We told you about YouMail’s latest update on Monday, well now they’ve been so kind as to provide TiPb with ten (10) codes for YouMail Premium to pass on to… you!

YouMail is handier, faster, and more fun than your iPhone visual voicemail – and free! Scroll and play like before, but on any device: iPhone, iPod, iPad, computer, or e-mail account. Enjoy visual caller ID, showing caller photos, name, and city and state. Wow callers, automatically greeting them by name. Share important voicemail easily, and save it forever, neatly organized in folders. And, for a small monthly fee, you can save time by simply reading your voicemail within the app or by e-mail, without ever having to listen to it. YouMail requires iOS 4.2 or later.

Want one? Just download the free YouMail app to get a feel for it, then leave a comment telling us which person you’d most like to get a YouMail message from — famous, fictitious or just plain funny! Make sure you include a real email address (we won’t publish it but will use it to contact you if you win.) We’ll pick 10 of you and give you the codes.)

Ready… set… go!

blueSLR is a bluetooth accessory for Nikon DSLR’s that pairs with your iPhone to embed GPS information into your files as well as allow you to use your iPhone as a remote shutter release. The folks at XEquals sent me a unit to test out and share with you. To find out what I think, follow along after the break!

The hardware is very compact and doesn’t add much bulk to your camera. It plugs into the slot labeled “GPS” and blends in with the camera rather well. There is a small light for indicating bluetooth connection to your iPhone. Once connected, you can use the blueSLR companion app to send GPS data to your Nikon camera to geotag your photos.

The app is very simple and strait forward. Your GPS location information is displayed on the main screen as well as a shutter release button. You can also easily set a timer and tell the camera to take as many as 10 shots. If you only want to use blueSLR as a remote shutter release, you can simply disable the GPS function and save battery life on your iPhone. I’m hoping that a future update adds the ability to adjust camera settings like shutter speed, aperture, and ISO.

There are three blueSLR models that cover compatibility with the following Nikon DSLR models: D3100, D5000, D90, D3(S), D200, D300(S), and D700. At this time, blueSLR is not available for Canon cameras, but XEquals hopes to bring that functionality soon.

If you use a compatible Nikon DSLR camera, blueSLR makes an excellent addition to your camera bag and can be yours for $149.

TiPb checks out the best apps that help you find even better apps to load up on your iPhone or iPad

Have an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, looking for more and better apps but need help sorting through the hundreds of thousands piled up in the app store? Want to find more apps like your favorite or get alerted when apps and games go on sale? No worries, we’ve got you covered. Read on for TiPb’s top 5 apps — and web sites! — that help you find more and better apps!

Genius for apps

Genius for apps is Apple’s own recommendation engine built right into the App Store app on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad under the Featured Tab. Since you bought your apps from the App Store, they know what you have and try to find and show you more apps you like. If you share your device and iTunes library with another person, for example your young children, you’ll probably see a lot of recommendations that interest them and not you but you can always swipe an item to remove and help “train” the Genius system. It’s not the most robust or feature packed app discovery system but again, it’s already there. Both iPhone and iPad. [Free - Built in]

AppStart for iPad

By the fine folks at AppAdvice.com, AppStart for iPad’s goal is as simple as it is welcome — to help new iPad owners with a specific focus find the apps they need to do what they want. Sorting the massive App Store and trying to curate it based on task or user type is no small feat so if you know what you want but don’t know how to get started, AppStart is there to do some of the heavy lifting for you. [$0.99 - iTunes link]

AppShopper

From AppShopper.com, the app brings all the great website services — new and updated apps, price drops and sales, wish lists and popularity trackers — and puts it right on your iPhone and iPad. It’ll even sync to your AppShopper web account. Universal app – download once, use on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. [Free - iTunes link]

148apps.com

Named after the original iOS 2 limit of 148 apps for device, the site has grown almost as fast as iOS 4’s 11 screen, 12-apps per folder-stuffing potential. They track new apps as well as price drops to help you stay updated and on budget. [Free - Web link]

apps.tipb.com

apps.tipb.com is powered by App Tap and brings their social app recommendation engine right into TiPb.com so you can search for apps from our sidebar (look to your right!), see how other users and sites have rated them, and pretty much figure out what’s what — and what’s not — across a fair slice of the web.

Summer Glau did a swimsuit photo shoot for Esquire and in the companion video, busts out an iPhone 4 to take some front-facing pics and to answer a call. We don’t post a lot of celebrity iPhone sightings here on TiPb because, frankly, there are far too many to post (and we don’t have CrackBerry’s eagle eye for them anyway) but when that celebrity is also from Firefly and Terminator… well, that too much geekdom to pass up.

Check out the (Flash! Blame Esquire! Get Skyfire!) video after the break!
