Photoshop launches an iPhone app

Adobe just released a free iPhone version of its popular Photoshop application, allowing you to do lightweight photo editing on your phone. Venture Beat gives a review.

Like the free website Photoshop.com, Photoshop.com Mobile is meant for casual users, not the artists who do heavy-duty image manipulation on the desktop version of Photoshop. There’s a simple interface for doing things like cropping the photo, making it black-and-white, and adding effects like soft focus and a “sketch” mode that makes your photo look more like a drawing.

There are plenty of other photo manipulation apps for the iPhone, but Adobe has the advantage of the well-known Photoshop brand. Users can also upload and store photos at Photoshop.com, so the iPhone app should help promote the website, and vice versa.

Apple restricting use of augmented reality applications on iPhone

Augmented reality is rapidly becoming the new buzzword of the software industry. The concept is to overlay information on a real-world image using, or instance, the camera on the iPhone 3GS. PocketGamer reports.

The augmented reality system makes heavy use of a combination of other features too, such as GPS tracking, the Internet and - perhaps most importantly of all - the new digital compass built into the iPhone hardware upgrade.

Developers are eager to start putting this concept to use but Apple apparently isn't quite so keen. According to LA Times, the iPhone manufacturer has told one developer it won't be approving any augmented reality applications until version 3.1 on iPhone software has been released.

Here's a video demonstrating the sort of applications augmented reality could be put to.

LiveStation's demo of live TV on your iPhone

Matteo Berlucci, chief executive of LiveStation, demonstrated for The Guardian the new live TV streaming app developed for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Amazon launches iPhone app

It's becoming a full time job to keep up with all the amazing new iPhone apps. Here's another one worthy of note from Amazon.com

The results will not be instantaneous (between 5 minutes and 24 hours, the company says), but the idea is to entice consumers to buy products from Amazon instead of its offline rivals.

According to ZDNet, "the new iPhone app also features the ability to search, compare prices, read reviews and make purchases. You also have access to your existing cart, wish lists, payment and shipping options, order history, one-click settings, and Amazon Prime benefits."
