With so many wireless iOS networking apps for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch available, there’s very little reason to connect any of these devices to iTunes, except to update the software. Besides, importing and exporting photos using iTunes has never been one of the best features of Apple‘s mobile device process. Let me introduce you to 5 useful apps for importing and exporting photos to and from your iOS device(s).
1. DropBox
First off, if you’re an iOS device user, you should definitely have a file sharing DropBox account and app. Dropbox is one of the best ways to sync files between computers and mobile devices, because all your files can be accessed, over Wi-Fi and 3g, via your online account. The latest version of DropBox now allows bulk upload of photos and videos to your account. With the Dropbox installed on your Mac, it’s really easy to drop image content into a folder and then download it onto your iOS device, and vise versa. Another benefit of having Dropbox is that you can connect to your account from within many of the leading wireless file sharing apps, such as they ones I’m describing in this article.
2. PhotoSync
What I like best about PhotoSync is that it allows you to selectively choose photos and movie files that you want to sync between your iPhone and iPad, and any computers on your Wi-Fi network, or with a BlueTooth connection. You can even directly import photos from your iOS into your iPhoto and Aperture libraries. PhotoSync also includes a free Mac client for exporting images from your computer to your iOS device(s). And like many photo syncing devices, you can use PhotoSync to transfer files to your Dropbox and Flickr account.
3. RemoteSnap
RemoteSnap almost instantly transfers your images directly to your Mac or PC over Wi-Fi—as you snap them on your iPhone, or select existing images from your iPhone Camera or Photo Library. To use RemoteSnap, you will need to download app to your iOS device, and then install the free “RemoteSnap Server” client on your Mac or PC. The setup is very easy. With RemoteSnap’s instant transfer feature, you could set up a Hazel automation to automatically open and display images as they are sent via RemoteSnap, which means others can view your images as you take them.
4. PicBox
If you would rather not waste time selecting photos in your iPhone Camera Roll to upload to Dropbox, download a free copy of Picbox, which automatically copies entire Camera Roll of photos and/or videos to your Dropbox account with one single tap. On top of that, Picbox keeps track of which images it has already uploaded to your account. It does not erase your original images on your Camera Roll, it simply copies them to your account.
5. CameraSync
As you may have noticed, each of the apps I have described do basically the same thing, but in a slightly different way. But for a completely hassle-free uploading of pictures and video from your Camera Roll to your Dropbox, iDisk, FTP server, Amazon S3 bucket, Flickr or Box.net account—CameraSync will automatically begin the upload process right after you open the app. CameraSync can do all the uploading in the background, which means you can switch away from the app and do other things on your iPhone. CameraSync will also keep track of which images and videos it has already uploaded.
Yes, CameraSync and PicBox are nearly the same, the only difference is how fast you want the upload process to begin.
Well, the above are my picks for the top photo syncing apps. Let me know which ones you prefer.

Why you don’t have to buy iPad 2?
Apple has a new iPad
on the way, but you might get quite familiar with your original model. For the first generation product, the Apple iPad tablet that can do tons of subtle different things and not lose a function in the last few days. Sure, shiny new iPad 2 is more compact, faster, and add a camera, but other than that, there is no more in the way of upgrades. So, should you make the move to iPad 2
?
iPad iPad 2
Well, that just has a camera, so you can use the FaceTime, Photo Booth, iLife and other fun applications that focus on taking photos or video. If your best friend or favorite relative has the iPhone
, iPod touch, or Mac
, this would be the perfect way to get some video calls to leave without getting a new phone. And a faster CPU and graphics processor means that it is more suitable for future applications and games. However, there are several good reasons why you do not have to ditch your old iPad first. Here are five of them:

