Amazon Student Price Checks Textbooks, Helps you Sell Old Ones
I’m currently in the process of getting rid of old textbooks and stocking up on required reading materials for a new college semester, and Amazon’s timing couldn’t have been anymore perfect. As you’re textbook shopping in your college bookstore or elsewhere, Amazon Student let’s you scan the barcode (which is super fast) to compare prices online. Alternatively, you scan the barcodes of books you already have so you can attempt to trade-in books for Amazon gift-cards (for future purchases on whatever you’re looking to buy). Amazon Student does try to get students hooked into the Aamzon Student program (Amazon Prime) with a 6-month free membership, costing $39/year soon after.
The app integrates with other areas of Amazon as well: keep your Wish List handy (useful for all those Amazon gift-cards you’ll be getting back), view Amazon Gold Box deals, and check out purchases right from the Amazon Student app. You can download it for free in the App Store.

DigiTimes: Apple Ramping Up iPhone Production With The iPhone 5
A report in DigiTimes today claims to reveal new estimates of iPhone production for the rest of 2011. In their report, DigiTimes says that Apple has increased the number of orders for iPhones from 50 million units to 56 million units - roughly a 12% increase. Furthermore, they note that iPhone 5 production would represent roughly 26 million units for the rest of this year.
Looking more closely at iPhone 5 orders, DigiTimes says that Apple has revised down their third quarter (July, August and September) orders from 7 million units o 5.5-6 million units. The fourth quarter (October, November and December), however, has seen an increase in orders from 14 million to 20 million units. Production of the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 would also alter between the third and fourth quarters, reducing from 20 million units to just 8 million units in the fourth quarter.
Continued production of the iPhone 4 in the fourth quarter would suggest that Apple is interested in following its recent trend of making the ‘old’ iPhone a cheaper option for those looking to purchase an iPhone. If these suggested forecast figures become reality, it would mean that Apple produces, and likely sells, 95 million iPhones (any generation) over the course of the 2011 calendar year.

QuickShot 1.6 Overview & Giveaway
You’re already familiar with QuickShot as the photo app that integrates with your Dropbox, and now it does video too. That’s right: shoot video, have it appear in your Dropbox via upload video from your photo library (WiFi only is an option for 3G users), and navigate more quickly through the app thanks to some shortcuts utilizing the the settings button (just tap and hold to quickly access your photo library). The Photo Library itself has a hot new update for the iPad, which makes navigation even more finger friendly. For those who like to leave their orientation lock on but would prefer that their camera remain free, QuickShot is now independent of the device so you can still browse email in portrait but take pictures in landscape. QuickShot also has some new abilities under the hood for sharing your media with friends — you can upload photos, email, and copy them from the library (to paste in OmniOutliner for the iPad for example).
QuickShot is a $1.99 universal application available on the App Store, and we’re giving away ten copies to lucky readers who follow the rules after the break.

Apple’s Fall Media Event Scheduled For September 7?
For months there has been discussion of a Fall media event for Apple to reveal the iPhone 5 and according to a report by Kodawarisan Apple has scheduled the event for Wednesday, September 7th. The date falls in line with previous years in which the traditional iPod event was held on September 1st in 2010 and September 9th in 2009 and 2008.
MacRumors clarified with Kodawarisan that the September 7th date was not a “product of guesswork, but came from a source in the know”. They also note that Kodawarisan has had a long history of rumors (nearly a decade) but had recently been pretty quiet - with the last “sucessful” rumor arising in 2009 in whcih they correctly predicted the Mac Mini launch date.
If this date does come true and the event includes the announcement of the iPhone 5, it would differ from reports earlier this month in which AllThingsD claimed an “October surprise” for the iPhone 5 launch.

Toshl Review: Your Personal Mobile Expense Tracker
Call me old fashioned: I like to track my spending habits by writing down (with a pen and paper — more recently OmniOutliner) my purchases. The purpose in tracking your expenses by hand is so you can better verify your purchases against paper or digital statements you get in the middle or at the end of each month, and it also has the side-effect of making you better aware of the money you’re actually spending. If you’re buying a Starbucks coffee everyday, you’re running upwards of $150 a month, minus the lunch you eat out (an additional $400+ if we take $15 meals into account) and evenings spent out at the bar. Money adds up, and that’s not realized when you’re letting a computer do a lot of that work for you. Maybe you can afford it, but imagine how much money you could save to spend on all the awesome iOS apps we review? See.
