Shoot a single photo quickly!

How it works:
Tap 1Shoot icon in SpringBoard.
Point to what/who you want to capture.
Stay calm.
Done, no further tap required.

As soon as the accelerometer inside your iPhone thinks is stable enough 1Shoot will capture the picture without any further tapping. The application will close inmediately after the shoot. Your new photo is saved in the Camera Roll photo album.

Not very useful, unless
* You care taking the photo as fast as possible
* You like self portraits
* You have kids or pets (not comparison intended)

Cydia is a new package management format for iPhone.

A new version of the MMS application SwirlyMMS for iPhone is out!

Release notes:

Hi all you swirly iPhoneMMSers!

We are happy to announce that we have just submitted a new version of SwirlyMMS to the Ste source repository! Expect to see it soon on the Installer. The major feature in this release is the capability to receive MMSs, which we know many of you have been quite eager for…

So, now you can both send and receive MMSs with your iPhone! Isn’t that cool? Besides the new receive feature, a couple of bugs have been fixed and a few under-the-hood enhancements have been made.

Admittedly, this release is still pretty rough. Ok, it is very rough 😉 However, we will make major improvements in the user interface till the next v0.4 release, or dare we call it v1.0…

Have fun!

Tommy & Mats

Sound should now function correctly following a state load – though since fMSX PSP uses a different sound engine, this may not work as expected (please report!)

When switching games, latest save state will be automatically highlighted
