Weddings Weddings and More Weddings

Does it feel like you're constantly going to weddings? Lately, it seems like everyone I know has been getting married. I understand how hard it is to actually go through getting married (I've done it), but now I have to sit through wedding after wedding and come up with things to do so not to be bored. Try not to get lost in thought, but don't go without thought completely. The simplest answer if you're bored at a wedding is to just zone out. This actually works really well, but it definitely shouldn't be done all the time. You don't want your family or friends to know that you're bored, and this will be a dead giveaway. Though, that's not to say that you should never zone out. It's best used sparingly, during times when no one will notice. If you start to get restless in your seat, pull out your cellphone and say you have an important business call. This is an especially great escape device for getting out of having to talk to people you don't like. It will also enable you to stretch your legs while you walk around and look at paintings on the walls or explore the building you're in. Meditation is another great thing to do. This works well when you can't leave your seat. What you do is listen to all the sounds around you. This will include people talking, crying, laughing, sneezing, bells, etc. Listen to them as if you're listening to music until their meaning starts to disappear. It helps if you focus on your breathing. To breathe out, just let the air fall out of you naturally and don't force it. Do the same for inhaling. Let your body naturally start to inhale on its own. Eventually, this will slow your breathing down and your body will become very relaxed. As long as you don't take it too far, you won't zone out. It helps if you realize why you're actually bored. Sometimes you're only bored simply because you're not paying attention. Try turning your attention towards whatever is going on in the ceremony and really listen. Pay attention to every single word that every person is saying. Listen really carefully and you'll develop a greater sense of awareness and will possibly become not bored anymore. Sometimes boredom comes out of hatred. Do you dislike the person who's wedding or event you're at? Think about why you dislike this person. Do you even remember why? Try to purge your hatred and think about all the things you like about them instead. By the end of the ceremony I'm sure you'll feel a lot better and will feel much more comfortable when approaching them to congratulate them or shake their hand or give them a hug. So in the end, if you're really bored, there's probably a very good reason. If you're able to recognize why this is, and more importantly if you're able to correct it, I'm sure you'll turn your boredom into something else and you may even have a good time.

An Introduction to Camera Bags

Whether you have a simple point and shoot camera or DSLR camera and a half dozen lenses, you’re probably looking at camera bags to protect your gear. Part of the reason is because the camera bags that are included with most cameras are notoriously flimsy or aren’t practical for daily use. Fortunately you can order a camera bag that suits your needs and fits your price range if you know which type of bag will fit your equipment and your lifestyle. Belt Pack Camera Bags attach around the waist with a padded belt and usually feature a simple snap-lock for easy removal. These bags are generally large enough to hold your camera plus a few lenses, a memory chip and perhaps a flash. If you’ll be moving around a lot, a belt pack bag can be very handy for keeping your camera within reach and ready to use. You’ll also be able to easily get to any of your gear without having to dig down into the bag since belt pack camera bags are usually fairly shallow. The main drawback is the same thing that makes it handy – the fact that it sits at your waist. If you’re leaning forward or want to sit down, the belt pack can be cumbersome and get in your way. Holster Camera Bags are very popular with photographers who want to streamline what they’re carrying. These generally hold a camera, some extra batteries and perhaps a few other small accessories. These fasten on as a shoulder harness, which gives you easy access without the camera bag blocking the front of you in any way. If you’ll be hiking or climbing, these camera bags give you full range of motion and don’t interfere with the use of your arms in front of your body. If you want to carry extra lenses and an external flash, a holster bag will probably be too small. You’re sacrificing some storage room for comfort and ease of use with a holster bag. Shoulder Camera Bags are simply slung over the shoulder with a wide strap. You’ll find an amazing array of sizes and styles when you shop for shoulder camera bags. These can hold a couple of cameras, some extra lenses and memory chips. Depending on the size, you can even fit a tripod into some shoulder bags. If you need to maintain your balance, though, shoulder strap camera bags can be clumsy. You’re carrying all of your gear weight on one side, and it can slide down your arm if you aren’t careful. You also have to be vigilant when setting your camera bag down, which you’ll have to do any time you want to open it up to get your gear out. Backpack Camera Bags are by far the largest and most versatile style of camera bags. These give you maximum capacity for hauling multiple cameras, lenses, a tripod and even a laptop computer if needed. Backpack camera bags are also the most comfortable style because they distribute the weight of your gear evenly across both shoulders and your back. Most feature generously padded shoulder straps and some also have a belt for stabilizing the load at your waist. If you’re going to be doing a lot of walking or climbing, you’ll like the way these camera bags keep your hands free. Look for styles that open from the side or bottom instead of the top for easy access if you don’t want to have to take it on and off very often. Sling-Bag Camera Bags are a variation on the typical backpack bag. It usually opens from the side and has a single strap that goes diagonally across your body from one shoulder to the opposite hip. These give you quicker, easier access to your gear at a moment’s notice, but they aren’t quite as comfortable as a standard backpack style. You may want to try a few different styles of camera bags before you purchase one to see which style best fits your needs. Take into consideration how much you’ll be moving, the positions you’ll be in and how much gear you need to carry to narrow your choices down to a few great camera bags. Buy the one that gives you the most value and versatility for your money.

Camera Cases Make Great Gifts for Your Photography Buff

If that someone special in your life is a photography buff, you know they’re always looking for another camera, a new lens, or a camera case to secure all of their gear. You’ve probably thought about getting them some kind of camera equipment as a gift for their birthday or at the holidays. Unless you’re also into photography, knowing what to pick can be difficult. Every photographer has very specific preferences for their lenses, cameras, and even flashes and tripods. It comes down to a matter of the right feel, what kind of performance they can get for the money and which brands they prefer. It can make choosing the right equipment a guessing game that’s hard to win. But shopping for camera cases is much easier. As long as you know what kind of camera they use and how many lenses they generally carry with them, a knowledgeable sales representative can help you choose from a wide array of camera cases to find the perfect gift. There’s No Such Thing as Too Many Camera Cases There are several reasons your friend would love to get the gift of a camera case. The simple truth is that photography gets to be an expensive hobby, and most photographers have a limited budget. Given the choice between a few new lenses and investing in camera cases, most photographers will splurge on the lenses. This doesn’t mean they don’t actively lust after top-of-the-line camera cases! It just means they have to prioritize, and they choose the essential gear first, then spend whatever is left on camera cases that may get the job done, but aren’t their first choice or simply aren’t comfortable. Some people will invest in one great camera case. They splurge on a terrific bag that has everything they want, only to find that it isn’t practical for every situation. Camera cases come in a variety of styles for a reason. An urban photographer who is moving from location to location throughout the day may want one of the many shoulder strap camera cases available only to find out that when he’s moving around in the countryside, his camera case is cumbersome and awkward. Someone who usually travels light with a shoulder camera bag may become frustrated when he needs to keep additional lenses with him that won’t fit in a shoulder style case. Find out what kind of camera cases your friend already owns and listen to him talk about his outings. Does he mention a need for more room than he has with his current camera bags? Do you hear him complaining that his bag is too much of a hassle to cart around when he’s traveling? Find out what he is – and isn’t – getting from his current camera case and determine what he most needs. Perhaps he would like to be more mobile while taking pictures. One of the many shoulder style camera cases would be a gift he’d love. Maybe he wants to start hiking or traveling more with his camera. If so, backpack camera cases can let him carry everything he could possibly need comfortably. The key is to choose a camera case that gives the recipient increased flexibility. If you still aren’t sure which camera case is the perfect gift, find out what he already owns, then talk to a customer service representative who can introduce you to the various styles of camera cases available so that you can narrow your search down to the perfect gift.

Best places for teen shopping experience

When I was a teen I always wanted to go to the mall. Teens want to go to the mall. They want to shop alone, without parents, without their siblings there. Going to the mall is one of the best shopping experiences for teens. They get to hang out with their friends, talk to boys or girls. It's a way of social networking for them outside of school. Teens want to go somewhere where they can be themselves and be with their friends. Some of the best shopping malls I know of in Nevada are in Las Vegas. The Galleria at Sunset is a huge mall, that's very sunny and open. Light comes in through the ceiling and there is a huge food court and lots of stores to go to. It's also near a Halloween store, Best Buy, and plenty of restaurants. Teens love this mall because there are so many popular stores there like The Gap, Forever 21, and Charlotte Russo. Along with tons of music and video stores and of course all the large department stores like Meryvn's, Dillards, JCPenny, and Dick's Sporting Goods. This is a two story mall which also affords the experience of running up and down escalators and stairs and yelling at each other from one level to another! Not that mall security much likes that, but it's what teens want to do. Another great mall in Vegas is the Boulevard Mall. They have a lot of the same great stores as the Galleria, however this is a very large and long mall. All one story and on a main street in Vegas, near tons of fast food restaurants and not far from the high schools in the area. This is also one of the only malls in Vegas where you can find a Hello Kitty store that sells everything Hello Kitty along with all the other Hello Kitty friends. Some of the higher end malls that teens want to go to are at the casinos. During the day they can definitely be there, at night it's a little bit different and a lot busier. The Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace, The Venetian, Planet Hollywood just to name a few. These malls are very cool and have a lot shops and stores in there that your not going to find anywhere else in Vegas. Teens love these because there on the strip, in the heart of Vegas and there is so much to do at the mall and the casino itself. Teens want a fun experience while shopping so they can interact with their friends and get away from it all.

