Video: How to Transfer Your iPad 1 Data to iPad
2
Cnet Crave's Eric Franklin has posted a video tutorial for users who
just replaced their not-even-a-year-old
iPad with a brand new iPad 2 and
are in a quandary as to how transfer all their apps, music, movies, and
settings from that "archaic" piece of technology - which was never good
enough for you, anyway - to your new honey, who's going to love you
forever.

Which iPad 2 to Buy?
Cult of Mac's Buster Heine says:
"We've been getting a lot of questions from readers and friends over
which iPad 2 you should buy. Should you go with WiFi only, or the 3G
version for when you're not around a hotspot? How much storage do you
need? And most importantly, how do you choose between black or
white?
"The answer is that you should get the 16 GB WiFi-only model in
black. Here's why...."
Editor's Note: I agree with most of Buster's reasoning. Unless you
really need the greater storage capacity and/or plan to use your iPad a
lot on the road, go with the base WiFi version. I'm personally partial
to white devices, but Buster makes a well-argued case for black.
AnandTech (see below) counters that rather than
being overwhelming or busy, the white bezel actually has one notable
advantage over black - it doesn't show fingerprints or dust. A constant
aggravation with the previous, black-only generation is that it always
looked dirty, and in this context, white seems to make sense. The main
takeaway here is that in 11 months or so you'll be wanting to replace
your iPad 2 with an iPad 3. cm

AnandTech's in Depth iPad 2
Preview
AnandTech's Anand Lal Shimpi, Brian Klug, and Vivek Gowri have
posted a preview commentary on the iPad 2. I expect we'll eventually
see one of their ten-ton tech reviews of the iPad 2. (That comment
isn't meant to be disparaging. I love reading AnandTech's technically
detailed reviews, but be prepared to spend some time on them - even on
this five-ton preview).
The previewers note that iPad 2 is a very logical update to the
original iPad, with revised industrial design, a slimmer chassis, and
Apple's new A5 SoC inside. A5 brings along two Cortex A9 cores, a
dual-core version of PowerVR's SGX543 graphics chip, and 512 MB of
memory, slightly lighter but easier to hold than the previous
generation, and says that laying in bed and reading is probably where
the difference becomes most apparent.
They note that overall, the new design really works - the iPad 2
feels good in hand and instantly makes its predecessor feel a little
clunky, but there's a lot under the hood of the iPad 2 that demands
attention.

iPad 2: To Buy or Not to Buy
The Mac Observer's Vern Seward says:
"Many of my friends have asked me if I have bought, or intend to buy
an iPad 2, and whether I think they should get one. I've read about as
much as a body can about Apple's new baby, but to render any reasonable
opinion, I had to get up close and personal with one.
"So, on Friday, March 11, I stopped in a local Best Buy, after the
small line of new Apple product waiters dissipated, to see and handle
Apple's new magical device."
He concludes:
"....while the new iPad induces Pavlovian drool at the mere mention
of its name, and the heat coming from my wallet sets off the sprinklers
whenever I get within 200 feet of an Apple Store, I will not be buying
an iPad 2."
"If you don't already own an iPad then the answer is easy. - Yes!
What are you waiting for? Grab the checkbook, dust off the credit card,
break the piggy bank and get one."

How to Use Home Sharing with Your iPad, iPhone, or
iPod touch
Cnet Crave's Sharon Vaknin notes that before iOS 4.3, Home Sharing
was only for PCs, but now you can share any computer's iTunes library
with your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch over your WiFi network. This
allows you to access more music, movies, or podcasts from multiple
computers without burdening your device's storage.
Once you set up your Home Sharing account on your computers and
devices, sharing is easy. Ms. Vaknin explains how to do it....
Publisher's note: As we've covered in this week's 'Book Review, the Early
2011 MacBook Pros are having some issues with Home Sharing.

