Top 5 camera apps for iPhone

Posted: 23 Jun 2011 01:56 PM PDT

TiPb checks out the best, most must-have camera apps to make the most out of your iPhone photography

Top 5 camera apps for iPhone

iPhone is the best camera since its the one you have with you, but what’s the best, most must-have camera app to take your photos with? Some are instant, some are clean, some have filters, some are just for fun. Whether it’s for tourism, for art, or for those special family moments, the choices are almost endless.

That’s where TiPb comes in. Read on for our top 5 favorite, most recommended photo apps for iPhone!

Camera

Ok, let’s face it, the stock camera app on the iPhone has gotten a lot better over the past two years with the new features of auto focus, tap to focus, and HDR. And with iOS 5 it’s poised to get even better. Quick launch from the lock screen, volume button as a shutter, grid lines, basic image editing including rotate, auto enhance, and crop, the list is getting longer and longer.

It’s still not perfect, still doesn’t offer filters, panoramas, or higher level editing, but it’s solid and it looks like Apple is putting time into it.

Camera+

Camera+ offers up to 6 times zoom, a stabilizer, a timer, a burst option, the use of iPhone 4′s LED flash, and the option to use both the front and rear facing camera. The picture quality is better than that of the stock camera app, and for only $0.99 it is definitely worth the purchase. In addition filters hand picked by Lisa Bettany, Camera+ also makes sure all the pictures you take get saved into the app itself, it does not automatically save them to the camera roll. In the options menu, it allows you to pick and choose which pictures you want to save to your camera roll. It also allows you to share pictures to Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, SMS, or email. The app also allows you to copy and paste pictures you have taken.

[$0.99 - iTunes link]

ProCamera

ProCamera brings a lot of precise settings to the iPhone, which is nice for the experienced photographer. It has anti-shake, which is nice for those of us who can’t seem to hold still while taking a picture! It also has a timer, a grid option, a video camera option, the option for full resolution when in zoom, and auto horizontal calibration.

It does not have the option to share pictures from the app, or to pick and choose which pictures you want to save to your camera roll, but the other features it offers makes up for it in the long run.

[$2.99 - iTunes Link]

Quickpix

Quickpix has its own zoom built into the application, as well as support for the iPhone LED flash. It also has a really cool feature which allows you to take video and shoot pictures at the same time. This is really handy for events where you want the video but would also like a few snap shots, or if you’re not sure what you want to take and would rather have the capture streaming, ready for anything.

[$0.99 - iTunes link]

Instagram

Instagram is what all the cool kids are using to take pictures, apply filters, and share photos with friends and social networks such as twitter and Facebook. Instagram has tap to focus, zoom, and makes use of the iPhone 4 LED light. The coolest thing about Instagram, however, is the use of filters. Take a picture using the Instagram app and go into your settings options, you have the option to edit the photo and apply effects right from the app.

[Free - iTunes link]

Steve Jobs biography airs tonight on CNBC: Titans

CNBC: Titans will be airing an unauthorized biography of “The undisputed king of Silicon Valley for the better part of three decades,” Steve Jobs, tonight at 9PM PT/1AM ET.

We don’t expect much if any new information, at least nothing that is not readily available via the internet, but a look back at life of the genius who brought us the Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod is sure not to disappoint.

At the very least, it should hold you over until his official biography , iSteve: The Book of Jobs is released.

If you watch the show, let us know what you think!

Regarding Apple patents [Updated]

Posted: 23 Jun 2011 09:37 AM PDT

Regarding Apple patents

Just because Apple files for a patent doesn’t mean we’ll ever see an Apple product using or based on that patent. Just because Apple is granted a patent doesn’t mean we’ll ever see an Apple product using or based on that patent. It certainly doesn’t mean every patent filing deserves a “…for the next iPhone!” or “…in the next iPad!” headline. We’ve been just as guilty of that at TiPb as anyone, so I’m certainly not jumping on a soapbox here. (I’m slumping against the side of it in exhaustion.)

Apple, like any large corporation, patents everything they can just a) in case they want to use it one day, b) to preserve the idea in case someone else patents or implements it, and c) so it can go into their patent war chest for current and future litigation.

They’re fun to look at, to be sure. They’re interesting insight into what’s going on in Apple’s labs, beyond question. But they’re very poor indicators of what Apple will be doing in the next iPhone, iPad, or product in general. Primarily, because Apple is secretive and they’re not going to let anything get published that spoils the next big product reveal or tips their hand in any way. Either they’ll wait until after release to file, or implementations will come long after filings that have since been lost amid hundreds and thousands of others.

So TiPb will still be covering Apple patents in the context of “interesting ideas from Cupertino” and “future of technology” pieces, but we won’t be investing any “next iPhone” or “next iPad” hype into them, or casting the content of them as news.

Because that’s not what they are.

Update: Shawn King beat me to it. [Loop]

Over 1 million unlocked iPhones running on T-Mobile USA

Posted: 23 Jun 2011 06:10 AM PDT

Over 1 million unlocked iPhone running on T-Mobile USA

Seth Weintraub over at 9to5Mac heard from a T-Mobile USA spokesman that their network is already home to over 1 million iPhones, and this is without the benefit of an Apple contract, T-Mobile supplied micro-SIMs, or support for their AWS 3G/4G bands. That means, right now, there are over a million people willing to jailbreak and unlock, or buy an unlocked model, manually cut their SIM cards, and go 2G EDGE only just to be on T-Mo with their iPhones.

There have been rumors that iPhone 5 would support T-Mobile’s AWS HSPA and HSPA+ bands, and AT&T is trying to buy T-Mobile and if that goes through, it probably means iPhones for everyone.

If a million customers are willing to go to the effort of doing it on their own, how many would go iPhone if it was officially offered?

Are you running your iPhone on T-Mo? If so, how’s it working for you?
