Photo of the Day 6.22.09

by Karen Walrond on

Last week, I finally joined the 21st century, and bought myself an iPhone. This is the first phone I’ve ever owned with a camera in it; since I have a few regular cameras that I avidly use, what, I reasoned, would I need a camera phone for?

I have to say, I’m becoming a convert, especially when I see amazing shots like the one shared by Arachide, above, taken in Prague with his iPhone, and applying a toy camera application. It’s like a vintage photograph — so beautiful.

Looks like I’m going to have to take my iPhone out for a spin.

If you’ve got some great travel shots you’d love to share, be sure to upload them to the Gadling pool on Flickr. We might just pick one as our Photo of the Day.

Have2P – an iPhone app for the well hydrated

by Annie Scott on

“Sometimes when nature calls, you may not be in the most convenient place to answer.”

So sayeth the tagline for the iPhone application Have2P. The application can also be used on an iPod Touch with WiFi.

So, how does it work?

It automatically detects your location and then provides a list of places with public (and sometimes semi-public, like restaurants) restrooms nearby. It even includes ratings and notes from previous Have2P’ers such as “dirty” or “bring change for the attendant.”

Best of all, you can avoid businesses that are flagged as “for patrons only” to avoid being turned away from respite. This application is great for tourists, but even in your own town … if you’re a coffee drinker … yeah.