iFixit's iPad 2 Teardown
iFixit's Director of Technical Communication Miroslav Djuric
says:
We got our hands on Apple's newest tablet, the iPad 2, on March 11,
2011, and we just got a chance to peek at the innards. Here's what the
inside of the iPad 2 looks like:
Apple
summarized the changes in 6 short phrases. "Thinner. Lighter. Faster.
FaceTime. Smart Covers. 10-hour battery."
Prior to starting the teardown, we guessed that the glass front
panel was no longer held in place by tabs. We were correct. The new
tapered edge on the iPad 2 prevents any kind of tabs from being used;
instead, Apple engineers used generous helpings of adhesive to keep the
front glass in place. Consequently, the front panel is very difficult
to remove - it's nearly impossible to open the iPad 2 without
shattering the glass. We'll be working hard in the forthcoming weeks to
provide a solution to this problem, but for now: please don't open your
iPad 2.
The iPad 2 received a 4 out of 10 repairability score, mainly for
the extreme difficulty of accessing anything inside. But if you do
manage to get in, you'll find that all screws are of the Phillips
variety, and the LCD can be easily taken out once you separate it from
the front panel glass (but separating it from the glass is difficult,
of course).
Teardown video for your enjoyment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tjwy7jkNfEE
Highlights:
- We did a quick glass and LCD thickness comparison:
- iPad 1: LCD = 3.2 mm, glass = .85 mm
- iPad 2: LCD = 2.4 mm, glass = .62 mm
- The thickness of these components - especially that of the glass -
could drastically reduce the durability of the device, especially the
glass' resistance to shattering. We'll see in due time if the
percentage of folks with broken iPad 2 front glass is dramatically
different than that of the original iPad.
- Lifting off the LCD exposes the iPad 2's battery. We found a 3.8V,
25 watt-hour unit. That's just a hair more than the original iPad's
24.8 watt-hours, so any improved battery performance should be
attributed to software and other hardware improvements.
Notable
chips found on the logic board (left to right):
- (Blue) Texas Instruments CD3240B0 11AZ4JT G1 touchscreen line
driver, working with the Broadcom BCM5973 and BCM5974 chips shown
above.
- (Yellow) Apple 343S0542 - this looks like the Dialog Semi power
management chip found in last year's iPad - all of those inductors and
capacitors surrounding it are a clue.
- (Green) S6T2MLC N33C50V Power Management IC
- (Red) Apple 1 GHz A5 dual-core Processor with a 200 MHz bus and 512
MB of RAM.
- (Orange) Toshiba TH58NVG7D2FLA89 16 GB NAND Flash
- The A5 processor has manufacture dates of late January and
mid-February 2011. Production was clearly ramping up through the last
minute. It looks like the A5 processor is the APL0498, replacing the
A4/APL0398 seen in the iPad 1 and iPhones.
- Apple-branded 338S0940 A0BZ1101 SGP. This looks like the Cirrus
audio codec Chipworks found in the Verizon iPhone, but they'll have to
get it off the board to make sure
We
confirmed via software that the iPad 2 indeed has 512 MB of RAM.
- The markings on the 1 GHz Apple A5 dual-core processor appear to be
Samsung's, but Chipworks will investigate in the forthcoming days to
find out for sure.
Other components that power the iPad 2:
- Toshiba TH58NVG7D2FLA89 16 GB NAND Flash
- Broadcom BCM5973KFBGH Microcontroller
- Broadcom BCM5974 CKFBGH capacitative touchscreen controller
- Texas Instruments CD3240B0 11AZ4JT touchscreen line driver
- Broadcom BCM43291HKUBC WiFi/Bluetooth/FM tuner combo chip
- S6T2MLC N33C50V Power Management IC
- ST Micro AGD8 2103 gyroscope
- ST Micro LIS331DLH accelerometer
There's also an Apple-branded 338S0940 A0BZ1101 SGP chip. This looks
like the Cirrus audio codec Chipworks found in the Verizon iPhone, but
they'll have to get it off the board to make sure!
We also found a ton of interesting stuff regarding the magnets in
the iPad 2, but we're still working on that analysis. Look for an
update on Monday for a great explanation of how the whole system
works.

