Who Said it's Just a Phone??
The phone is no longer an instrument to make calls. It's moved on to bigger things, even occupying the importance of TV in our lives. In fact, so addicted are we to the games and apps on our phone that we forget that it is but a phone. The iPhone offers an unbelievable selection of apps to do tasks that we would not be able to do normally with other phones. While most phones let you take pictures and videos, the iPhone lets you do some more awesome stuff. Here's a look at some of the things that you can do with your iPhone.
Snaptell
Get information about any book or CD by simply snapping a picture and letting the app do the rest. The Snaptell app can immediately look up the relevant information and present it to you in an easy to understand interface. It will also give you info about where you can purchase the product and for how much, while at the same time linking you to various search and selling sites such as Amazon, Wikipedia and Barnes and Nobles. Sometimes it might not show an accurate result, but that's probably because you might have clicked the picture of something that is a little more obscure.
