Photojojo gives you disposable camera treatment with your iPhone

Photojojo gives you disposable camera treatment with your iPhone

Feeding on your nostalgia and the days of disposable cameras, Photojojo introduces the Disposable Camera app for the iPhone. How this works is you download the free app and then will have to pay US$12.99 for a roll of “film” with 27 shots. As you take photos with the app, the counter will reduce the number of shots and you also won’t be able to see how your photo turned out until you have it printed. When you’re done, you then have Photojojo print these for you and they’ll send it back to you in around 10 days. It’s a rather expensive idea but if you’re one to try out new (yet old) concepts, you can give this a try.

WhatsApp hits 800M monthly active users

WhatsApp has reached another milestone and now has 800 million monthly active users. The app is up 100 million users since January, which is the time they hit 700 million. And the app continues to expand steadily. We won’t be surprised if they hit the billion mark before the year ends. Last month, Google Play showed that the Facebook-owned app has been downloaded over a billion times on Android.

Google taps search to recommend apps

Helping out developers to get more eyes on their apps, Google is using its search engine to suggest apps to users. If you type something in search, they'll prompt you to install a certain app that can help fulfill the need or at least assist you with the search term. Once you install the app, you'll be redirected in the app to what you wanted to do on the web. For example, you're searching for a restaurant, Google might recommend OpenTable for you. Once installed, you'll be redirected to the reservation page of said restaurant. Developers can check out how they can be part of this implementation in the link below.
