PMA Day 3: The presentations continue

Following on from day 2 of the PMA event (which was actually day 1 of the official trade show), the Best Camera app demonstration attracted a nice crowd (this was possibly due to the misleading wording for the presentation, as I heard a number of people say "look Chase Jarvis is going to be here").  Anyway the presentation started, I showed a short video of Chase promoting his app (Chase and his people gave me permission to do this), and then made a short joke about Chase not being here and that they had drawn the short straw and it was me doing the demo.  Thankfully, and despite the technical issues we were have with WiFi connectivity at the event, the demo went without any hickups.

Next up it was the turn of TiltShift Generator, and then it was lunch time.

After lunch it was Sion's turn to give his second presentation about his iPhoneography, and this was to an almost full house.

John has very kindly given me 3x promo codes for each of his 2 apps to give away here on the iPhoneography blog, so if you would like the chance of getting one, then post your request  specifying which app you would prefer, or any, if you have no preference in the comments section.  Note: As with all promo codes you will need a US iTunes account to redeem them.

After John had completed his presentation it was time for me to take the hot seat again, giving an overview and comparing Adobe's PS Mobile app with Photogene.

For our final session of the day, we had Hal Denton and Ross Pirtle from Tunaverse Media Inc., who talked about their photo syncing app Cinq.

Photo app updates

Over the past week some of my most favourite photo apps, and those that have been featured on this blog received updates, but rather than create separate posts for each I have decided to rap the updates all in one post, so here goes.

First off the mark is Best Camera, which received the following minor update.

  • New option to Auto-save your original photo when shooting with the camera
  • Facebook sharing now uploads to the "Mobile Uploads" album

Then iFlashReady was updated to address bugs related to the stability of the app, but sadly this has not fixed the app crashes I've been experiencing.

Apps that we've covered, but not necessarily recommended have also been updated, and these include...

Camera Plus, which now boasts...

  • The innovative point zoom
  • The best quality Flash for free
  • One tap access to Camera Roll

...but sadly still does not support full resolution. Despite this app being free, the same effect could be achieved by cropping your photos at a later stage.

iStalin got an update, adding a whole host of new features and bug fixes, as well as having its price reduced to £0.59/$0.99

NEW FEATURES:

  • Share your pics on Facebook directly from iStalin

NEW ADDITIONS:

  • 5 new stickers

CHANGES:

  • Changed the background colors of several stickers in order to blend better on the pictures

BUG FIXES

  • performance improvement when selecting an image
  • fix picture rotation depending on the camera position
  • fixed 2 possible memory leaks
  • less memory consumption
  • use the same background picture for stickers and texts
  • fixed stickers and texts flickering while zooming
  • keep current scroll position of background picture after selecting a new text or sticker

Mill Colour, whilst not my favourite of apps got a much needed boost for iPhone 3GS users with...

  • Added support for the higher resolution camera in the iPhone 3GS, with image sizes up to 2048 x 1536
  • Increased the default resolution to 1280 x 960, up from the more conservative 1024 x 768. Changes can be made in the Application Preferences, in Settings

...and all for FREE!!

And finally

TiltShift Generator was updated, with the most requested feature...

  • Hi resolutaion image export.

...as well as some minor tweakes like:

  • Twitpic, yfrog supports.
  • Small UI improvement
  • Tutorial is addes.

So that was this weeks key updates for me, and I may even be tempted to buy iStalin at its current low price of just £0.59/$0.99