Antique Furniture- A Guide to Buying Antique Furniture

Antiques are like an investment. Make sure you know your ins and outs Antique furniture can add style to your home. Incorporating distinctive antique furniture pieces in your house can add calls in your surroundings. There are of course, a few things you should keep in mind before you buy that wonderful piece of furniture. For a piece of furniture to be considered an antique it should be older than 100 years old. Some say 60 but most collectors would agree on 100. Anything less is considered a collectible item. Its value clearly depends on the particularities of the piece. Georgian period furniture, Regency furniture or Victorian and Edwardian pieces offer a distinctive style that can easily be incorporated in most modern design homes. For the experienced interior designer, when antique furniture is placed in scarcity throughout a home, they enhance the décor by reflecting the actual value of the antiques. Rare antiques have a higher value. The rarity of the antique is determined by how many similar pieces of the same furniture are available for purchase. Furthermore, the condition of an antique will certainly affect its value. Always look for flaws; at least one or two. When an antique does not have any flaws it means it has been refurbished. Look for antiques that have aged naturally. If the furniture has been cared for then it should be worth more. Also keep in mind that original pieces contribute to raising its value. After you acquired your antique handle it with care. Keep in a clean environment and maintain it regularly. One you need to avoid is over cleaning your item because it will remove the natural chemical formations on its surface. These formations are what give it its distinctiveness. Owning antique furniture is like an investment. The value of the antique, however, depends on a number of factors that are associated with the piece of furniture itself. The era, the age, the quality, are just a few indicators of price. Always remember, that antiques are primarily valuable because of their age. What will add more value to your antique are factors such as quality, distinctiveness, splendour and period. Antique collectors are always looking in new places, and the internet is becoming very popular in the search for antiques.

Keeping your antique furniture clean When cleaning antique furniture make sure that it becomes part of your regular cleaning routine; do not neglect your antiques. Dust your antiques every few days, once a week at the very least. Use a soft cloth to avoid scratches. Avoid using sprays of any kind especially those that include furniture polish. Chemicals used in the manufacturing of these sprays for the purpose of repelling dust and grime can actually damage your investment by staining the wood or causing weak spots. Cleaning antique furniture should be about preserving it rather than adding to the wear and tear. What you can use to clean your wooden antiques is orange oil; use it once a week. Consider waxing every few months as well. Applying a thin coat of wax to the wooden surface of your antiques will allow it to shine. Protecting the wood Cleaning antique furniture can damage the wood if it is not done correctly so make sure you use all the protection necessary. Clean any liquids that fall on the wooden surfaces immediately and do not allow the fluids to sit.

Keep in mind that antique furniture can add style to your home and surroundings; incorporating distinctive antique furniture pieces in your home layout ads class.

