I used Skitch on my Mac about a year ago when it was really popular, but the image editing tool fell off my radar after I started using more robust apps, like Pixelmator. A lot has happened to Skitch in the past year. The app has actually been bought by Evernote.
Skitch has entered the iOS world today with an official iPad app. The tool lets you edit and annotate images on the iPad with your finger.
The concept of Flashy Status is a good one: make it more evident when your flash might fire when snapping a photo with your iPhone's camera.
It accomplishes this by illuminating the 'On' button on the Camera app's flash settings with green. You can either make it a solid green, or a more visible flashing green.
And while I suppose this is nice to have, there's one key feature missing from this tweak that keeps it from being really useful...
Apple recently introduced Photo Stream, the iCloud service that keeps your photos in sync across your iOS devices and desktop computers.
The problem with Photo Stream is the distinct lack of video support. Apple and the carriers don't want to be sending huge video files over their networks. With the iPhone 4S now recording 1080p video, that's a lot of data going over 3G.
Thankfully, Apple has given developers an API so they can get their teeth into iCloud's storage servers, and that is where one developer saw its chance. Video Stream offers a way to keep video files in sync across multiple devices, just as Photo Stream does for images...
The Kogeto Dot is a 360° panoramic video attachment for the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S. We were fairly impressed with its capabilities to take great action videos in our video review of the device.
Since we're finished with our review, we're happy to pass on the 360° panoramic goodness to one of our readers. Check inside for your chance to win your very on Kogeto Dot...
It started as a Kickstarter project and it received enough interest and funding to turn into a reality. The Kogeto Dot is a nifty little peripheral for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S that allows you to shoot 360 degree panoramic video.
It's the perfect accessory for recording sporting activities and pretty much anything that involves action. Take a gander at our hands-on video review of the Kogeto Dot...
Patent applications aren't always a sign that something is definitely going to make its way to market, but they can often be a good indication of the kinds of things companies are looking at adding to products.
That said, we have another patent application from the boffins at Apple, and this time it appears to be a new way of sending and receiving data between two devices. The system will use the devices' cameras as a way of establishing a secure connection...
Instagram is definitely in danger of taking over the world. What started out as a neat little app for taking and sharing stylised photographs on an iPhone has ballooned into something more than we could ever imagine. But wouldn't it be awesome to get those great photos off of your iPhone and into the real world?
Bursting out of the digital realm and into the analog one is something that Instagram photos have done before. Not that long ago we told you about an art gallery that was opening in London. The gallery was going to be showing Instagram photos, and only Instagram photos. If you ever wondered what it would look like to take an iOS app and blow it right up, then this is perfect example. Well, this and Angry Birds.
Now you can take your Instagram photos and have them made into all manner of photographic keepsakes, and we have to say that they look pretty impressive...
According to some excerpts from Steve Jobs' recently released biography, the ex-CEO wanted to "reinvent" three markets: television, text books, and photography. The first is still a rumor, the second is happening as we speak, and the third is still up for discussion.
Looking at the image upload data from Flickr shows that the top four most popular cameraphones are iPhones, and the most popular camera overall is the iPhone 4. So is this what Jobs was talking about? Or did he want to build an actual camera, like this one?
According to Flickr's image upload data, a lot of people use their iPhone as their main camera. Not only is the iPhone 4 the most popular camera (not smartphone, camera) on the photo-sharing site, but Flickr's top 4 cameraphones are iPhones.
And the iPad, well, we all know how popular Apple's tablet is. USBFever might actually be onto something with its new cable accessory that connects the two products, allowing users to transfer photos from the iPhone to the iPad with little effort...
Not only does Apple make a fortune from its iPhones, iPads, and anything else with a lower-case "i," but it also spawned thousands of awesome accessories. The iPhone especially has seen some interesting accessories come its way, and "interesting" is probably the best way to describe this particular case.
Weighing in at $250 and sporting three rotatable lenses, the Lens Dial is perhaps more than a normal case, but it is also one of the more whacky.
The Lens Dial, carved from aircraft-grade aluminum, packs the three lenses shown in the picture, allowing photographic types to take all kinds of images using the iPhone's built-in shooter...
The iPhone 4S' rebuilt 8MP camera is one of the new handset's most talked about features. It captures sharper images with much better color in low-light situations than its predecessor, with 60% more pixels.
Apple has even been touting the 4S as a point-and-shoot camera replacement, and it seems like iPhone 4S owners agree with that statement. The handset has just become the second most frequently used camera phone on Flickr...
Remember that iPhone camera remote of Belkin's that went through the FCC last week? The accessory maker has now made it all official, and the remote even has a friend tagging along for the ride.
Belkin today announced the LiveAction Camera Remote alongside the LiveAction Grip, both of which will cost $49.99, with the former now available for pre-order and the latter shipping today.
Both accessories look to take advantage of the cameras in the iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and of course, the iPod touch...
