Now these aren’t just ordinary photos taken, they are certified to make them legally binding, something that can make or break a dispute between two parties. With this new Shoot & Proof app for iPhones, your shots can be legally binding without any worries of tampering or falsification.
The pictures are certified by being watermarked, encrypted, and stored, as well as geolocalised and timestamped. This data shows “Where” the picture was taken, “When” it was taken, and by “Whom”. Most importantly of all, it demonstrates that it has not been falsified.
The app is now available for download from Coda System for only $1.99. This includes certification of 2 pictures. However by September, users will be able to buy extra pictures directly from their app thanks to the exclusive in-app purchase.

Some say it shows your personality, for others its just something to remind you that is actually your phone ringing, for others its whatever is the latest hot tune in the charts, ringtones have also been a large source of interest for mobile phone users, the demand is always there. With itunes charing at least 1usd for the latest ringtones and other websites charging more and doing various deals for receiving ringtones every month it is good to know that a rumor is in the works about Apple rushing to buy the rights to some “ready made ringtones”.
Some music industries have reportedly told CNet that Apple will announce and begin selling ringtones at a special press event on September 9th. Back in 2007 it was Itunes who made it possible for users to create their own custom ringtones, this feature costed 99 cents. This was instantly a success as it was a pretty simple practice which tended to catch on quickly plus the small price tag for having your own individually created ringtone could not be beaten even know this is still one of the more popular choices made when selecting a ringtone.
It has been known though that most consumers would pay up to 3 dollars for a ringtone so anything less that that will be a bargain in most consumers eyes. The Apple iPod-centric event will take place on September 9th were if rumors are true the announcement will take place and it should be a good move for ringtone lovers who want a change on their iPod.
One of the most popular activities on the internet is social networking, people want a good speed connection from their computer to use them and social networking has now become one of the most in demand applications to use on their iPhones. With Facebook been currently the most popular with the most users worldwide it seems only natural that people will get excited about the new Facebook 3.0 application.
In the past there was a Facebook 2.8 application but it really did not give the user the full social networking experience like the newer version is going to do, for example with this new version you can:
- View your friends birthdays and rsvp
- Zoom into photo’s and upload photos to any album
- Make friend requests and become a fan of pages
- Call or text friends
- Complete photo management from uploading to deleting and editing
- Search for people and groups in an easier faster way
If you are one of the millions who are addicted to the social network phenomenon that is Facebook then you can rest easy in the knowledge that you can access and stay up to date with your friends no matter where you may be all with this brand new application available for purchase now, so if you have the old version quickly update to 3.0 and experience your favorite social network sight the way it was intended to be, it will not get any better than this and should leave the millions of users more than satisfied with the updates.
