Snapture iPhone app

Snapture Labs and Occipital are bringing their popular photo-taking application to the users of non-jailbroken iPhones. I’m talking about Snapture, which is no longer available through Cydia, only — you can get it “legally” from the AppStore, as well.

Those not familiar — who haven’t followed IntoMobile closely — should know that Snapture’s trick is in using the special technology which makes photos taken with the iPhone and the whole process of taking photos much better. Among the application’s features, we highlight:

  • Picture-in-Picture mode that allows you to view, delete and email photos directly from the viewfinder, without ever having to enter camera roll.
  • Pinch&Pan multi-touch 5x zoom
  • High-Speed Multi-Shot (x3)
  • Ability to tap anywhere to take a picture – not just on the dedicated on-screen button
  • Multiple image sizes
  • Level Aid

If all this sounds interesting — and trust me when I say you’ll use Snapture rather than a built-in camera app, all the time — prepare to pour out $1.99 to download the app, which BTW is available in 12 languages. AppStore link is here.
