Two best websites for iPhone users

If you are an iPhone user, then there are two premium quality websites that you must visit.
Zedge:
ZedgeScreenshotThis is my personal favorite and I would recommend it to not only iPhone users but to everybody who uses cell phone. I've never seen such a great website before. The site is built especially for mobile phones and is accessible at m.zedge.com (in mobile) and www.zedge.com (computer). The website has elegant design with easy to use navigation. Zedge practically supports all mobile phones. You can download ringtones, wallpapers, themes, videos, games and text messages. However, I did not find any applications available for mobile users. The website supports iPhone but does not provide games for iPhone users and I know that's pretty embarrassing. However, you can find wallpapers  and themes formatted especially for iPhone. I did find many iPhone formatted videos but most of them were forcefully converted without taking care of the aspect ratio. So, the videos looked too broad or too narrow.

The reason why I like Zedge so much is because of the quality of rich tools it provides. Zedge gives it's visitors full freedom to do the thing of their own choice. There's a voice maker which allows you to type a text, select voice and add background music. Zedge sandwiches everything for you and presents you with a beautiful ringtone. Similarly, you can make screensavers, wallpapers, themes or even personalize your phone using screensaver maker, wallpaper maker, theme maker and personalizer. I find these tools very innovative and are really the best around. You can become member of Zedge community for free and then you can upload your own creations to present the world.

Mobile9:

But same as Zedge, Mobile9 does not provide games/apps for iPhone. Thats because 3rd party apps aren't available on the site. I think they should make it available for jail broken iPhones or else, they should feature some of the apps from App Store. However, Mobile9 does show softwares available for download even though iPhone is selected as current phone, which I think is a flaw and they should immediately do something about it. The most annoying thing for this website is that even though you have selected your phone, it asks you to select your phone again when you click on any link such as 'Apple wallpapers'. In spite of this, the website displays link 'Are you looking for <your phone> wallpapers?' which would take you directly to the page displaying your content. However, I still find interface of Zedge more easy to use because it is standard and direct.
The reason for selecting Mobile9 as a website for iPhone users is that it allows you to post your problems online and notifies you as soon as somebody replies to your question. In this way, the site helps you to solve your problems just as Yahoo answers does. This facility is available on the following link:
http://phone.mobile9.com/answers/
I think that Zedge should include this feature as well in order to increase the productivity of their website.

From my point of view, Zedge is the best in case you want to fully customize your mobile phone but if you want to solve your problems really quickly, then Mobile9 is the best place because it's discussion forums are focused only on mobile whereas Yahoo answers is an all round discussion forum in which selecting a wrong category of your question might leave your question unanswered forever.
