PhotoProtect does have a few settings (located in the stock Settings app) including the ability to turn the hack on/off (turning the hack off will allow you to delete photos again) and the ability to type what you would like the pop-up and button to say when trying to delete a photo.

Note: I did have one instance when I had the hack turned on and it still deleted my photo. I went and turned the hack off and then back on again and it worked fine after that.

Other than that one glitch, the app seems to work like it should. You can get PhotoProtect via the BigBoss source.

It’s a super simple little hack. Once installed, you can use the hack by tapping and holding on any photo in the Facebook application. When you release your hold, you will get a pop-up with the options to Cancel the save or Confirm the save. If you select Confirm it will display a little HUD saying that the photo has been saved. You can then go into your Camera Roll and view the saved image.

The hack does have a few settings (located in the stock Settings application) that allow you to enable/disable the hack and adjust the quality of the saved photo. It would be nice if the slider to adjust the photo quality actually displayed the exact quality… maybe we will see that in an update.

Overall, FBphotoSave worked pretty well for me. There were a few times when I had to save an image a few times before it saved to my Camera Roll and one instance when it saved the previous image I had selected instead of the current image I had selected to save. But, overall, it seemed to work pretty well. I’m just stoked that I can actually save images from Facebook now! I don’t even know how many times I’m have tried to do that and then remembered it didn’t work! You can get FBphotoSave via the modmyi source.

Here’s some sweet instructions from Flickr on how to customize your email when sending pictures:

You can use the subject line to give your photo or video a title and the body to add a description. You can also use a special code to add tags before you send your email.

Here’s the special codes:
Just type “tags:” in the subject line or body of the email followed by the list of tags you want added to the photo(s). (The rest of the subject line in is converted to the photo’s title and the body of the email becomes the photo’s description.)

Here’s an example of adding tags in action:
Subject: Lucy, my new cat tags: cute “black cat”
Body: Lucy does the funniest dance moves! Isn’t she cute?

Or you could send them in the body:
Subject: Lucy, my new cat
Body: Lucy does the funniest dance moves! Isn’t she cute?
tags: cute “black cat”

(If you include tags in the email body, they must be at the beginning of a new line.)

This isn’t as nice as using an app but I really don’t like that apps are taking out my geotag. What else are they taking out? The Mobile Fotos app even brightened my picture. Not kewl! I do like that Mail runs in the background so you don’t have to worry about closing the app. Mail also alows you to pick the size of the image you are sending. You can adjust the privacy settings of a pictures too by tweaking the email address a bit when sending your photos through mail:

With our upload system, you can add a little bit of text (the pink bits below) to your Flickr email address (the green bits below) to set privacy levels as you upload. These permissions will override the default upload permissions you set here.

Let’s say your magic email address is foo13bar@photos.flickr.com. Then you could use:

foo13bar+friends@photos.flickr.com – Visible to friends
foo13bar+family@photos.flickr.com – Visible to family
foo13bar+ff@photos.flickr.com – Visible to friends and family
foo13bar+private@photos.flickr.com – Only visible to you
foo13bar+public@photos.flickr.com – Visible to everyone

Tip: Save the addresses you use frequently to your address book so you can email on the fly.

PLEASE let me know if you know of a better app or another system you’re using to upload your photos from your iPhone mobily.

Snappy is a camera application that allows you to launch the Camera without exiting the application you are currently in.

Once you have installed Snappy, it can be launched by tapping and holding the status bar. This will drop the Camera down allowing the ability to quickly take a photo. And by quickly I mean really fast… like wow! The app description says that it is up to six times faster than the native Camera application and I believe it.

The beauty of this application is that it can be launched without exiting your current application. So, you could be reading an email and see a total photo op… instead of closing your email, navigating to the page containing your Camera application, waiting for the Camera to open and hoping that you haven’t missed the photo op… you can just tap and hold on the status bar and voila, take a picture! After you have taken the photo you can hit the Home Button and go right back to reading your email! I love it!

You also have the ability to view your Camera Roll, delete photos from your Camera Roll, send images from your Camera Roll all right from within Snappy… basically you have similar functionality as with the stock Camera application.

Another great feature of Snappy is that it can be launched from the lock screen. In the settings you do have the option to turn on/off both access to Snappy from lock screen and access to the Camera Roll from Lock Screen. So, you could turn off the ability to view your Camera Roll from the lock screen but turn on the ability to launch Snappy, that way you could still quickly take a photo from your lock screen.

Overall, a very cool Camera application! You can get Snappy via the BigBoss source and yes, it is worth the $1.99 price tag.

Video Demo:

Tripod Camera is a multifunctional camera application containing features such as; Anti-Tilt, Anti-Shake, Timer, Full Screen Shutter, Vibrate mode, Fast Saving, 4x Digital Zoom, Tap-to-Focus (3GS only) and the ability to share photos.

In the settings of the application, you are able to turn on/off Anti-Tilt, Anti-Tilt, Anti-Shake, Time, Full Screen Shutter, Vibrate mode and Fast Saving. Each of these option have great descriptions in the settings… props for that!

