Yesterday we brought you a sneak preview of CamFast (previously FastCam), and it’s a tweak that allows you to invoke the iPhone’s camera API using a simple Activator action.
The nice thing about CamFast is that it even works at the Lock screen, and is faster than Apple’s 5.1 Lock screen camera improvements.
Be sure to watch our video demonstration above to see how it works in action.
And you thought iOS 5.1′s new Lock screen camera was fast? FastCam is an upcoming jailbreak tweak that allows you to access your iPhone’s camera API using a simple Activator action.
The nice thing about FastCam is that it works anywhere, even at the Lock screen. In fact, it’s faster than the Lock screen camera feature found on iOS 5, and still faster after the improvements made with iOS 5.1.
Check out our video preview of FastCam straight ahead… Read More
The new iPad features a new camera system from Apple, who detailed the new camera at its media event that took place today. The iPad features a 5-megapixel camera, which includes advanced optics, auto-focus, and white balance. The upgraded iSight camera also features 1080p video recording.
While we’re going to have to wait until March 16th to take our own photos with the iPad’s camera, Apple has posted sample photos (and video) taken with the new iPad on its website. And of course, the photos look stunning… Read More

Photoshop Touch is iPad 2 only, and can be purchased from the App Store for $9.99. Take a look and tell us what you think.

Although it might be hard to believe, Apple gets sued just as much as (if not more than) it files lawsuits. Being one of the world’s top companies with over $70 billion in cash laying around puts a pretty big target on your back.
