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.

Here’s a nice post-Christmas mind bender for you — it’s created by a company named Ogmento (they specialize in augmented reality applications — get it?) and is an iPhone app that creates an augmented reality version of the iPhone. In other words, they put an iPhone in your iPhone so you can iPhone while you iPhone. Dawg.

Why did they do this? Apparently it’s a promotion for the iPhone launch by Orange Telecom in Israel. But it’s pretty crazy — the iPhone inside the app even runs apps, though they’re just still pictures. And it’s a little disappointing that you interact with the fake iPhone via the real iPhone’s touchscreen. If it really was an augmented reality demonstration, wouldn’t you interact with the augmented reality iPhone just by moving your hand in the air where it should be?

Maybe that’s too mind-melting after a relaxing Christmas day. At any rate, enjoy the crazy video above. This isn’t anything we’ll see coming to the App Store any time soon, we’re sure, but it’s just the kind of thing to get your mind up and running again after all that egg nog and holiday cheer.

TUAW loves our iPhones and we love our NES games. We’ve been convinced for some time now they are two great tastes that would no doubt taste great together. Tonight I settled in to write a post about how exciting it was that you could play old school public-domain and freeware Nintendo games on your iPhone now, thanks to Jonathan Zdziarski and Nescaline, the app he built to do just that. Ah, Kid Icarus and Ninja Gaiden and Zelda and Mario, all my old friends back again (if I had legal licenses to the ROM images, of course). I was excited to relive my pixelated past, but it was not to be. Jason updated his site this evening saying Nescaline had been pulled: Read more…

Search is really getting interesting these days. Microsoft late last night released Bing [iTunes link] for the iPhone — a full featured free app offering search, movies, maps, and directions, all with voice control.

It’s notable that Microsoft is going after iPhone mind-share after Steve Ballmer famously dissed the iPhone more than 2 years ago. He’s had to sit back and watch the iPhone eclipse Windows Mobile phones in the marketplace, which can’t be pleasant, but business is business, and Microsoft is pushing the Bing search suite of tools hard.