Recognizing a Quality Camera Case

The number of different sizes and styles of camera cases is amazing, and choosing the one that’s right for you can be difficult. While a lot of your choice should depend on the style and size that will work for you, it’s also important to consider the materials used in the construction of your camera case. They aren’t all made from top quality materials that will give your camera the best possible protection. Closed cell foam is the best form of cushioning inside a camera case. While almost any camera case, particularly in the larger models, will have some foam to absorb shocks and cushion the camera and lenses, some use open cell foam. Over time, this foam can fall apart, flake and become damaged. Open cell foam is also highly absorbent, which you don’t want. Closed cell foam is lightweight, won’t fall apart and can’t absorb water. You may never have to worry about water, but if you do drop your camera case in water, the last thing you want is foam padding that quickly soaks up water and drags your camera case down like a rock. Genuine Velcro fasteners make it easy to open and close your camera case without having to fumble with snaps or fasteners. You can open your bag with one hand and close it just as easily. The only exception would be on the belt or shoulder strap of a camera case. These should be snap-tight fasteners to ensure a snug, reliable fit that won’t come undone when you’re moving around. Check out the lining of any camera case you’re considering. A soft, pill-resistant lining is a must so that there are no exposed seams that could fray and scratch your camera lens. Not all camera cases are fully lined, which is unfortunate. Everyone backs their case a bit differently, and while the manufacturer may think the lined pocket is for lenses and the unlined one is fine for keys, you may want to switch things up, in which case if the bag isn’t fully lined, you’ll risk damaging your camera lens. A top quality camera case will be made of water-resistant nylon or neoprene. You can find some truly luxurious looking leather camera cases, but these are more attractive than they are practical. Neoprene holds up under any weather condition, is water resistant, lightweight and easy to clean. Leather is ruined by water exposure and quickly absorbs dirt, grime and sweat. All you need to clean a neoprene or nylon camera case is a damp cloth or sponge. If you’re using your camera and gear outside frequently, you’ll be glad you went for an easy clean camera case. Finally, look for thoughtful features such as mesh pockets. These make it easy to see what you’re looking for. They’re great for storing extra memory or batteries and take up only as much space as needed for whatever they’re holding. Mesh pockets give you flexibility that fully closed pockets don’t. The most important component of a well-made camera case is the warranty. In today’s market, you can find camera bags with warranties that last anywhere from a year to ten years, or you can find a lifetime warranty against defects. Don’t settle for anything less than a lifetime warranty. If your camera bag was constructed properly with the materials we’ve discussed above, it should easily last you a lifetime.

3G iphone unlocking process

iPhone is a new generation of gadget for the young generation. Revolutionary approaches of Apple with their new touch screen technology, has drawn a lot of attention and great market hype. Multimedia capabilities of iPhone are really impressive (iPod like music library, video including watching TV shows and films, 2.0 megapixel cam etc...)

Internet was always full of various websites and respective sellers with different services.

Always think about safe payment and technical support provided. Be careful and you will easily and safely unlock your 3G iPhone.

Choosing The Right iPhone Unlock Solution

First and foremost, why would any iPhone owner want to unlock their iPhone and risk spoiling their beloved iPhones? The problem arises when iPhone manufacturers choose to release iPhone with proprietary firmware. That means the iPhone can only connect to the official carrier. As such, the use of the iPhone is limited. On the internet, many developers have developed lots of content for iPhones. Content range from simple digital files like wallpapers and ring tones to more sophisticated applications like software and games. Without unlocking the iPhone, the owner cannot enjoy the wide variety of content that is freely available for download on the internet. In other words, it's all about freedom - freedom to any third party applications on one's iPhone. In the fight for freedom, many iPhone owners are searching for simple and easy to follow instructions on how to unlock their iPhone. Such instructions can be easily found by performing a simple search on one of the major search engines. The only problem with such freely available solution is that there is no guarantee that the instructions will work. An iPhone cost a few hundred dollars, and you definitely don't want any dubious unlocking solution to convert your iPhone into a useless piece of hardware. Fortunately, there is another solution. Innovative and enterprising online business owners are starting new websites that offer iPhone owners unlocking solutions. These solutions may come with special software or hardware. When choosing the ideal solution provider, make sure that the instructions are simple to follow. So far, the best solution in the market offers a one-click unlocking solution. The unlocking process is also reversible. The major benefit of buying an off the shelf solution is that you get great support from the vendor. If you encounter any problems during any part of the unlocking process, you can always email the vendor. In any case, if the software doesn't work, you can always ask for a full refund. So there is no risk involved. However, such circumstances are extremely rare. On top of enjoying great support, you will also be given a chance to download lots of free content when you make a purchase. A successful unlock means that you can now freely install many third party applications. iPhone unlocking solution providers usually have a private member area, where you can proceed to download lots of cool stuff like wallpapers, games, etc. Finally, be reminded that your iPhone firmware gets updated every now and then. That means your iPhone may be re-locked every time there is a firmware update. When you buy an iPhone unlocking software, it usually comes with unlimited lifetime updates. That means whenever the manufacturer releases a firmware update, you will also get to receive the updated software to unlock your iPhone - for free! Given the major benefits listed above, one might expect the price for such a useful piece of software to be astronomical. However, you can expect to unlock your iPhone for an affordable one time fee of less than 50 USD. That's a small price to pay, considering the huge amount of value that you would be getting.

