Kindle Fire HD Software update adds Camera app, Swype and FreeTime Unlimited

Liked the sound of Kindle FreeTime Unlimited? Well it turns out that’s not the only new goodie on the way. Software update 7.2.2 for the seven-inch Kindle Fire HD also brings a few other bonuses. First up, is a Camera app, to let you take mug-shots with that front-facing shooter, while the keyboard gets a boost with added Swype functionality. The update should come over the air automatically, but if that’s not the case — or, like us, you’re not the patient type — then you can manually initiate a software sync. More details on that can be found in the source.

HTC One X gets Android 4.0.4 update today: enhances camera app, adds menu functionality to multitasking button

Posted in: Today's Chili

If you thought the One X‘s capacitive button layout jarred with the Ice Cream Sandwich experience you saw on the Galaxy Nexus, you’ll like what HTC’s just told us. An update to version 4.0.4, launching today, will allow users to map menu functionality to the lower right ‘recent app’ key, while it will also treat its owners to white balance and continuous autofocus improvements within its well-received camera app. Expect a handful of stability improvements as well as a dedicated tab switcher for the built-in browser — if you haven’t already made the leap to Chrome. According to HTC, the update for the international iteration rolls out today, with the AT&T version already doing the rounds. The full statement’s included below. Let us know how you get on.

Snap Clap App: Clap Your Hands, Say Cheese!

Posted in: Today's Chili

There must be a better way to take pictures of yourself without having to painstakingly set up the timer and running all the way to join the others who are already posing for the picture. It’s pretty clear who’s in charge of setting up the timer by just looking at the photo: just pick out the guy or girl with the haphazard hair and frazzled expression.

There are triggers and remotes for this kind of thing, of course. But if you can’t be bothered with that and don’t mind clapping to show the world you’re happy (and that you’re eager for a picture), then you can get the Snap Clap app for iOS devices instead.

Snap Clap

It’s basically a simplistic trigger app that snaps a picture – every time you clap your hands.Now you’d probably have to worry about you clapping your hands in the photos, but that’s better than looking all haggard and unkempt, right?

The cool thing is that the app also has some post-processing tools up its sleeve, such as filters that you can apply to change the look and feel of your photos. Snap Clap can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store for $0.99 (USD).
