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.

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.

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.

tip. “Tap-to-focus” setting is disabled as default on iPhone 3GS. Go to “Settings” on the home screen, and enable the focus option under Tripod Camera.

1Shoot is a Camera application that gives you three shot options; Steady, Touch and Timer.

A double-tap on the screen will bring you to the menu. Here you will find the three shot options (Timer, Touch and Steady). In the Timer mode you have two pre-set times available to choose from; 5 seconds and 10 seconds. The Steady option also has two modes to choose from regular and car mode.

Once you take a picture, the image is added to the bottom of the screen as a thumbnail. You can view the full size image by tapping on the thumbnail once. If you decide you would like to keep one of the photos, you can save it to your Camera Roll by double-tapping it. You can easy delete an image my tapping, holding and dragging the image out of the photo slider.

There are a few things I really like about this application; I like that the Touch mode allows you to tap anywhere on the screen to take a picture, I like that when in Timer mode, the timer doesn’t start until you tap on the screen and then it starts to count down and I like that you can pause any of the shot modes by quickly tapping on the icon in the upper left corner.

There are a few things I would still like to see in the app; a Save All button would be nice so that you could quickly save all the images instead of having to select them all and it would be nice if it saved the image thumbnails when you close and reopen the application.

Other than that, the application has a nice design and with some practice, the interface is fun to use. Check out the App Store Description below for more info and instructions for 1Shoot.

Many of you are probably familiar with qTweeter, a very unique twitter and facebook client. We have been doing reviews of qTweeter for quite a while now. Well, it seems that the app has now been released in the App Store under the title qStatus… and still contains many of the same features.

I received an email from the developers that saying that jailbroke version of qTweeter will need some updating in order to function with the 3.1 firmware… which may take some time. However, qStatus it is now available in the App Store. Obviously, you can not slide from the statusbar to launch qStatus but, the app does still contain the features listed below (which some of the features are actually pretty cool… I’ve always liked this application).

-TwitPic Support
-TwitVid Support
-Tweet Shrink
-Tweet long
-Tweet your currently playing music
-Dedicate the current song your playing to your friends
-Customizeable background
-Twitter update sound
-Preview of the image you are uploading
-Post to Facebook and/or Twitter

App Store Description:

qStatus is the fastest, coolest and most efficient way to update your Twitter and Facebook Status. Below are some of the features:

-TwitPic Support
-TwitVid Support
-Tweet Shrink
-Tweet long
-Tweet your currently playing music
-Dedicate the current song your playing to your friends
-Customizeable background
-Twitter update sound

The beauty of qStatus is its Speed, Efficiency and Flexibility. Once you launch, you can immediately start tweeting and status updating. There is no waiting for tweets to load or buttons to press. It is just straight to the point without having to deal with the distractions of reading other peoples tweets. Once done writing, you can instantaneously post it to Facebook and Twitter or either one.

Music Tweeting is a great way to further express yourself on Twitter and Facebook. So when you are feeling a certain song, posting this to your status is just a few touches away. With qStatus, your Twitter followers and Facebook friends will be able to preview the song and purchase it. How cool is that!!

Another great thing about qStatus is that you are not restricted to 140 characters. There are a few times when you cannot fully express yourself in 140 characters. With our Tweet Long feature, you can fully express yourself and get your message across.

Best of all, qStatus supports TwitPic and TwitVid so you can upload pictures and videos. Unlike other Twitter apps, qStatus does picture uploading in a super cool way with a scaled full preview of your picture. To make uploading pictures faster, we have also put a camera button right in the interface so you can immediately take pictures.

All this great functionality is wrapped in an amazingly cool interface which allows you to put your own custom background.