How to Choose an iPhone Unlocking Software That Works

iPhone unlocking can be an intimidating task for those without any technical knowledge. There are information, freely available on the Internet, on how to unlock iPhone. Many can testify that such the process really works, but it involves tinkling with your iPhone hardware and software. And if you did something wrong somewhere during process (and often not knowing when you did something wrong), your iPhone may stop functioning, and you can wave goodbye to the few hundred dollars that you've paid for the iPhone. Therefore, it's important to spend some time to look over some of the solutions out there to find out what is the most suitable iPhone unlocking solution. If manually unlocking the iPhone is not for you, then I have good news for you. There are innovative software developers out there who have developed software solutions where you can install and unlock your iPhone with a few simple steps. The benefit of such solutions is that they are often very easy to implement, and if something does go wrong, at least there is someone around to help you with the problems. iPhone software unlocking solutions will cost you some money, usually around thirty to fifty bucks, but this is to compensate the developers for putting in the time to develop the software so that the process is simplified. So much so that even dummies know how to use it. Before making a purchase, check out their support. Send them a pre-sales question via email and observe how long it takes for them to respond. If your email is unanswered, or it's not answered to your satisfaction, you may wish to choose another software vendor. This is to avoid becoming a victim of a merchant who over promises and under delivers. It happens sometimes, so be smart and avoid being a victim. If the responses are timely, and responded in a professional manner, continue to assess the vendor by checking the information on the website. Or visit their online knowledge base if it's available. Chances are, any questions that you may have are already answered on the website. Remember that your goal is to choose a software that's easy to use. If the installation process sounds overly complicated, and you don't feel comfortable using it, move on to assess other vendors. If you insist on trying out the software, check if there are any money back guarantees. Money back guarantees are nice to have, but software vendors must be able to honor them. Again, that's another reason why it's important to have someone responding to your emails. Otherwise, if no one is responding, you'll face problems claiming your refund. Recently, the more competitive software vendors have come up with one click solutions to unlock your iPhone. For sure, it can't get any simpler than that. Unlocking your iPhone also should not mean that you should sacrifice any features available on your iPhone, so be sure to check with your preferred software vendor.

The Biggest Problem of iPhone Unlocking

To separate the true information, or information that really works, from the bogus information is one of the biggest problem of iPhone unlocking. There are simply too many sources of information out there on the Internet, claiming to be authority sources, and yet no one can really tell for sure if the information provided really works. Unless, of course, someone really goes and try it out. But although the information is readily available, and some sources are free, it takes some courage to test out the information in reality. That's because even when the information is free, the iPhone still costs a few hundred dollars. And if the information doesn't work, the process may leave the iPhone unworkable, and the unhappy owner will be short of a few hundred dollars. Anyone looking to unlock an iPhone is certainly looking to save money, and not lose more money. So definitely, there are some risks involved. Even then, the job isn't easy for the courageous ones who dare to try out the unlocking process. Many sites give out or sell information and tools that are so complicated that a non-technical person may misunderstand the messages and do something wrong. Now this has got nothing to do with the website. The information or tools do work in this case, but it's just that the process is a tad too complicated for non-geeks. And if the process is too complicated, either something can go terribly wrong in the process and causes the iPhone to stop working, or the owner give up completely. If it's some source of information of some kind of software that the owner has paid for, then it's all for nothing. But the good news is, once you understand this problem, you have greatly increased your chances of unlocking your iPhone. You see, when you break this problem down a little, it comes down to two things: reliability of the source, and the complexity of the process. What you want is to locate a reliable source for the information or tools that you need, and make sure that the process is simple enough for even a non-geek to carry out. To locate a reliable iPhone unlocking website, perform your due diligence and check out some website reviews. What you shouldn't do is to simply make a purchase from the first iPhone unlock website that you come across. I know it's an exciting possibility to be able to unlock your iPhone, but taking the necessary precautions will definitely save you time and money. So spend a bit of time reading the reviews, and do some quick checks on the pricing for comparison. Next, be sure to check out the unlocking process on the website. Don't just assume that the information is easy to follow just because it says so. Email the merchant if you have any questions and gauge for yourself how soon the merchant responses. If the merchant does not response, stay away! After all, if the merchant can't be there for you to respond to a sales inquiry, chances are he's not going to be there for you if there's a problem later on. So you see, it's not too difficult to overcome the biggest problem of iPhone unlocking. It just takes a little time and effort. And once you successfully unlock your iPhone, you'll be glad that you've heeded the advice in this article.