Reflections on Apple's Product Release Cycle
AppStorm's David Appleyard says:
"With this week's release of the iPad 2 (in the USA, at least), I
know that many of you will now be sitting at home feeling ever so
slightly less satisfied with the original iPad sat on your desk. Its a
strange phenomenon. Your iPad is no less amazing today than it was last
week, but it feels that way.
"Very few Apple fans can afford to buy each and every new product
release, and the feeling of being slightly out of date is something
that we've all come to accept as the norm. This isn't exactly a bad
thing. Lets face it - a twelve month old iPad is still a long, long way
ahead of any other competing device on the market.
"But how does Apple's release cycle operate, and is their approach
working?"

Making the iPad Your Only Mobile Computing
Device
PCWorld's Tony Bradley says:
"There are a lot of reasons to rely on the Apple iPad as your sole,
or primary mobile computing device. It is smaller, lighter, has longer
battery life, and offers a more functional user interface than a
notebook for staying productive on the go. iOS is a mobile OS, while
Windows and Mac OS X are desktop operating systems - you do the
math.
"Still, out of the box the iPad is primarily geared for Web surfing,
watching movies, playing music, and reading eBooks. It takes a little
tweaking to get the right tools in place to optimize the iPad for use
as a mobile computing platform for business, and not just for
entertainment."

iMovie Works on Original iPad
9 to 5 Mac's Mark Gurman says:
"Even though the original iPad is able to run the latest version of
iMovie for iOS, Apple has decided to not allow original iPad users to
install iMovie directly through the App Store. This decision has to do
with the original iPad's lack of cameras, slower processor, and less
RAM.
"Original iPad users who want to run iMovie on their original iPad
shouldn't fear, as iMovie can work on their iPads without a
jailbreak."

complaining about a significant decrease in the battery life after
updating to iOS 4.3, noting that one of the new features of iOS 4.3
that was not advertised (and this might be the reason), is Ping,
Apple's music social network. Apparently, Ping connects by itself
regularly, whether the user is registered on Ping or not.

Which Accessories Work with the iPad 2?
Macworld's Dan Frakes reports now that the iPad 2 is in the wild and
available for purchase, those still contemplating the purchase are
likely wondering if upgrading will render their existing accessories -
for iPad, iPhone, or even iPod - obsolete, so that after spending $500,
$600, $700, or more for a new iPad, they'll be obliged to pony up even
more for new add-ons?

Is the Internet About to Unravel?
The Economist says that the Internet has been a great unifier of
people, companies, and online networks, but powerful forces are
threatening to balkanize it, with
governments increasingly reasserting their sovereignty; big IT
companies building their own digital territories, where they set the
rules and control or limit connections to other parts of the Internet;
and network owners that want to treat different types of traffic
differently, in effect creating faster and slower lanes on the
Internet, all creating a danger that the Internet may splinter and
fragment along geographical and commercial boundaries.
The article notes that Apple is "a world apart," since from the
iPhone and iPad users mostly get access to online services not through
a conventional Web browser but via specialized applications available
only from the company's App Store.

With Android smartphone sales surging, it's easy to think that
Android-based devices will be the foil to the Apple iPad in the tablet
market. But that's not what we see: Miscalculations in pricing and
distribution spell trouble for Android tablets, especially the Motorola
Xoom. HP and RIM show promise but have their own challenges, leaving
the tablet market ripe for disruption. In this report, we evaluate the
product strategies of tablets coming in 2011 and place our bets on
which companies will succeed and which will fail.

