I'm not sure exactly what situation would cause me to pull this app out, but I love the technology at my fingertips. Just snap a photo of a page with text on it and ABBYY Text Grabber will convert it to editable text. My tests so far show it to be a great little OCR app. See an example above.

A new feature was added to the Camera+ iPhone app today - captions. To access captions, add a border to any photo and tap on "caption." Camera plus styles each caption based on the border and you have no control over the font or placement. Each border also has different character counts allowed. Here are a few samples.

I'm sure this will improve quickly, but my anecdotal comparison of Google+ checkin accuracy to Foursquare checkin accuracy has G+ coming up way short most of the time. The images here were grabbed while I was sitting inside of the Starbucks on Edinger in Huntington Beach. This has been my typical experience.

I've missed updates to apps I've deleted that made them apps I would not have deleted. The iCloud update to the iPhone app store will help me easily install and retest. I like that.

I'm continually surprised by the quality of image manipulation being generated on the iPhone. AutoPainter now joins a growing list of tools I will use when I'm interested in a creating a different emotional response from a photo.

You have four pre-set styles to choose from, Aquarell, Benson, Cezanne and Van Gogh. The Cezanne and Van Gogh styles will not be great for a lot of scenes, but there will be shots that will look amazing. I love the Aquarell style. It works well on both landscapes and people. Worth a play and fun to watch the scenes develop. Also of note, running the process a second time on the same photo produces a slightly different result.

I've been meaning to check this for a long time, and finally got around to it. The numbers that Posterous displays for views of their posts have always seemed too high to me. I had installed Google Analytics on the site a long time ago, but I've never really checked them. I was looking at another of my sites today and decided to take a look. I used a post that was a over a year old for the comparison. Google shows the number of views as 654. Posterous shows the same post has been viewed 4013 times. 

Either one of them is wrong, or their not measuring the same thing. That said, there is nothing being measured by Google for that post that even comes close to 4013. What's up, Posterous?

Adobe unleashed a major update to their Photoshop Express iPhone app today. "Noise Reduction" is an in app upgrade filter. I have not even looked at these side by side on the computer yet, but the noise reduction looks pretty good on the iPhone. You be the judge.

The first photo is the original. The second has the nois reduction applied. To compare, hover over one of the images and then click on the full screen icon in the lower right hand corner. You will then be able to toggle back and forth.

PictureShow moved to version 3.0 today, gaining three new frames, three new noise filters, in app cropping, tilt shit (don't like their implementation) and limited "HDR" capability (use Pro HDR instead), and the ability to save your favorite "recipes."

They took away the ability to select a lens filter directly, which I miss, but the ability to save custom combos makes up for the loss. Love this app.

@topbrokeroc, @ardelld and @grmeyer, here are two lame samples from my two newest iPhone camera favorites. You know I have a thing for analog. :) The first is LomoLomo and the second is Lomora 2.

Except for the fact that Loren Nason was one of my only options to test this out with, I have no complaints. :) The Skype for iPhone update released today works as advertised.