Fans are Fighting For Their Freedom by Unlocking iPhones

It started with a viral video that spread like wild fire on YouTube. A teen uploaded a step by step video on how to unlock his iPhone so that he can use it freely with other cell phone Carriers instead of AT&T. Whether or not the instructions work or not a story for another day, but with a video like that, the only consequence is that thousands of people all over the world are now well aware of the possibility of unlock their iPhones. Also, the fact that this video attracted so many eyeballs say a lot about what the end users want. Many fans love the iPhone, but want to continue having the freedom to stay with their own Carrier. So having a way to unlock their iPhones sound like a dream come true. To meet this demand, many people have come up with different ways to unlock the iPhones for the consumers. Some retailers are rumored to charge a service fee to unlock the iPhones, while others have come up with easy to use software to achieve the same thing. A journalist, eager to test out some iPhone rumors went out to get himself an iPhone. While at the retail store, he asked if someone at the store could unlock his iPhone for him. He was turned down immediately. Despite having an unpleasant refusal, he went ahead and bought the phone and paid four hundred over dollars for it. When he got back home, he tried to follow some instructions online to unlock his iPhone himself. He said that he understood the risk of doing it himself, as he could break his iPhone and never get to use it again. Nevertheless, he was dying to know if the unlocking rumor is true. So he went ahead and tried to apply the instructions he downloaded from a website. To his surprise, the unlocking instructions worked! Here's when things get really interesting and exciting. He mentioned that he's not a tech geek, and yet he could pull off something like that just by following some instructions he found on the Internet. Now he gets to enjoy using his iPhone without having to change his cell phone carrier, and is also able to download third party software. Being able to download third party software is a huge advantage, considering the large number of useful applications that can be downloaded freely. For example, there's a free software that allows iPhone users to upload images directly to Flickr. And you can't do all that without unlocking your iPhone. So the journalist must be very happy that he got his iPhone unlocked! The fan side of the argument goes something like: If I bought the hardware, I own the hardware. And I paid over four hundred dollars for it. So what business is it of anyone else if I modify it the way I like it? It's tantamount to modifying a car or a computer that I own. At this point, it doesn't really matter if that argument is reasonable or not. All we know now is that iPhone must have done something right, as thousands and thousands of fans are fighting for their freedom by unlocking their iPhones. It sure is a super cool piece of gadget.

Unlock any iPhone including 3G 2-2-1

Unlocking the iPhone has been a constant battle for many iPhone owners. The unhappiness is caused by the fact that the hardware comes with a restriction - i.e. they can only connect to the AT&T network, which is supposed to be the official network. This business move make fans very unhappy as they feel that the features are being restricted by this "rule", which is programmed into the iPhone. So they started looking for a solution to unlock the iPhone. Some call this process jailbreaking. Within a few weeks, an innovative teenager came up with a way to unlock the iPhone, and posted the video on to the popular video website YouTube. The video attracted hundreds of thousands of page views, probably generated by eager iPhone owners looking to unlock their gadgets. This opened up the entire locking versus unlocking game. Owners now know that it is possible to unlock the iPhone. Shortly after, websites began to spring up all over the Internet, claiming that they have the software that will help unlock the iPhone. An unlocked iPhone can be used to install third party software and applications. These applications may then be used to download literally gigabytes of free content on the Internet. Such content includes music files, movie files, more software, wallpapers, etc. Vendors understand the needs and wants of the owners. So on top of offering software to help unlock the iPhone, they also bundle tons of useful and free bonuses along with each purchase. Fans may now download to their heart's content after unlocking their iPhones. In the beginning, the unlocking method was clumsy and not very efficient. It requires the owner to tamper with the hardware before the gadget can be unlocked. But developers have evolved so much that they are able to come up with an easy to use software solution. Using software means that there is no need to work on the hardware. Just install the software, follow the instructions, and the gadget will be unlocked in just a few minutes. After that, any SIM card can be used to connect to any carrier worldwide. If a customer ever runs into problems during the unlocking process, there is always a support department that is on standby to help answer emails and solve customer problems. To date, several unlocking solution vendors have claimed that they have sold thousands of copies of such software. A few have even sold millions. The earlier generations of the unlocking software was meant to unlock versions such as 1.*, 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 2.1. Then Apple came up with firmware updates. Some iPhone owners complained that their gadgets became locked again after updating the firmware. And they are unable to use the software to unlock the phone again. Now, the latest version of the software not only unlocks version 2.2 and 2.2.1, it even unlocks 3G iPhones. That may come as a surprise to many phone owners as most are expecting a SIM card unlock for 3G iPhones. The solution is backward compatible, and can still be used to unlock all previous versions of iPhone.
