Promo Dispenser was opened in its beta 2.0 version to the public in July 2009 and it attracted attention on the net immediately among bloggers, iPhone developers and iPhone users as well. Since the launch of the website over 1000 developers took the opportunity to register and promote their apps by giving away more, than 23000 promotional codes in a controlled environment. Over 8000 registered members use the site day by day to download, rate and review those apps on iTunes.

La Jolla, California – PhotoNest The Twitter Photo Viewer was released in November of 2009 to simplify and streamline the way photos are shared on Twitter. Today, MindTapp is introducing PhotoNest Free 2.1, supported by iAds. “We want to get this product in the hands of as many people as possible so that people can see what a cool photo sharing tool Twitter can be” says Shelby Meinzer of MindTapp. The app is scaled down from the premium version but don’t fret, they will still be adding plenty more features in the future!

“We simply wanted to create the best experience for viewing and sharing photos on Twitter” says co-founder Shelby Meinzer. Twitter is an amazing real time text based communication tool that is changing how people communicate and spread information. Another great use for Twitter is to share photos with your friends and followers.

In addition to allowing the user to view the photos that your friends have posted you can also upload photos along with a message. “We wanted create a great way for people to share photos when they are on the go and make that process as simple and as beautiful as possible.” Says co-founder Dan Martin. With cell phones now becoming a very popular way to capture moments, more and more people are looking for ways to share those with friends. MindTapp is dedicated to making PhotoNest the most elegant solution for this.

PhotoNest can be used in many ways by many different people. For example if you have a group of friends for family that want to be able to share what they see, they can create a Twitter account, follow all the people in that group, then sign in on PhotoNest and start sharing. The photo is uploaded to TweetPhoto and the message along with a link to the photo will be posted to that users Twitter profile. The photo will also appear at the top of your photo stream in the view tab in PhotoNest. This is also a great solution for business owners to promote their business or service. For example a restaurant owner could use PhotoNest to snap photos of their daily specials and send out that information to all their Twitter followers. Or a real estate agent could use it to send out photos of their new properties.

MindTapp was founded by Shelby Meinzer and Dan Martin, neither of who are software developers. Dan said, “We want to create a company that looks at apps from the point of view of the end user, we feel that this approach creates a product that people understand and really love to use”. MindTapp worked with Steve Moon and Ryan Moulton at Clever Coding in Springville, UT for the development of PhotoNest. This is the second application that Shelby has worked with Clever Coding on. “It’s a great relationship we have, I can completely focus my time on the design and user experience and then hand that off the the team at Clever Coding and they bring the idea to life.”

ch@tter 1.3 adds Instapaper and New Web Functionality

Sammamish, Washington – Juicy Bits today released a free update to 3D Camera for iPhone, an app that makes it easy to create 3D photos and share them with friends on Facebook and Twitter. 3D Camera earned 4.5 mice (out of 5) from Macworld and is frequently among the top 100 photography apps worldwide.

To create a 3D image, left and right photos are captured using the built-in camera. An enhanced camera overlay includes three different alignment modes and a “ghost” feature to easily align the two images. If the left and right photos have already been taken, they can be selected from the iPhone photo album.

Next, the two images are repositioned to control the apparent depth of the final 3D photo. Moving the right image to the right causes it to recede back into the screen, while moving it to the left causes it to “pop out.” 3D Camera creates color and grey anaglyph images that are viewed using common red/cyan 3D glasses, stereogram images that are viewed without glasses (parallel and cross-eyed), and “wigglegram” images that produce a simulated 3D effect.

The final 3D photo can be saved to the iPhone photo album for later use, sent to a friend via e-mail, or sent to Facebook and Twitter. Many custom settings are available to control the size, quality, and method used to produce the final 3D image. A “More” button provides access to a short, online video tour and additional documentation.

Feature Highlights:
* Enhanced camera that makes it easy to take two side-by-side photos
* Three different camera alignment modes
* Ability to send 3D photos to Facebook, Twitter, and e-mail
* Touch interface to realign and reposition images
* Automatic cropping of re-aligned images
* Grey and color anaglyph creation
* Parallel and cross-eyed stereogram support for photos that don’t require 3D glasses
* Wigglegram mode for a fun, simulated 3D effect
* Integrated instruction screen with “More” button to access an online video tour and additional documentation
* Button to swap the original photos
* App setting to choose the working image size (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%)
* App setting to enable/disable automatic saving of camera photos
* App setting to automatically boost saturation and brightness of Color and Grey anaglyphs
* App setting to control the size of stereogram borders (and to eliminate them)
* App setting to enable/disable stereogram alignment dots
* App setting to limit the maximum Twitter image dimensions (1024, 800, 640)
* App setting to select the color anaglyph method (full color, half color, optimized, and red/blue)
* App setting to bypass the introduction screen
3D Camera 1.3.3 is $1.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photography category.

iPhone fitness application developer Abvio LLC today announced Runmeter 2.0, the most comprehensive running application for the iPhone 3G/3GS. Runmeter turns your phone into a powerful GPS stopwatch, giving runners feedback to run faster and increase endurance. Runmeter 2.0 is the first iPhone application to offer built-in Twitter text-to-speech, so runners can hear Twitter replies from their coaches, friends and family during training.

“Runmeter is very easy to use, and it has more power than any other application and sports watch I’ve tried. I’ve logged over 250 miles using Runmeter,” said George Ayoub, a runner and Runmeter user.

It also is the first iPhone application with the ability to start or stop the application from Apple’s earphone remote, and the first iPhone fitness application to allow direct Google Maps sharing via email or Twitter. Runners can now easily share running routes with friends, coaches, running partners and their entire community of Twitter followers. And, unlike many GPS-based applications, Runmeter 2.0 is battery-friendly — runners can train for up to six hours without recharging or using a battery extender.

“Runmeter 2.0 is the first running app that you can control and use while your iPhone is sleeping and secure in your pocket or armband,” said Steve Kusmer, co-founder and CEO of Abvio. “We are an extremely customer-centric, innovation-driven company and use the products ourselves. These influences drove the creation of Runmeter and will continue to drive us forward and benefit our customers.”

Runmeter 2.0 gives you all of the tools and data you need to help meet fitness and running goals, whether that goal is to complete your first 5k race or train for a full marathon. It includes maps, a complete calendar of all your runs, graphs of elevation and pace, spoken announcements of your statistics as you run, and much more.

Runmeter 2.0 is entirely iPhone-centric. It requires no Web site login or monthly subscription and is completely ad-free. Runmeter 2.0 is available now from the Apple iTunes Store for $4.99 (US). For a comparison of iPhone running applications, including Runmeter, RunKeeper Pro, iMapMyRun+ and AllSport GPS, visit www.abvio.com/running-guide.
