Snappy is a perfect application for iPhone-ownin’ paparazzos around the globe. The idea is launch the camera in shortest time possible and quickly snap a photo (of a celebrity?). Snappy is ready to shoot in just 1-2 seconds, requiring users only to tap and hold the status bar from anywhere, application and lock screen included.

Unfortunately (or not), it’s a jailbreak thing only, meaning you’ll need to fully unlock your beloved handset prior to installing Snappy. The price is $1.99 and you can grab it from the Cydia store.

And now the video, as screenshots can’t tell the full story. Enjoy! ;)

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    This sounds like an ok app but anything that encourages people to become a pap isn’t a good thing, of course there are many other less intrusive applications for Snappy i guess, family photos, quick shots of fleeting moments of rapture and the like.