On the main photo screen you are able to take a picture, zoom in on an image (1x – 4x digit zoom) and preview photos. When you are previewing photos you can easily share them on twitter, facebook, momo or via email. There is also a Tap-to-Focus option (3GS only) that can be enabled/disabled in the stock Settings application under the Tripod Camera option.

I found the Anti-tilt feature to work really well actually, all the features worked really well. I had a little trouble figuring out how the Anti-Shake feature worked but, that was total user error. You have to actually touch the Snap button and then it will automatically take the picture as soon as your iPhone is steady. I keep just waiting for it to take the picture without tapping the Snap button. My bad!

I also like the little features this app contains such as the hand at the top of the screen that tells you when your device is steady. It also displays the current zoom level and if you have a specific option turned on such as the Full Screen Shutter option.

Overall, Tripod Camera is a very nicely deigned and extrememly user friendly application. One of the better camera apps I have reviewed.

It is currently on sale for an introductory price of $1.99.

Feature Descriptions:
• Anti-Tilt – On the anti-tilt mode, your photos automatically become parallel to the horizon.
• Anti-Shake - Anti-shake detects the movement of your device and takes photo when it’s steady.
• Full Screen Shutter – The whole screen becomes shutter. Touch anywhere to take a photo.
• Vibrate mode – Your device will vibrate at snap
• Timer – Gives 10 second interval to snap. Time cannot be used with the anti-shake option enabled
• Fast Saving – Shortens processing time by bringing down the size of photos. Your photos will be saved as 640x480px which is suitable for web/email.
• Digital Zoom – 1x – 4x digital zoom in increments of .2 (1.2, 1.4, 1.6… )
• Sharing – Share your photos on twitter, facebook, momo or via email.
• Tap-to-Focus – This feature is only available for the iPhone 3GS and can be enabled in the stock Settings application under the Tripod Camera option.

If you want to revert back to the carrier file 4.0 (no MMS) you may download here.

Ok, I’m super excited that I got this to work. I really think it has to with AT&T allowing it to work by removing the opt-out codes (the code AT&T put in to block MMS when firmware 3.0 came out). That’s why I think it took a few days for mine to work after doing what I’m about to show you. It’s really really easy. I’m running an iPhone 3GS, jailbroken, not unlocked, on firmware 3.0.1. Your iPhone does not need to be jailbroken for this to work and I have linked to the file needed for firmware 3.1. Here’s how I did it:

PC/Windows Instructions

1. Download this carrier update file (v5.0) if you are running iPhone firmware 3.0 or 3.0.1 (it might work with lower firmware but I haven’t confirmed it.) If you are on the new 3.1, download here (v5.1).
2. Close iTunes.
3. Click Start > Run > type:cmd then press enter. Run this command: “C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe” /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1


4. Open iTunes.
5. Hold the shift key while clicking update under your iPhone in iTunes.
6. Change the file type to “iPhone Carrier Configuration files” by clicking in the the bottom right corner and switching to *.ipcc.

7. Find the file of the carrier update you just saved to your computer in step 1, select it and click open.

8. You iPhone is now updated. You may have MMS right away if AT&T has removed your opt-out code but mine took a few days.
9. To allow for Visual Voicemail to work on firmware 3.0 & 3.0.1 using carrier file v5.0, go to your Settings app > General > Network > Cellular Data Network > and under Visual Voicemail change wap.cingular to acds.voicemail

10. Double check your MMS settings below the Visual Voicemail settings above to match this (do not enter anything in blank fields):
APN: wap.cingular
Username:
Password:
MMSC: mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: 066.209.011.32
MMS Max Message Size: 614400
MMS UA Prof URL:

NOTE: If you are on EDGE it will take a while for the image to send. If AT&T hasn’t removed the opt-out code on your account yet, you will get a red exclamation point next to the message.

Mac/OS X Instructions

1. Download this carrier update file if you are running iPhone firmware 3.0 or 3.0.1 (it might work with lower firmware but I haven’t confirmed it.) If you are on the new 3.1, download here.
2. Close iTunes.
3. Open the Terminal Application and run this command: defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE

4. Open iTunes
5. Hold the alt key while clicking update under your iPhone in iTunes.
6. Find your file of the carrier update you downloaded and select it.
7. Wait for the update. Once it’s done, turn off your iPhone and turn it back on.
8. You iPhone is now updated. You may have MMS right away if AT&T has removed your opt-out code but mine took a few days.

Q. You put a camcorder on the iPod Nano. Why not on the iPod Touch?
A. Originally, we weren’t exactly sure how to market the Touch. Was it an iPhone without the phone? Was it a pocket computer? What happened was, what customers told us was, they started to see it as a game machine. Because a lot of the games were free on the store. Customers started to tell us, “You don’t know what you’ve got here — it’s a great game machine, with the multitouch screen, the accelerometer, and so on.”

Q. How come the Nano can now record video, but can’t take stills?
A. The sensors for doing video are fairly thin. The sensors for doing a still camera, at much higher pixel resolution — and we’d really like to have autofocus — they are just way too thick to ever fit inside the Nano.
