Perfect Photo for iPhone is free for this weekend (from now until Sunday afternoon). While it’s usually a rather affordable $0.99, free is even better right?
You can check it out here in the App Store.
Flickr Releases Android App
Flickr has released a new Android app, which is a free download from the Android Market Place. The new app features a built-in camera, upload integration with Flickr, Facebook, Twitter and others, and geotagging. It also offers access to Flickr organizational features and groups (although, I’m seeing limited options for any serious organizational features so far).
You can find it in the Android Market here.
Camera Phones Get 14MP and 1080p HD
While these specs aren’t out of the ordinary for point and shoot cameras, you might raise an eyebrow at a 14MP camera phone that captures 1080p video as well. Well, expect them soon.
Omnivision has developed a 14MP HD sensor to be used in cell phones, as well as a sibling sensor with the same pixel count for use in compact cameras. Given the noisy images produced by much lower MP-count sensors of the same size, you have to be concerned about what kind of grain a 14MP sensor on a mobile phone camera is going to produce. Maybe the backside illumination of the sensors will help ease the noise.
According to Omnivision, the new sensors are capable of producing 1080p video at 60 frames per second. These new sensors go into mass production in the second quarter of 2010.

Read the two press releases below for further details on the INNOV8. [Read more…]
