App Store Description:

ReelMoments lets you take time-lapse video directly with either iPhone 3G or 3GS. Capture the moments of your life and create VIDEO clips on the fly!

Video is not a privilege of iPhone 3GS users any more!

Ever wonder how filmmakers capture the blooming of flowers? Clouds fleeting over the sky? Or people flooding the subway station and exiting it in rapid motions? Now you can create videos just like that using your iPhone camera!

Simply:
✔ Set timer and interval.
✔ Optionally ZOOM in on the subject.
✔ Tap Start and shoot your own time-lapse films!
✔ Share your videos by email or save them to Camera Roll.
✔ Battery level is monitored and displayed; recording will be stopped and video saved when battery is low.

What is time-lapse?

Time-lapse is a professional technique to capture photos at a slow interval and play them back as normal speed video. The otherwise slow changing moments are condensed into a dramatic scene, which often contains fantastic visual feasts revealing unusual events otherwise slipping by unnoticed.

Tips:
- To save battery usage, reduce the brightness setting during shooting.
- An iPhone stand, holder or mount is always helpful.

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.

While we wait for version 3.0 of the Facebook application to be approved by Apple, the developer has been kind enough to give us a few preview/demo videos. Below are three videos from the developer that show specific features of the app and a nice overview video of the app (not from the developer).

qTweeter, a Twitter application, has been updated to version 2.0. The update adds a new feature – video. The really cool part is that you can send a video tweet not only from an iPhone 3GS but also an iPhone 3G and a first gen iPhone (on the 3.0 firmware)! Very cool.

If you are on a first gen iPhone or an iPhone 3G, you will need to install Cycorder via Cydia. qTweeter uses Cycorder to record the video you will tweet (and then uses TwitVid to post the video to Twitter and Facebook… you do not have to have TwitVid installed on your iPhone for it to work). The video is posted just like any other TwitVid video in both Twitter and Facebook. I also like that qTweeter allows you to upload a previously taken video.

It worked great for me on an iPhone 3G running 3.0 however, Doug had to uninstall it from his iPhone 3GS because it put it into continuous Safe Mode.

I personally have always thought this was a cool Twitter application. For a full review of the app please see previous posts about qTweeter. You can get qTweeter via the Ste Packaging source.

Here’s a nice, addicting game for only $0.99. It has a clean design and nice sound effects. Check out the video below and click the iTunes link to buy in the App Store.

Ok, so it’s actually not Friday night, it’s Saturday morning. Maybe we could call this Saturday morning cartoons! Well, we’re on vacation right now and didn’t get to Friday Night Movie Night last night. Now that we have a nice 3G connection we can post some videos. This was one of the top viewed iPhone videos on YouTube in the last week. It’s an app for ordering pizza from Pizza Hut. Looks pretty nice!

TwitVid recently updated their website/app adding the ability to upload your videos to Facebook, MySpace and YouTube. To turn the features on, you you will need to go to their website, login and choose where you would like the videos to upload.

The next time you post a video to Twitter using TwitVid, it will also add the video to the other places you have chosen. You do not have the choice to post one video to just Twitter and another to both Twitter and Facebook. Once you turn on the Facebook (or YouTube or MySpace) option on the website, it will automatically upload all the videos you post on Twitter to the other places. In order to not upload a video to a certain place, you would have to go back onto the website and remove that option.

Things to note:
- When a video is uploaded to Facebook it adds the video to your “wall” however, it does not add it to the actual Video app in Facebook.

- When a video is uploaded to YouTube it is uploaded directly into your YouTube account.

- When a video is uploaded to MySpce – WHAT! Who uses MySpace!!

If you’re like me, you use the iPhone’s Mail app all the time. But if you use Gmail you should take a look at gmail.com using Safari. There’s been a lot of updates recently and Google is using HTML5 which makes the app really sweet. The video below shows you some of the features and how they look while in use.
