Improve your Drag-and-Drop Workflow
Perhaps you’ve missed an app like Photo Booth on the iPhone. And with the new front-facing camera, I understand you: wouldn’t it be awesome to give your iPhone to your friends and see them laugh as they see their faces stretched and twirled?
Good news is, there’s an app for that.
OCR on the Mac? You gotta be kidding me.
I still can hear those Windows fanboys yelling at me years ago. But when I showed them Prizmo for Mac, they actually shut up. Prizmo by Creaceed is an awesome (yes, awesome) application for Mac OS X that allows you to snap pictures of, say, documents with your digital camera, import them via USB and see the magic happen as the app recognizes text (10 languages are supported), makes a Spotlight-searchable index, adjusts the picture’s brightness and perspective, too. It is indeed magic.
Prizmo is coming to the iPhone, and if you think about the new iPhone camera…that’s a new app on my waiting list.
It seems like the latest trend in the smartphone advertising scene is to make fun of Apple by designing banners containing supposedly funny and enjoyable quotes about reception, cases, bars and whatever it is that makes you think about the iPhone 4.
Samsung did it a few days ago. Motorola is doing it again. Droid-Life laughs at Apple, because Motorola decided to run this ad. Makes sense?
Check out the popular banner and alleged smart description of the product below. Oh, and here’s video of the Droid X, too.
You have taken some beautiful photos with your iPhone 4 so far. You own dozens of apps that help you taking better pictures, with different styles and effects to make them even better.
Maybe it’s time to consider making your own iPhone Macro Lens. Follow all the steps on Instructables, and please report back if you manage to get some actual good photos out of this.
Pano was one of the applications I used the most on my old iPhone 3GS: it’s an awesome photography application that lets you take a series of pictures to build a panoramic view. It’s simple and produces stunning results.
Too bad that as I got the iPhone 4 I tried to install Pano, take some a picture and…it crashed. I tried again, and it kept crashing. Something was wrong with the iPhone 4 camera, I figured. Now, I’ve just noticed an update for Pano in iTunes, which fixes those camera incompatibilities and makes the app fully compatible with the new device.
Awesome news. Pano is available at $2.99 in the App Store.
Ever wondered what’s behind a Gameloft game? Lots of motion capture sessions. Check out the video after the break to get an idea.

“Look how far we’ve come”, the folks over at AppAdvice say. And they’re right: this video perfectly shows how many things have indeed changed in these three years of iPhone, from the original one (the “2G”) to the latest iPhone 4.
Check out the video below. Try not to be nostalgic.
Another interesting update just showed up on iTunes: Osfoora, for Twitter (the iPhone version) has been updated to the 1.5 version, which introduces support for the Retina Display, a better geo-tagging and lots of bug fixes.
We previously reviewed Osfoora for iPhone here (but it’s got a lot better since then) and Osfoora HD for iPad here. I’m currently using Osfoora on my iPad but Twitterrific on the iPhone. Could this new update make me switch again? We’ll see.
Osfoora, for Twitter is available at $2.99 in the App Store.
UPDATE: Roger Byrne (@imrogb) reports that if you’re still running iPhone OS 3.1.x (it seems like he’s running 3.1.2) Osfoora won’t work. A bug? Maybe. If you experience it, please report to @Osfoora.
I’ll admit that while playing SNES games on your iPad or iPhone might be pretty cool, it’s near impossible to virtually replicate the use of the left and right bumpers on screen. Thanks to CP Design, they’ve finally created the iPhone gamepad we’ve been waiting for: one that actually has bumpers.
