Ok, so packing two cameras onto a single phone to snap 3D pictures was kind of a bad idea. But what if you could just double the phone-count and do the same? The new SynchroCam app does just that.
Sonos has offered iOS — and more recently Android — apps for its music systems for some time now. The rise in popularity of smartphones and inexpensive tablets has seen the company formally announce that it’s discontinuing its standalone controller, although locally we won’t see the discontinued controllers dropping in price.
Instagram and Hipstamatic are getting together to let Hipstamatic users post to Instagram, according to Fast Company. It’s the first time that Instagram’s API has let anyone post to the photo-sharing network with anything but the official iPhone Instagram app.
Here’s another app privacy problem you might have to worry about: apps that have access to location information on your iPhone or iPad can access, copy and steal your entire iPhone library without you even knowing. Watch your pictures!

Wherever you’re singing, there’s a good chance you’re singing it wrong. Here’s an app that’ll fix that and save you from the occasional “Hold me closer, Tony Danza.”
Contrary to form, let’s talk about something old-fashioned: music boxes – specifically, the kind that are attached to snow globes.
