Scopy for iPhone Twitter giveaway!

Posted: 26 Feb 2011 03:20 PM PST

Scopy for iPhone is an extremely well put together Twitter client with a catch. Scopy only focuses on your Twitter friends’ photo streams. It’s very similar to services like Instagram but pulls all your friends existing Twitter photos from your stream. You can choose to sort by individual friend as well.

When I want to upload a photo, I can choose my photo service and apply filters as well. Scopy also pulls photos from tons of photo services, so you’ll never miss your friend’s photos. Hit the jump for a bit more on Scopy and to find out how you can win a complimentary copy!

Services like Instagram only work as long as you’re both using the service and uploading your photos not only to Twitter, but to Instagram as well. This is the reason I like Scopy. It simply searches through your existing Twitter stream and pulls all the images from it. If you’re the type of person that likes viewing people’s photos on Twitter, you’ll love this app. It’s extremely well put together.

If I want to view only a certain friend’s photos, I can simply find them in my friend’s list and view only their photo uploads. The app sometimes doesn’t want to load individual photos for some users so I think it may only be pulling photos within a certain time frame.

Want to try a copy of Scopy for yourself? You’re in luck! The developer has given TiPb a bunch of promo codes for our readers. How do you win? Follow @TiPb on Twitter and at least one of our writers. Shoot @TiPb and at least one writer an @reply with the tag #Scopy. I’ve sent promos to give away to quite a few of our writers but make sure to follow all of us to increase your chances of winning! And you never know when when any one of us may have other promo codes to give away on Twitter.

Here’s our handles on Twitter, and remember, you have to be following TiPb and the writer with the code to win a code!

iPhone 5 part leaked,looks like it may have a larger screen?

Posted: 26 Feb 2011 07:17 AM PST

A supposed image of an iPhone 5 part has appeared on Chinese reseller's website. The image in question looks like the digitizer panel for the iPhone 5. The design is similar to the one used on the current iPhone 4 however it appears to have a larger screen. These assumptions however are not scientific as no measurements have been released with the image.

The main point to note, if indeed this turns out to be a real iPhone 5 part, is the much thinner bezel on the sides. This would correlate with previous rumors that the iPhone 5 would have a screen right up to the edge of the device. This would allow Apple to increase the size of the screen without increasing the devices overall dimensions dramatically. Other rumored specs include a processor bump up to the A5, a tapered rear panel and of course a retina display.

We don't know if this is a real image but the same source claims more part images will be released very soon; either way it is nice to have some iPhone 5 rumors instead of all the recent iPad 2 leaks!

What do you want to see in the iPhone 5? Let us know in the comments!
