It changes the tone of your voice just by saying to the iPhone's microphone. Sliding horizontally your finger on the screen makes it's tone higher or lower, and vertically moving adds effects to your voice.

This album is more Q-Tip sound than the previous album. It is like ATCQ's 1st album "People's Instinctive Travels and the Path" and appears in early native tangue's titles.
You can feel full of rugged samples and loops with his love to HipHop music.]]>

Ofcouse, you can use Skype as VoIP, and also Skypeout.
I tried to call to my cellphone from Skypeout on Fring. And I could recieve the call !!
Fring and Backgrounder is a perfect combination for mobile messaging solution. But there is some lack of function in this app.
1. It forces to start connection of all IM accounts on startup.
2. You can not turn off each IM account (you have to delete the account you want to turn off).
3. You can not set your status of IM.]]>

MxTube is an app which can stream and download YouTube Video.
At first, I thought I did not need this app because I didn't have any compain about default YouTube app except its encoding speed and I didn't need to download YouTube movies to my iPhone.]]>
But, I had some attention to its cute icon. Then I tried it and found it was better than default YouTube App.
Even though wi-fi network is faster than 3G, YouTube stream through wi-fi network is unstable and stops intermittently.
