Free Jotsy Document Annotator Public Beta for BlackBerry PlayBook

Posted: 03 Jan 2012 01:44 AM PST

Jotsy Navigation

Jotsy is a very slick document annotator that RIM showed off during the keynote at BlackBerry DevCon Americas a few months ago. It was scheduled to ship with OS 2.0 and is now coming out in a public beta on App World. The app is built on HTML5 and allows you to annotate documents from the PlayBook with their cool interface. You can then synchronize those documents and annotations with your PC. You need the PC app for that which you can find at www.jotsy.com.

You can check out the Jotsy beta in App World free. The premium versions are planned to be coming in Q1 2012 so there should be a few updates by then!

Giveaway Contest: CAMultimate Camera Tools and Photo Effects Editor

Posted: 02 Jan 2012 06:53 AM PST

Last year, we introduced to you guys an awesome application, CAMultimate, which is created by the guys over at Prettyfang. This year, Prettyfang have just informed us that their application now supports all devices running OS6.0 and above! In conjunction with this new year, the team over at PrettyFang has also given us 10 copies of CAMultimate PRO-EDITION to giveaway!

CAMultimate Camera Tools and Photo Effects Editor is an application that packs quite punch with a few camera and photo utilities all within a single application. Originally built for the BlackBerry Torch 9800 but the application now supports all devices with OS 6.0 and above. The application includes tons of little features that let you do things like take a burst of pictures or even mute the shutter sound. All in all, its a pretty feature filled application for its price of just $3.99.

Features include:

CAMeffects – Create image effects on new and existing photos with over 18 different camera filters! (can cost you at least $0.99 if bought separately from elsewhere) The CAMeffects mode also includes a Pencil Sketch Effect that amends your photo simulating a pencil sketch effect (Can cost you $2.99 if bought separately from elsewhere)
CAMfun- Create fun effects on new and existing photos! Includes a Fat Face Effect (Can cost you $0.99 if bought separately from elsewhere) that you can apply to a new photo or to one you already have!
CAMshout mode – Surprise your friends with the unique CAMshout that gives a shout out to your friends before you take a photo, ideal for making your friends aware of when you are taking that pic!
CAM-QR mode – Read and create your very own QR codes! Most QR readers on the market today allow you to read QR codes, but with ours not only can you read, but you can also create your very own QR codes direct from your own Blackberry device!
View Gallery mode – View all your photos that you have taken with CAMultimate and you can keep, delete, or send to your friends!
GEOtag Images – Add a GEOtag which will save your location tag to the properties of the image taken in standard camera mode! A geotag gives your location and saves the location tag to the image of your photo in Standard CAM mode so your friends know the place where you took the photo!
CAMburst – Take three photos in a short space of time! (Can cost you $0.99 if bought seperately from elsewhere) so you can take multiple shots in one go, ensuring that you dont miss that golden opportunity when it matters the most!
CAMtimer – A 3 or 5 second self timer that will take a photo automatically for you (Can cost you $0.99 if bought seperately from elsewhere) This mode allows you to predefine a timer and set CAMultimate to take the photo image for you automatically after a few seconds! No more of "which button do I press" and "I'm not sure it took the photo, lets try again" scenarios, saving you so much hassle!
CAMmute – Captures the onscreen image as a photo without the shutter sound so that if you find the shutter sound annoying, then why not take a quick simple capture of the screen using the CAMmute mode, which simulates a camera shutter mute see below for further details.
Crop Image – Only want your friends to see just part of an image? Well now you can; by cropping a photo and saving it. Cut out parts that spoil your photos and only really show what really matters! (this feature can set you back RRP $0.99 if bought seperately from elsewhere)
Edit Pictures – Apply any effect and crop any image as and when you like!
