TOY CAMERA iPhone APP

CLICK TO ENLARGE

I found this ToyCamera iPhone app today.And to be honest it is great.Enhancement for the iPhone built-in camera which really, kinda suck. It is a pretty simple app, with no settings panel. All you have to do is to take a photo, look at it decide if u want to keep it or retake the photo and that’s it. ToyCamera does its job. There is no photo editing knowledge involved. ToyCamera automatically apply different effect to the photo. The only thing is that you have no control over the effects. I took several photos on a dim light in my room and some had the effect you see in the picture attached to this post, some  were black and white, and some had a hint of sepia. At first i thought ToyCamera apply the effects wit a random algorithm, but now i really think its based on the light that hits that object/element that you shoot.

The quality of the images that i took tonight really suck. They all look like u had a 90×90 px avatar and u changed the size of them to a 800×600 wallpaper.That’s the feeling I’m getting from this pictures. And if that’s not enough it looks like the photos were scanned and they got ” scanner dust ” on them.

I cant wait to try it tomorrow on daylight and see what the results will be. The image provided by the developers of ToyCamera its really impressive.

ECHOCHROME – M.C. ESCHER GAME FOR YOUR PSP/PS3

Are you familiar with M.C. Escher’s work? Most certainly! Maybe you don’t know it but you are. Let’s put it this way? Are you a family guy fan? Of course you are. I don’t remember the season or the episode number, but its the one where Brian goes back to college. And at some point in the episode there is a painting on the wall with 2 hands drawing each other? remember? yes you do that’s one of M.C.Escher most famous pieces.

Anyway if you still don’t know what am i talking about, M.C. Escher was a Dutch graphic artist. He is known for his often mathematically inspired woodcuts, lithographs and mezzotints. These feature impossible constructions, explorations of infinity, architecture and tessellations. Basically his amazing work is built around impossible objects such as the Necker cube and the Penrose triangle.

Now since i don’t own a PSP or a PS3 for that matter ( i know, im lame 🙁 ) i didn’t know about this badass game that is available for them. OMFG i am speechless. It is called ECHOCHROME and you help your guy/girl well robot/stickman walk it’s path through a M.C. Escher univers scene. I can’t describe it in greater detail because like i said , my sorry ass dont own a PSP or a PS3 but i belive that this video will give you a feeling of what is all about….. gotta get my hands on this one :D:D:D

GPS ON YOUR 1st GEN iPhone

Finally after all the wait Orange Gadgets is preparing to release the first GPS plug-in for the first gen iPhone.
Included with the GPS module is a 6ft USB-A to micro USB-B cable for on-the-go or at home charging. With this cable you will be able to charge your iPhone or iPod touch while the module is plugged into your handheld device. A suitable USB car charger, USB wall charger or USB desktop/laptop port is required for this functionality (not included). The cable and the GPS device come together for the price of $75 + shipping.

It appears the GPS module will communicate with a 3rd party app along with google maps if the images on their site are any indication. It is currently not clear whether or not you need to have a jailbroken phone to use the GPS module but if I were to take a shot in the dark I’d say probably yes.

HELMET CAMERA CENTRAL

Does your helmet have a bunch of holes? Alright then, come clean, are you a roadie? If you are then you’ll want to get yourself a VholdR Vented Helmet Mount. The vented mount features an easy, but secure, strap system to get you clean lines without a bunch of duct tape. Adjustability comes from a 7-notched system that gives you the flexibility to mount, and then dial in your line of sight.

Where to find that and much much more great products? Well… all you have to do is to click on the link provided above. Their site is amazing. Not only that you will find all of the products that you were looking for at a very good price , but you will be presented with a well structured clean site. I love sites like this ; no time is wasted : get in get what i need and get out. In this case bookmark it , because i will be using it later.

On the lest side you will see the usual menu , where you can find best sellers, helmet cameras, accessories etc. You are not impressed by that i know, i know. But if you look in the upper page ( basically that’s the first thing you will see once you get on their page but….. ) you will have another menu, and what i like about this menu is that they have a compare section and a forum section .

Another great thing that they have , and it seems that this feature becomes more and more popular , is a live chat where you can chat with someone and they can assist you if you have any questions or problems and the FAQ section or any other section of the site can’t help you.

I almost missed the ” Why buy from us ” tab in the upper left corner. Hmm…. they have some strong points here. I give you a couple and i will let you check the rest :

  • We provide tech support for all of the products we sell! Other vendors may ask you to get in line with the original manufacturer’s support center. — i like that. if i have any sorts of problem with a product i don’t need to go from town to town to solve it
  • We respect your privacy. We do not sell our customer information to any other company. We do not send out junk mails or spam to our customers — finally . gold star on the chart for this guys. i had some problems in the past regarding to this issue . very dissapointed about it.

And least but not last : THEY DELIVER IN 14 COUNTRY / REGIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD
