The CEO of Snapture Labs, the developers of the very cool camera application Snapture, has released a letter to jailbreak customers. A couple days ago we informed you that Snapture (formally a jailbroke application) had made it’s way to the App Store. This left many of us wondering where those of us who purchased it as a jailbroke app stood. Well, the company has decided to address the issue giving everyone who purchased Snapture as a jailbroke app a free upgrade to the App Store version of the app. Below is the letter from the CEO with specifics of how and when you can receive the upgrade.

Thanks to Kevin for the tip!

Dear Snapture Jailbreak Customers,

I’m sure you have been following Snapture’s tremendous success on AppStore so far. We’ve shot up to #12 on the AppStore rankings in under 48hrs, and have gotten overwhelmingly great reviews from some of the biggest tech blogs, including Gizmodo, Wired and CNET. None of this could have been possible without the support of our loyal jailbreak users – so please accept our utmost gratitude.

Despite our great success, some of our most loyal jailbreak customers were left wondering what is going to happen to their Snapture licenses moving forward. We heard you through email, twitter and blogs of how you felt that we had left you in the cold. Let me assure you that we never forgot about you guys. It’s simply taken a couple of extra days to get our systems online for the impending migration which we are now prepared to rollout.

What are our plans?
Clear and simple, we’re offering every Snapture jailbreak customer a Free upgrade to the new Snapture on AppStore.

How are we going to do this?
The process is straightforward, but it does require a bit of work on your side.

Steps to obtain Free upgrade to Snapture AppStore:

This free upgrade will be offered for 1 week only – we plan to have a refund marathon session once we receive everyone’s requests. Again, please be very patient with us as it is an extremely tedious and manual process dealing with Paypal and Google Checkout.

Thanks again for your constant support. We look forward to continue serving you in AppStore.

Regards,
Bowei Gai

Yesterday, Doug wrote about the Facebook 3.0 update and all the cool new features that it is going to have. Well, it seems the developer is still hard at work and if those new features weren’t enough, he has also integrated video upload ability into the 3.0 update. I have a feeling he has made a lot of iPhone 3GS users happy with the new feature. He also said, “Nothing like a few bazillion emails, tweets, and blog comments to motivate you to sneak in a few extra features at the last minute.” We don’t know what the “few extra features” are but, so far, he is off to a great start! Keep up the good work!

Now that firmware 3.0 is finally available, did you upgrade?

As for the rest of us who are not on firmware 3.0 yet, they will probably have it jailbroke before we even get it on June 17th. However, even if they do have it jailbroke by the release date, there is rumor that many of the jailbreak apps will not work on firmware 3.0. Doug says apps like WinterBoard, WeatherIcon, LiveClock, Cycorder do not work on firmware 3.0 b5. So, on June 17th, you might want to hold off on upgrading until we can figure out how everything works. We will keep you up-to-date.

“Yes, 3.0 GM is released to developers. This is the final 3.0 release. There is no jailbreak for it at this time. Do not yet upgrade. There are rumors of people using the 3.0 b5 jailbreak tools. This is a terrible idea. It will replace most your 3.0GM with B5 components. You will not have a real 3.0 final any longer, instead you will have a hybrid 3.0 and beta 5. It’s a terrible idea. Next week when beta 5 expires, your 3.0 jailbreak could expire as well and you would have to restore all over again.Yes, some people may claim that they did this and “it works fine”. But as I just stated, it is not a real 3.0 final any longer. Definitely not a good idea nor is this something you want.

Just wait a few days and you should be ok.”
