8 Of My Favorite iPhone App

I can’t leave home without my iPhone.  One of the most invaluable tool for me and my work.  I enjoy the many applications that truly help me with my day to day tasks.  Here are 10 of my favorite applications.  My 1st one is the CameraBag. Simple. Intuitive. Minimal interface.   Take a new photo or choose one from your library, swipe between camera styles, and save any you like. For more control, use the options panel to set camera behavior, image size, cropping and border effects, and more. You can also email photos directly from within CameraBag. There are 2 options in using the App

To take a new picture:
Press the camera icon. This will open Apple’s default camera*.
*Please note that the photo-taking feature is only available on the iPhone; the iPod Touch touch doesn’t have a camera.

To select a photo from your iPhone library:
Press the library icon. Navigate to the photo you wish to use, and select it. You will then be prompted by a screen to confirm your photo choice.
