Apple's iPhone represents a significant paradigm shift in modern computing. It is the first mass-production phone in the United States to run a recompiled version of a desktop operating system (Mac OS X). iPhone also contributes the first multi-touch display, and offers an integrated full iPod player, combined with a groundbreaking accelerometer. In addition, iPhone breaks rank with traditional phones, offering a built-in full version of Safari (Apple's web browser for Mac OS X), which delivers full web pages as opposed to mobile-formatted pages. Finally, Apple's Mail offerings integrate traditional consumer email services (as well as Yahoo! push mail), as opposed to closed-platform systems such as BlackBerry and MS Direct Push.

Tips/Tricks/Hacks
Tip: Add iPhone to an existing GoPhone account
Visit this news article for details on how to add iPhone to a GoPhone Pick Your Plan account that was already created. You do not need this guide if you are setting up a new GoPhone account (you can do that inside of iTunes when activating your iPhone for the first time).
Tip: Force GoPhone in iTunes
By default, iTunes activation does not list GoPhone prepaid account plans unless you fail the credit check. To force this, enter 123-45-6789 as your social security number. This is a backdoor to access the GoPhone plans, and is recognized and accepted by AT&T.
Tip: Custom Ringtones
Mac users can make custom ringtones quickly and easily using the latest version of GarageBand. After updating, a new option will appear under File > Export that will allow you to save your sound track as an iPhone-compatible ringtone. For this to work, your GarageBand track must be 30 seconds or less... and it will auto-convert the format you have imported (MP3, AAC, etc).
