Vijay For Victory

Opera Mini browser was submitted on Apple iTunes store in March last week. There were so many debates going on in blogosphere, about the approval process by Apple. As it is a direct competition to Safari, many predicted that this won’t be approved by Apple.

Despite of all these arguments, Opera Mini Browser is now made available to public in Apple Store. This app has been approved by Apple on 13 Apr 2010, after 20 days.

It’s slick interface really gives a better performance.  Here are few screenshots from Opera Mini Browser.

Opera Mini Browser video demo would explain more about the features and performance. Opera Mini had definitely created really a tough competition to Apple Safari.

I have just installed the app and the first experience is good. Still a lot more to explore.

Editing the photos in iPhone is no more a tough task to do. Adobe Systems released its official iPhone app Photoshop.com Mobile in October. This was initially released, in October, only for US and Canada users. It is now made available for all global users.

Photoshop.com Mobile is a free iPhone app that offers some cool basic photo editing features.

According to iTunes Store, top edit features available in this app are as follows

Basics : Crop, Rotate and Flip

Colour : Exposure, Saturation, Tint, Black and White

Filters : Sketch, Soft Focus

Effects : Vibrant, Pop, Border, Vignette Blur, Warm Vintage, Rainbow, White Glow, Soft Black and White

It is really great to have all these features bundled into a single free app. We hope that there will be more features added to the list.

I have used a couple of apps to edit the pictures I take through iPhone. Now this single free app replaces all other apps.

The best part I like in this app is that all these effects are made available based on the swipe. There are no buttons, dials and select boxes. All we need to to is just a swipe from left to right in the screen.

In the short span of time, this app holds the first place in Free Photography app category.

You can download this free app from Apple iTunes Store – Photoshop.com Mobile

The car chase scene in the James Bond movie, Tomorrow Never Dies, is  unforgettable. In this movie, 007 controls a brand new BMW car with a small remote device. Below is the car chase scene clipping.

Today, even you can control the car remotely like 007. Yes, it is not a joke.

iDrive, a new iPhone app by Appirion, made this possible.

The iDriver app converts the iPhone into a the real-life equivalent of a video game controller, capable of directing the progress of a two ton minivan.

The app has separate buttons for accelerate and brake, along with a steering wheel that exploits the iPhone’s motion-sensitive capabilities.

This iPhone app is yet to be released to commercial market.

Checkout the below video captured during the test drive.