Tablet Wars: Apple iPad vs. the Competition
PR: Since its initial release, the Apple iPad has been the de
facto standard by which competing tablets are measured. But with the
release of the iPad 2 just around the corner, can new tablets from
Motorola, Research in Motion and a host of others successfully launch
and compete?
During
February, ChangeWave surveyed 3,091 consumers on tablet demand and
future buying trends including customer satisfaction, tablet
cannibalization of other electronic devices, and consumer preference
for wireless tablet services. The survey was completed just before
Apple's iPad 2 announcement.
Tablet Demand Going Forward
Future tablet demand remains extraordinarily high among consumers
with better than one-in-four respondents (27%) saying they plan on
buying a tablet device in the future. That's two points higher than in
a previous ChangeWave survey in November.
Focusing on just the next 90 days, 5% of respondents say
they'll be purchasing a tablet within this time frame.
Once again Apple remains the overwhelming winner among planned
buyers, with 82% of future tablet buyers saying they'll be purchasing
an iPad.
Neither the Motorola Xoom (4%) which hadn't been released yet at the
time of the survey - nor the soon-to-be-released RIM/BlackBerry
PlayBook (3%) have so far had a significant impact on iPad demand.
Similarly, the Samsung Galaxy Tab (3%) has done little to date to
slow the iPad's momentum.
It remains to be seen which of these tablet devices or other new
entries in the market will be able to successfully compete. Each faces
an uphill battle with the refreshed iPad 2 hitting the shelves today.
The survey results provide further insight into what they're up
against.
Importantly, the iPad's satisfaction rating remains outstanding
among owners with 70% saying they're Very Satisfied and 25% Somewhat
Satisfied with the Apple tablet device.
Note: 2% of iPad owners selected Don't Know/NA
Tablet Cannibalization
To better understand the threat tablets pose to other electronic
devices, we asked current Tablet owners whether there were any other
products that they had originally planned on buying but had put on hold
or canceled in order to purchase a tablet.
Looking at the following list of products, are there any that you
had previously planned on buying but have put on hold or canceled
because you purchased a new tablet device? (Check All That Apply)
Deferred purchases.
According to the survey findings, the two product lines most
vulnerable to the tablet onslaught are eReaders and Laptops.
A total of 17% of tablet owners say they've put off buying an Amazon
Kindle because they purchased a tablet. Another 9% have put off buying
some other eReading device.
The second most affected category is Laptops (11%), followed by
Netbooks (10%).
Wireless Services and the iPad
Now that Verizon and AT&T are both offering wireless services
for the iPad, where do future buyers plan to purchase the Apple tablet
and which service will they be using?
In a major finding, 17% of planned buyers say they'll
purchase their iPad and get their wireless service directly from
Verizon 2-pts higher than in our November survey. That's a significant
achievement, considering Verizon has only been selling the iPad for 4
months. Moreover, beginning March 11th Verizon is offering the iPad 2
with a built-in 3G wireless chip, so new subscribers will no longer
need to carry a MiFi mobile hotspot device.
In comparison, 24% of planned iPad purchasers say they'll be using
AT&T as their wireless service provider. This includes 16% who will
buy their iPad directly from Apple, 4% from Best Buy/ Wal-Mart/Target,
and just 4% who will be buying it directly from AT&T.
All told, these findings represent a three-point decline for
AT&T since our November survey.
The complete ChangeWave report is available.

Executives Believe iPad Increases
Productivity
PR: Harvey Nash, the global professional recruitment and IT
outsourcing group, has released executive research showing that the
iPad is not just technology hype. Statistics confirm that tablet PCs
can have a significant impact on how executives do business, which is
timely as Apple rolls out its second generation iPad to consumers this
week.
In a survey conducted among 134 subscribers to Harvey Nash's Online
Appointments Magazine:
- More than two-thirds of respondents reported currently owning or
planning to buy a tablet device within 12 months;
- Of tablet users, 91% said they believe the tablet increased their
productivity, and
- 75% were "surprised" by how useful the device was.
The survey also reveals that tablet devices fulfill a function in
business life somewhere between laptops, smart phones and old-fashioned
paper. Almost two-thirds (63%) of executives said they used their
tablet device as a presentation tool in a meeting; 59% reported
browsing a digital magazine and more than half (51%) took meeting notes
on their device.
Almost all participants (97%) believe that the tablet will become
even more useful in the future. The iPad is at this time the most
popular tablet (85% of tablet users owned one). New entrants to the
tablet market over the next year are likely to reduce this
prominence.
Harvey Nash was the first recruitment company to launch an iPad App
in April of 2010 and will be rolling out iPad 2s to its senior
management team in 12 countries.
Harvey Nash CEO Albert Ellis says, "As our world becomes
increasingly digital, Harvey Nash is leading the recruitment industry
by giving staff, clients and candidates the digital tools to succeed.
Our investment in iPads for our team, and the development of
applications for tablet devices is a major part of this strategy."
The survey was conducted of 134 director / CxO level subscribers to
Harvey Nash's Online Appointments Magazine during late February/early
March 2011.

