ESPN Cameraman v1.0.3 | Published by EpicTilt | Via App Store | Free | Released: 11-08-08

Photo Hunter v1.1 | Published by Eric Chen | Via App Store | $0.99 | Released: 11-07-08

Overview

What you’ve got here are two apps that are great fun for any age, at any time. They are essentially the digital age takeoff of the old “What’s Wrong in This Picture?” from the kids magazine Highlights. These magazines always were the most worn, dog-eared periodicals in the doctor’s office. Both of these apps will see their share of wear and tear as well. 

Functionality

Both apps essentially do the same thing. You’re presented with two nearly-identical pictures, and you’re given a time limit to identify the differences in the two pictures. These may be as obvious as someone having no ear to as subtle as the change of color on a wristband.

Both apps challenge you to find five differences between the two pictures. You tap on the part of the picture that’s different, and a highlighted circle appears around your selection if you got it right. Then you’re off to find the rest of the differences. 

Both apps allow you to “cheat” by using a certain number of chances. Cheats will also be used up if you make a mistake by tapping where there’s not a difference in the two images.

Photoboard v1.0 | Published by ZestProd | Via App Store | $0.99 | Released: 9-17-08

Overview

If there is another app out there that can show off the phenomenal capabilities of the iPhone’s touchscreen, I don’t know what it is. I demonstrated Photoboard to a non-iPhone using friend - I have one left… and his response was… “Wow! Now that is cool.” Photoboard is an app that allows you to manipulate and view photos in a creative way.

Functionality

When you start up Photoboard, you’ll see the two screens above. You can immediately start playing with their provided tutorial image. Squeeze it, pinch it, drag it and twist it. It’s pretty nice. There are just two things to know: Continue Reading

Morph123 v1.0.1 | Published by CubeBs Co, Ltd. | Via App Store | $2.99 | Released: 9-18-08

Overview

If you’ve ever wanted to see if you and your dog have any family resemblance, then this is a crazy-fun app. Even better is taking a picture of friends or family, setting the morph points, and then watching this fun app transpose the pictures in real-time motion to give you an idea of what you might could do if you were the shape shifter, Mrs. McGonagall, from Harry Potter.

Functionality

First of all, read the instructions. You’ll spend several minutes in frustration otherwise. I generally jump smack into a program, but with Morph123, I had to admit defeat, backup, and read the manual. After a quick review, you’ll be morphing in no time.

Just a few weeks ago, a brand new iPhone user got a surprise when they loaded up their 3G and found three pictures already loaded in the camera roll. The blurriness and randomness of the photos made the snappings seem accidental, a one-time mistake that wouldn’t be happening again.

Well now a a few new pictures have surfaced, and while not so much a mistake as pre-meditated picture-taking, the MacRumors Forums shows pictures of a factory worker that came with the iPhone’s onboard camera roll.

I can’t imagine this is good exposure for the factory worker or her job security, but the big smile and peace sign have us convinced that she was just trying to export a little extra good-will.
