While the stock Camera.app in iOS lacks many basic functions, applications in the App Store and Cydia usually do a good job of filling in for the missing features.
There are apps that allow you to take panoramic photographs and there are even apps that will automatically stamp your pics with the time and date. Well, word on the street is that another tweak is on its way to Cydia, and it's bringing some interesting photo-taking features to the stock Camera app...
Following yesterday's news regarding the leaked iPhone 5/iPhone 4S components, comes additional "leaked" parts for the next-generation iPhone.
The latest leak comes courtesy of the folks over at Apple.pro, who have had a good track record with Apple leaks in the past. This time around, Apple.pro seems to have gotten their hands on the next-generation iPhone camera components which seem to have received a notable redesign from the iPhone 4.
Next-generation iPhone rumors are like cute girls on an elevator; there's always room for one more. With little known about Apple's next smartphone, all we have to go on is the gossip.
The latest tidbit comes from GadgetsDNA, who have come across an "iPhone 5G" case on an online retailer's website. Kulcase LTD makes cases for smartphones and apparently they can predict the future...
For those who haven't heard the news yet, the iPhone isn't just a popular smart phone, it's also a popular camera. In fact, studies show that Apple's smartphone is among the most-used point and shoot cameras in the world.
If you too love your iPhone camera, but find yourself missing your old 32mm, Cydia has a tweak for you. Stampr gives your iPhone photos a touch of nostalgia by adding the time and date stamp to the bottom of each snapshot...
Being an avid photographer and cameraman, I was pretty excited when the opportunity to review the Hot Shoe Holder presented itself.
For those of you who aren't camera geeks, the hot shoe is that little metal plate that sits on top of a camera. It's used to mount peripherals (mainly flashes), and while you won't normally find them on point and shoot cameras, they're staples for DSLRs.
That brings us to the Hot Shoe Holder, a small plastic iPhone 4 holder that allows you to mount your iPhone onto your camera's hot shoe.
If you're into photography, no-doubt your wheels are already spinning at the possibilities, while non-camera folks might start scratching their heads.
Why would you want to mount an iPhone 4 on top of a camera? Folks, the possibilities are almost limitless...
It's no secret that the iPhone is the most popular camera in the world. The new iPhone 4's 5 MP shooter is pretty solid when it comes to mobile phone cameras, but unlike standalone picture-takers, it doesn't have many options to tweak. There's no white balance or shutter settings, and no interchangeable lenses.
Patrick O'Neil and Chong Pak are looking to change that with their olloclip accessory. The tiny lens just slides on your iPhone 4, instantly giving you the ability to shoot fisheye, wide angle, and macro photos...
It might seem like the rumor mill is working over time on Apple's next smartphone, but it's really nothing new. Up and coming Apple products typically garner a lot of attention.
There is a ton of speculation about the next iPhone flying around the internet, but none of it has been confirmed. Without an official announcement from Apple, all the tech junkies and investors have to go on are the rumors...
We've seen some pretty cool ideas come from software developers and engineers involving the iPhone. Although many of these technology demos never make it to consumer products, it's always fun to see what people dream up.
This time we have an application that's already made it to the App Store, but the innovation it uses is still astounding. Trimensional is an app for the iPhone that has the ability to scan 3D objects. While that alone might seem boring, it's what you can do with the scanned image that's so interesting...
Cisco has announced that it is discontinuing production of the Flip video cameras. The Flip brand was the king of portable HD video in its prime, but the doors are now closing on the the line of handheld camcorders.
Cisco is a company that's main focus is enterprise and networking, so it was always odd that they produced such a consumer-based product as the Flip. It appears that Cisco will be re-focusing its attention back to the enterprise field, and abandoning the now unprofitable Flip series.
Smartphones, namely being the iPhone, now have built-in HD video recording. It seems obvious that the Flip just couldn't keep up with its competition...
A topic over at Apple's Discussion Forums has a few users reporting an unusual glitch with the FaceTime app on their iPhone 4 handsets. iPhone 4 users are reporting that when using FaceTime, the screen shows a random picture frozen on the screen.
It seems several iPhone 4 owners are experiencing this FaceTime glitch, which is increasing privacy concerns among the community. According to several users, the camera seems to be keeping random images that have not been taken before and don’t seem to originate from past FaceTime calls.
Every week, we select a few apps that have caught our attention over the past week. These apps can be from the App Store, web apps or jailbreak apps.
This week, we have a photography app, music app, and a jailbreak utility app. Hope you enjoy this week's picks!
The details keep coming together for Apple's next-generation smartphone. The device that is set to sell over 100 million units is certainly one of the most popular topics for tech blogs for several reasons. Apple products in general tend to garner more attention; both for their secrecy, and their history of changing the industry.
It's hard to separate rumors from facts. To be honest, until somebody like a Steve Jobs or a Tim Cook makes the announcement, nothing should be considered fact. It gets even tougher to tell the difference when you have major corporations dishing out the gossip.
9to5 Mac is reporting that Sony's CEO, Howard Stringer, just dropped a major bombshell during an interview with Walt Mossberg yesterday...