Reports Executives Believe iPad Increases Business Productivity
Nearly 18 Million Media Tablets Shipped in 2010,
Apple Captures 83% Share
PR: According to the International Data Corporation (IDC)
Worldwide Quarterly Media Tablet and eReader Tracker, 10.1 million
media tablets were shipped in the fourth quarter of 2010 (4Q10) - more
than double the 4.5 million shipped in the third quarter. Apple's share
came down from 93% in 3Q10 to 73% in 4Q10, but still reflected Apple's
strong leadership position. Samsung's Galaxy Tab was the primary
competitor in the holiday season, beating other players to market and
capturing more than 17% share, while a number of smaller regional
players also participated.
The Tracker showed that the eReader market also picked up
significantly in the fourth quarter. Strong sales of Amazon's Kindle,
which was refreshed in August and priced more aggressively, as well as
significant gains from competitors such as Pandigital, Barnes &
Noble, Hanvon, and Sony among others, contributed to market growth.
In 4Q10, the eReader market more than doubled volume from the
previous quarter, with more than 6 million units shipped for the
quarter, bringing the full-year total to 12.8 million units shipped.
eReader shipments were also up more than 325% from 2009 when roughly 3
million units shipped. The strong growth reflects a more competitive
offering as well as widening interest in the category, including a
boost from media tablet press and much lower pricing.
"Strong holiday sales of media tablets were in line with IDC
projections and strong consumer interest in the category while device
vendors scrambled to offer products competitive with Apple's iPad and
now iPad 2," says Loren Loverde, vice president, Consumer Device
Trackers. "Media Tablets are on pace to reach shipments of roughly 50
million units in 2011."
Definitions
According to IDC, media tablets are tablet form factor devices with
color displays larger than 5" and smaller than 14" running lightweight
operating systems (such as Apple's iOS and Google's Android OS) and can
be based on either x86 or ARM processors. By contrast, Tablet PCs run
full PC operating systems and are based on x86 processors. Media
tablets support multiple connectivity technologies and a broad range of
applications, which differentiates them from single purpose-focused
devices such as eReaders. Media tablet market evolution will be driven
not only by product introductions from PC, consumer electronics, and
mobile phone vendors, but also by expanded distribution channels (with
mobile operators playing a key role) and commercial adoption by
businesses.
According to IDC, the United States, Western Europe and Asia/Pacific
(excluding Japan) regions accounted for 89% of all media tablet
shipments in 4Q10. Although the United States remained the largest
country market, Western Europe and Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) grew
almost twice as fast from 3Q10 to 4Q10 and Western Europe saw a
slightly larger jump in shipments in 4Q10.
In 4Q10, retailers were the channel with the highest share of
shipments, followed by direct and telco sales. A new channel for media
tablets, the telco operators, accounted for nearly 14% of all shipments
of media tablets in 4Q10 following just over 1% share in the third
quarter.
Vendor Highlights: Media Tablets
Apple is building on its strong 2010 first-generation iPad launch
with the iPad 2, before most competitors come to market with first
generation media tablets. Although more competing devices will be
launched this year, IDC expects Apple to maintain a 70-80% share of the
market.
Samsung started shipping its 7 in. Galaxy Tab media tablet in 4Q10.
Although its shipments into the channel were fairly aggressive, a lack
of competitive pricing and ongoing competition from Apple stifled
consumer demand. Samsung is expected to follow with a 10.1 in. Galaxy
Tab with Android 3.0 Honeycomb later this year, but the refresh will
have a tough time maintaining share as more competitors enter the
market.
The recently launched Motorola Xoom is a worthy competitor in
function, although the relatively high price is expected to be a
barrier to gaining significant share.
Other vendors and designs are expected to hit the market in earnest
in the second half of 2011. Many of these products will be more
competitive in function, like the Xoom, but we expect only those from
large vendors with significant marketing and channel structure in
addition to a few technologically and price competitive devices to
capture significant share. One differentiation path that some vendors
are likely to take is to focus on specific market segments, such as
commercial. While benefiting from unique product positioning, they are
likely to address a smaller overall market and will need to be
competitive with devices from Apple and others.
Vendor Highlights: eReaders
Amazon continued to lead the eReader market holding just over 48%
share in 4Q10 and 2010 overall. Amazon's share recovered in 4Q10 with
shipments of the refreshed Kindle (3) after dipping under 40% in
3Q10.
Barnes and Noble began shipping the NOOKcolor color LCD-based
ereader in 4Q10 to support children's books, periodicals, and other
graphically rich content. The NOOKcolor is more expensive than
epaper-based ereaders and offers a lower priced, less feature-rich
alternative to a full-fledged media tablet.
Pandigital edged out Barnes and Noble for the number 2 spot in 4Q10,
although the latter came in slightly ahead on an annual basis.
Hanvon of China came in as the number 4 eReader vendor with a
sequential gain in volume. Half of Hanvon shipments were in China,
where it leads the market, but where eReader growth remained modest.
International shipments faced greater competition, pushing share down
overall.
Worldwide Sony Reader shipments grew 80.7% during 4Q10 and exceeded
800,000 units for 2010.
The Worldwide Quarterly Media Tablet and eReader Tracker includes
quarterly shipment and forecast analysis for over 30 countries
including market size and vendor share along with detailed market
segmentation and product attributes such as operating system,
connectivity, and storage capacity among others.

