Get ready for some exceptional photography! Latest iOS devices like iPhone 4S and iPad 3rd generation have rear camera with advanced optics, that lets you capture stunning photos but what about timing? It doesn't matter how many pixels or how good lenses you have, if you don't time it properly. With Fast Camera app (it works on any iPhone, iPad and iPod touch with camera, not just on latest models) you can take several/many sequential photos to capture moments you treasure. Of course you could record video and then try to search for a frame that suits you the best, but the best resolution for video...

Like many people, I am forever hunting for applications which extend the functionality of my device, and increase its abilities. Without bursting into song about my favorite things, here are three Android applications that make my life easier, and my device much more useful.

You can record your own samples (for "Custom" type of laughing synth) and it's easy to crop the sound recording. It is also possible to adjust the effect of laugh synth. The info screen of this app has funny text about controlling universe. While...

One of the biggest advantages that GO SMS offers is the ability to backup and restore your SMS messages from within the application.  You can back up all messages,...

Coming as I did from the Treo line of smart phones with their hardware keyboards, software keyboards were something of a learning curve.  For some individuals, this curve is steeper than for others.  Here I review a dozen keyboard alternatives which could make that transition easier. One of the biggest features of newer keyboards is their ability to predict what you are trying to type.  In some cases, this can be a good thing (changing “thr” to “the” for example).  In others, it can be a down-right annoyance.  An example of this was when I got my first Android phone, and was sending...
