porting” in Europe.

The watchdog first proposed the change in 2007, but the plans were scuppered last year when the Competition Appeals Tribunal (CAT) ruled that Ofcom had failed to prove that speeding up the process would cost operators only £5m.

The UK’s larger operators, led by Vodafone, had argued that the process would cost “significantly more”.

A spokesman for Vodafone said: “Our goal is a system that’s convenient, works reliably and lets customers make informed decisions without compromising vital consumer safeguards against slamming, mis-selling and fraud.

“We are always open to ideas for genuine improvements, but they must give real customer benefits at a proportionate cost.”

Ofcom is also proposing changes to rules which force the customer to contact their provider to request a “PAC code” before they can switch to a new network.

In most European countries the network the customer wants to move to (known as the recipient) arranges the number transfer.

Ofcom said its research showed most British consumers would prefer British operators adopted the same practice.

Matt Hatton, analyst at Analysys Mason, said: “A change to a recipient-led process may make it easier for consumers to switch providers, but it could led to an increase in ’slamming’, where a customers’ provider is changed without their consent.”

Following the success of its first three efforts, the G1, Magic and Hero, the Taiwanese phone maker will likely focus less on Windows Mobile and more on the mobile Google OS.

The report by Digitimes also states that HTC is bringing out another high profile handset (shocking) in September or October of this year based on Qualcomm’s BREW Mobile Platform.

Go-between

This platform acts as a go-between for applications and the hardware, making it easier for developers to code for the phone without having to worry about the interface. This in turn helps lower the cost of the handset too.

The new device will also use the new HTC Sense UI and TouchFLO 3D interface, as the company looks to build on the imminent success of the Hero.

It’s unknown whether this new device will be Android- or Windows Mobile-powered, as September or October will be the point when WinMo 6.5 is likely to be released.

* Based on AOSP 1.5r2, various collected patches, and some help from JF-1.51-ADP
