Snappy is a camera app for the iPhone that launches quickly without having to exit your currently running application.

Snappy is also accessible directly from your lock screen. Simply tap and hold the status bar (the bar at the top of the screen with AT&T logo, signal bars, battery, etc) to launch and you are immediately ready to take pictures; compare that to the five to six seconds it takes to exit a running application and launch the native camera app.

What’s New in Version 2.0
- Video for 3gs (with option for video as default on launch).
- MMS for MMS enabled devices.
- Geo tagging.
- Faster image writing.
- More complete handling of device orientation.
- Various bug fixes.

You can purchase Snappy from the Cydia Store for $1.99.

A German iPhone user has reported receiving a refurbished iPhone 3G in a box labeled for an 8GB iPhone 3GS. “David,” a moderator on the apfeltalk forums, has posted a photo (Translated Link) of the box’s serial number/IMEI label, which clearly says “iPhone 3GS v2.2, 8GB;” iPhone 3G S also appears on the box’s contents label. David reports that the phone inside is indeed an iPhone 3G, running software 3.0.1, despite the box’s markings. Evidence of an 8GB iPhone 3GS model appeared as early as this August in a supposed internal Rogers Wireless memo and on the carrier’s website; it is expected that this new low-end model would replace the current 8GB iPhone 3G in Apple’s lineup.

In just a few days the Motorola Droid will hit the market. Verizon has been marketing the phone for a few weeks now and launched several ads attacking the iPhone

The iPhone 3GS is still faster, but the Droid can scroll through the page much faster. I don’t like the Droid at all. The iPhone is still the winner and a beautifully designed phone.
