I received the iSkin Enigma in the mail for review not two days ago, but I’m already thoroughly impressed by the quality. It’s just a little bit on the bling-y side with all the chrome on the front, but the white leather on the back is quite classy, and the fit is absolutely superb. The cut-out for the camera lens is absolutely dead-on as well.

Most people (myself included) probably don’t have the extra $100 to purchase the Enigma, but it should be quite an interesting alternative to Vaja and other high-end case makers. Look for a full review in the coming weeks.

GE MOOD CAM APP

The application is called the GE Mood Cam app. Basically you take a picture of your room and then you slide the “Moodometer” to apply different filters to the image you took to simulate lighting effects in the room. Once you find the light effect you want, you can put together a shopping list of the GE bulbs you need to achieve the effect.

There are six different moods to choose from and you can even tell the app what sockets your light fixtures use so you get the exact bulb part numbers you need. The app is free and on the App Store right now.

MASAKA SOFT

MASAKA Soft today is pleased to announce the release of Disguised Cam version 1.5 for iPhone and iPod touch. Disguised Cam was developed specifically for users to take photos and video while “disguising” itself as a web browser app, an email app, an ebook reader app, a SMS app, or any other app that users prefer.

Ever saw a great photo opportunity but can’t take the picture because the normal camera interface would draw too much attention? If yes, Disguised Cam is the app that perfectly solves that situation. Disguised Cam allows users to take photos or capture video without any view finder shown. Instead, users can pretend that they were browsing web, reading email, text SMS, reading ebook or, with Custom Disguise mode on, pretending that they were using one of their favorite apps.

Disguised Cam works with a simple and intuitive control. Tap anywhere on screen once to take photo or start video recording, slide one finger down to reveal the viewfinder (to get a better aim at subject) and double-tap to open Settings. In Settings, users can choose the preferred Disguise mode or choose between still photo and video mode.

ANNOUNCE THE RELEASE

No Tie Software today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of Ringtones Uncensored Pro 6.1 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. Antennagate is over and, with Bumpers in hand, iPhone owners will be making and receiving more calls than ever. The big news is that the iPhone can finally tell you who is calling, literally, thanks to Ringtones Uncensored Pro! Users no longer need to remember which song corresponds to which contact. Every caller can be assigned a unique Talking CallerID ringtone using Ringtones Uncensored.

Talking Text-to-Speech Ringtones can be both professional and fun! Users can select from dozens of speaking voices, including British Man, Woman, Valley Girl, Jersey Girl, Old Man, as well as funny voices like Devil, Space Alien, Synthesizer and Whisper.

The German organization doesn’t specify which two rival handsets were tested but recalls that, while a decrease in signal was observed when their antenna was held, the most it could record was a 25-percent loss. As with Consumer Reports, the company suggests a length of tape placed over the iPhone 4?s antenna bridge as a temporary solution until a free iPhone 4 case arrives.

Stiftung Warentest’s results highlight another issue with smartphone signal strength, one that in fact Apple itself has identified: with no standardized way of displaying strength in bars, it’s hard for users to know whether what’s indicated on their screen means they’ll be able to place a call successfully or not. Apple recently pushed out iOS 4.0.1 for the iPhone 4 which reworked their signal strength banding; however this latest round of testing suggests that the iPhone 4 antennagate arguments aren’t going to go away any time soon.

Catamount Software has announced Today! 1.0, an app that supplements Calendar to add missing features sought out by busy professionals and others who need more ease, efficiency, and power than Apple’s Calendar supplies. Mail, Messages, and Phone all show a badge when you have things to do in them, but Calendar is missing this crucial piece of information so that allows you to quickly view what you have left to do today without needing to open Calendar.

Today! also shows all the information you need about appointment time, location, and notes for the appointment without needing extra taps, and integrates with Maps so you can tap on location to open the route to your next appointment.

“Finally an app that can actually help me manage my schedule. As great as the iPhone is, the calendar function requires several mechanical processes to manage your meetings, but with Today! all you need to do is turn on the phone and “presto” all your calendars are merged and managed right on the main screen. I’ve stopped missing meetings … now that’s great for Today!” – Andy Sanborn, busy small business owner.