Here are five of them: - iPad is a good media player as iPad 2. iPad 2 not increase the resolution or increase the brightness or color screens during the first iPad, so as plain film viewer, there is no compelling reason to replace your iPad. Nothing that you can watch movies or songs you can listen on iPad 2 that you can not get the original iPad 2.
- iPad is as good as iPad 2 ebook reader
Once again, the same screen, the same ebook reader. iPad 2 will not display newspapers, magazines, and books are better than the original iPad. At most, iPad 2 will load large documents such as PDFs faster than the iPad, but that's it. It's not a good justification to get rid of your tablet and spent $ 500 for new.
- iPad can access online content equal to iPad 2
Once again, the same as playing local media files and loading ebooks, extra power iPad 2 will not make online content every subtle or more beautiful. iPad has been able to load Hulu Plus. It has been able to load Netflix. It has been able to load mobile applications Adult Swim
. What more could you want?
- iPad can be a video output to HDTV is only like iPad 2.
Apple announced Digital AV Adapter iPad next two, and show off video-mirroring feature as a strong benefit from the new tablet.Unfortunately, video mirroring only works with iPad 2, but the adapter itself is working fine with the old iPad. You can still use your original iPad as HDTV-slinging movie player, although at 720p compared to 1080p output resolution iPad 2's maximum of.(Update: Digital AV Adapter only works with first iPad up to 720p, while iPad 2 can output 1080p through the adapter and supports video mirroring you can still send videos to your HDTV via your original iPad, but it will. A slightly lower resolution. Is deal-breaker it is up to you.)
- You still will be able to use GarageBand
on iPad
Next to iMovie, GarageBand is Apple's biggest new applications announced the next two iPad. However, it will run on the original
Best application for iPad
1. Real Racing 2 HD
If you're looking for the ultimate in mobile 3D racing games, Real Racing 2 HD
delivers with beautiful, fluid, realistic graphics. Two new gyroscope-based steering methods makes hugging those curves even easier, since you don't have to touch the iPad's screen to steer.
2. Jenga HD
The nailbiter coffee-table block-building game of your youth breaks into the next dimension on the iPad 2. Full gyroscope support means you can simply move the tablet around to get various perspectives on the block pile. For example, placing the iPad parallel to the ground gives you a top-down birdseye view you can't get otherwise. In the iPhone version (sans gyroscope support), you need to flick the screen to move around the board. It really brings a new dimension to the already-fun game.
3. Google Earth
The awesome Google Earth is another app that really showcases the iPad 2's processing and graphics power. The app is visually stunning, moving around is fast and seamless, and you rarely have to wait for a map to redraw. Here's hoping Google adds gyroscope support soon.
4. Flipboard
This gorgeous, graphics-intensive, just-for-the Web "magazine" that lets you flip through your news and social media was no slouch on the first-gen iPad, and performance is even better on the iPad 2.
5. GarageBand
This excellent Mac program translates extremely well to the iPad and is true testament to how much iOS has matured—it's a desktop-class app running on a mobile device. It also showcases the new tablet's processing power.
For a closer look, check out our Hands-On GarageBand video.
6. iMovie
Apple's own desktop video-editing app, iMovie, goes mobile with a new iPad version. The easy-to-use app makes good use of the tablet's touch-screen interface, and lets you clip, add photos, music, themes, and more to the video you capture right on the iPad 2.
7. WebEx
If you need to work, but don't want to be tethered to your desk, this virtual meeting app offers two-way video conferencing that uses the iPad's front-facing camera, but just like with FaceTime, you need to be on a Wi-Fi network to use it.
8. Twittelator
Currently, Twittelator is the only Twitter client that lets you record audio and video, and take photos with the iPad 2's cameras, and use them to help illustrate your tweets.
9. Incredibooth
If the sheer fun of Apple's own preloaded Photo Booth isn't enough for you, Incredibooth turns your iPad into, well, a photo booth. Four lens filters let you create different image styles, and after you pose for your close-up in front of the iPad's front-facing camera, you have a photo strip you can either trash, share on Facebook, or e-mail to your friends.
10. Pocketbooth HD
A pumped-up version of Incredibooth, Pocketbooth HD lets you use either of the iPad 2's cameras to shoot, and offers a lot more settings to tinker with. 'Send to Twitter' and 'Print' are additional sharing options you don't get with Incredibooth.

US Teenagers Want an iPhone, iPad
Not surprisingly, American teenagers are interested in acquiring the latest Apple gadget, due in part to the company's "cool factor." About 37 percent are looking to buy an iphone
in the next six months, while about 20 percent will shell out for the ipad , according to a new survey.
"Apple's dominance in the mobile and online music markets is going seemingly unchecked, coupled with rising interest in the iPhone and iPad," Piper Jaffray senior research analyst Gene Munster said in a note to investors this week.
Piper Jaffray polled about 4,500 high school students recently to determine their interest in Apple products. Their level of interest in the iPhone is at an all-time high of 37 percent, Munster said.
"We believe the teen demographic is a critical component of long-term growth in the mobile market, and Apple is taking its lead in music and leveraging it in the mobile category," he wrote.
About 17 percent of the teens surveyed already owned an iphone
, up from 14 percent six months ago. Another 22 percent already owned a tablet (or had one in their household), and 20 percent expected to buy a tablet in the next six months.
"We believe this is a positive for Apple given the iPad's dominant position in the tablet market," Munster wrote.
Earlier this week, Deutsche Bank analyst Chris Whitmore said that PC sales got off to a slow start this year due to the "greater than expected" cannibalization of the market by smartphones and tablets, particularly the apple ipad
.
On the music front, Apple still dominates in portable music players, with 86 percent of the teen market. The percentage of students with a standalone music player declined to a low of 80 percent, however, as most (about 53 percent) listen to music on their smartphones.
As a result, 77 percent of students download their music from the Web, but 65 percent opt for file-sharing networks instead of legal MP3 stores. Of those who do use legitimate music stores, about 95 percent buy from Apple's iTunes.
"With the addition of new features to iTunes software and the Ping social network we believe Apple is well-positioned to hold its lead and even extend it," Munster wrote. "Also, the App
