PocketMac promotion for OLPC

Since this is for a good cause I thought I’d mention it here. PocketMap is the publisher of RingtoneStudio 2 for the iPhone, The software is used to create iPhone ringtones and sells for $29. During the months of August and September PocketMac will donate $10 to OLPC for every copy sold. The contribution will be made in the purchaser’s name. A pretty decent amount given the price of the software.

You can find the software at the PocketMac site.