Netbook or Notebook Will Not Ship
PR: Canalys announces the release of its latest worldwide PC
market forecast, estimating year-on-year growth of 14% for 2011. The
analyst firm predicts that much of this growth will come from pad
shipments, which will increase to 52 million units worldwide in 2011.
Of these shipments, Apple is expected to account for over 75%, leaving
approximately 12 million units for other vendors.
Canalys anticipates that the iPad's success will continue, and even
accelerate, with the arrival of the thinner, lighter and faster iPad 2.
This growth means, however, that traditional PC companies, notably
Microsoft, Intel and AMD, are likely to lose market share during the
year.
"Pads are disrupting the PC refresh cycle in highly penetrated
markets," says Canalys Analyst Tim Coulling. "Their innovative user
experience has captured the imagination of consumers, who are extending
the life of their existing hardware, while taking an interest in
pads."
Canalys also urges vendors not to dismiss the opportunity for pads
in business: The number of affluent, highly-mobile executives buying
pads will increase quickly in 2011, said Principal Analyst Daryl Chiam.
Likewise, vertical market adoption of pads, especially in healthcare
and education, will gain momentum, as more appropriate applications are
built.
Notebook and Netbook Sales Will Suffer
For every 10 pads sold this year, Canalys estimates that five
netbook or notebook sales will be lost, across both consumer and
enterprise markets. This trend will be most pronounced in developed
markets, such as the United States, Canada, France, Germany, the UK,
the Nordics, Benelux, Australia, and Japan.
Canalys expects the notebook PC category to grow nearly 8% in
2011, despite the impact of pads, thanks to the ongoing Windows 7
refresh and improving business confidence in the commercial sector.
Netbooks, however, will decline by about 13% to 34 million units.
Overstocked retail channels in many countries, including the United
States, much of Western Europe, China and Indonesia, will further
hinder notebook growth in the first part of the year. Even Russia,
where high oil prices have led to a PC boom, has become
oversupplied.
Political revolutions and protests in the Middle East and North
Africa have brought the markets there to a virtual stop, and it is
difficult to predict how long this disruption will last. There is a
risk that political turbulence will spread even further afield. In
addition, the recent events in Japan will mean some short-term
disruptions to the supply chain, but it will take weeks to fully assess
the damage and consequences. Canalys expects that there will likely be
a small noticeable impact to global PC shipments.
"The netbook and notebook industry is lucky that Apple's
geographical reach remains limited, so that its impact in BRIC*
countries and some other larger markets, such as Indonesia and Turkey,
remains small," says Chiam. "In many of these countries, the iPad 2
will be delayed by the need for regulatory approval, and sales may also
be restricted by the lack of localized iTunes stores."
"The rise of the pad is phenomenal," Chiam observes. "We anticipate
the arrival of many more innovative devices in the mobile PC category
over the next couple of years."

Express 2.0 software for iOS devices. Available as a free download on
the Apple iTunes Store, Photoshop Express 2.0 introduces a new Adobe
Camera Pack for in-app purchase. This Camera Pack includes the

small amounts of grain and speckling - called noise - into images. The
Reduce Noise feature quickly smooths out those flaws to improve
photos.
- Self Timer: Set a camera timer to three or 10-second
intervals to control when the photo is snapped and capture just the
desired moment.
- Auto Review: Ensure a good shot and delete it quickly if
not. Auto Review provides a quick look at pictures before the action
passes by.
The Adobe Camera Pack enhances the new camera workflow that debuted
in Photoshop Express 1.5 for iOS and enabled customers to continuously
and rapidly shoot photos directly in the app.
"Photoshop Express 2.0 and the new Adobe Camera Pack solve a problem
for anyone who cares about the quality of their images," says Jordan
Davis, senior product manager for mobile imaging at Adobe. "Our new
Reduce Noise feature fixes the graininess that often impacts photos,
even those taken with high-quality phone cameras. It's fast, accurate
and puts professional Adobe Photoshop quality in the palm of your
hand."

free download from the iTunes store. The Adobe Camera Pack is available

LED Machines 3.3 for iPhone 4
PR:
Dimitrios Zampelis, founder of AriadneWare announces the release update
of LED Machines - a kinetic multipurpose app that features a
flashlight, Clock, Advanced Alarm, as well as a number of purely
recreational functionalities all utilizing the iPhone 4's unique LED
light. Highlighting the most recent update of this app are a redesigned
interface, as well as an expanded list of clock and alarm functions.
LED Machines version 3.3 is currently available on the Apple App Store
$1.99.
Wanting to
create a 'flashlight' app that transcended it's moniker to provide
users with a complex array of functions, Dimitrios designed LED
Machines to work as anything from an advanced Alarm Clock to a Morse
Coder in addition to its base use as a mobile flashlight. The app
includes two differently designed analog clock options - Classic or
Tech. Meanwhile, LED Machine's Alarm clock utilizes the phone's LED by
either simply turning on or creating a strobe effect when the users
preset alarm sounds - the specific intervals at which the LED will
flash can be set by the user as well. Furthermore, for sleepy users a
handy 'clap-snooze' feature allows them to snooze their alarm clock by
simply clapping their hands when it sounds.
Keeping this
in mind, LED Machine's other features spread across a much broader
spectrum of possible uses. For instance, the app's interface is able to
accurately illustrate weather conditions present at the users location
in real-time with remarkably dynamic and realistic animations. For
those that get lost easily the app includes a visual LED based compass
to direct them in the right direction, while a Morse Coder allows users
to write and transmit messages via their blinking LED light using real
Morse Code. Simply put, there are run-of-the-mill flashlight apps, and
then there's LED Machines. With the power to utilize user's iPhone 4
LED lights to their full multifaceted potential, LED Machines is primed
to become a staple app among tech savvy App Store shoppers for some
time to come.

Bento 1.1 for iPhone and Bento 1.1 for iPad
