The app lets you create professional auctions listings on your iPad itself, and it’s very easy to use. Once the app is authorized by eBay, you’re ready to go. It’s super easy to create an auction and you the customization is just amazing. The finished listing look great and professional, just like the ones you create on GarageSale for mac. I’d say the app is worth the price and would recommend it for all the iPad users.

GarageSale HD lets you create, edit, track, and manage all your eBay auctions directly on your iPad.

GarageSale’s Main Features:

- Supports 16 different eBay sites including eBay.com, eBay Motors US, eBay.ca, and eBay.de
- Includes 10 professional auction designs
- Offers free hosting for your auction images, thus saving your eBay’s image hosting fees (has be to activated in application preferences).
- Lets you add existing images to your auction or take new snapshots directly from within the application
- Automatically downloads category and attribute data updates from eBay as they are released
- Displays previews of your auction before uploading them to eBay
- Retrieves and displays real-time fee information from eBay
- Shares prepared auction with GarageSale for Mac using Bonjour sharing
- Saves prepared auctions for later refinement

The User Interface: A cartographic interface is just beautiful and cute, there are several nice animations and overall the UI is just awesome and the Grid lens teams has done a great job with it. Its one of the most creative designs I have seen, and its really simple to use.

Taking Photos: There are a variety of customization possible. You can create grid or your own, change the grid color, border width etc. You can take photos by, either tapping each grid one by one, or, just tap the Shutter button and it will automatically capture each after a preset time interval, which you can change in the setting menu. (burst mode and manual shoot mode)

Editing: The app offers several filter that the makes the photos even more magical.

Sharing:  You can share your photos online, through twitter, facebook, flickr, Instagram and email.

You can view a Flickr group of Grid lens photos here.

You can get Grid Lens from the App Store here.

This app has a simple UI, which you’ll get used to in a few minutes, and even though some may like it, I’m not by pleased with it. The UI is very similar to the native iOS user interface and I would have been happier if they were a bit more creative.

The editing and viewing is really simple, it renders most of the files well, and editing is just easy. It has a very useful toolbar at the top that allows me to quickly change formatting, and you can import photos and other content into the documents.

Importing and exporting files is excellent with cloud support (most of the major cloud services), it also supports editing files on the cloud.

It may not be the best app for documents, but still, there’s the $8 price tag (compared to Pages’s $10 cost). But even that price comparison is deceptive, since Office 2 HD actually combines not just a word processor, but also a spreadsheet editor, and a presentation editor, too. So this app is really worth your money.

You can download this app for 7.99$.

First look: A downloader manager and browser, integrated together in this nice app. At first, I had a little trouble downloading files, especially videos, but after a few days, I find it pretty easy and the download manager is very fast.

The browser may not be the best experience and some times I had trouble navigating through websites, but still I’d say this is the best download manager available in the app store. There are tons of features including pass code lock, wifi transfer and custom user agent. The app also supports zip files and can extract them very fast. You can even backup the files to iCloud!

iDownloader pro is capable of downloading files in the background and popes up a push notification banner when it is complete, that’s a neat feature!
Another wonderful part, is its file manager. It can play almost all kinds of videos and music, an it also supports playlists. You can transfer files via iTunes, or via wifi.

There is a similar version of this app, video downloader pro, I’d recommend that app for users who download lots of videos.

Conclusion: If you want to download files on the go, this is the app for you.

iDownloader Pro, currently available in the App Store for $1.99

The home page consists of history, and most played, all the songs and albums are arranged a high res tiles. At the top we can change view, artists, albums or playlists. And at the bottom we have the music player controls. The artists and album view are arranged in alphabetic order.

You can also customise the app a lot, there are several options for the background picture and there are a variety of colour schemes.

It’s a great app for those who prefer a change from the boring default music interface.

You can download the app from app store from $1.99

AVPlayer HD

The best video player for iOS platform!
Rating : 4.8/5
Developer: ePLAYWORKs

First look: One of the most interesting thing about this app is its simple UI, you’ll get along with this app as soon as you get it. Menu has three options, The first option is Media Explorer where your videos are arranged in a library. Then comes Wifi transfer, where you’re able to receive videos from your PC. And, there’s the settings link.

You can transfer videos via iTunes, or via wifi. You have to be in the Wifi transfer section at all times while receiving video.

I have been testing this app, and I’m really amazed that this app is capable of playing almost all video format at it full resolution, there is no hassle of converting the video for the iPad.

Some other cool features are :

Pass code lock, either the entire library or particular folders.
You can swipe the video to fast forward or rewind the video.
Increase play speed.
Orientation lock inside the app itself.

The file format support is unparalleled, including:
xvid, avi, mkv, vob, mp4, mov, m4v, four of the most popular subtitling formats are also catered for.

One improvement I’d suggest is that, It’ll be nice if the media explorer supports icon/tile view also, instead of the only list view.

Conclusion: If you watch a lot of video on your iPad/iPhone, this is the app for you. At 2.99$, I’d it is worth the price.

Download it for your iPad (AVPlayerHD), for you iPhone/iPod (AVPlayer)

Name: LSBrightSlider
Price: FREE
Repo: BigBoss

As illustrated by the screenshot above, a brightness slider is added to the lock screen under the volume slider. Pressing the home button twice while on the lock screen pulls up the slider – the iPod controls as well as the two sliders will become visible. Swiping to the right increases the brightness of the display and swiping to the left decreases the brightness of the display.

Made very evident from the screenshot, the design of the brightness slider is not consistent with the volume slider. You can tell almost immediately that the knob and the bar are not the same as the volume slider has a shinier appearance. However, when you theme your iOS device with WinterBoard themes and the theme includes a lock screen or knob theme, both knobs and bars will adopt the same theme. It would make a great future update for the appearance to be made consistent for those design sticklers out there.

Functionally, the tweak works perfectly and the brightness changes as advertised. There are no options to configure from the settings application and no icons are added to the home screen – you just install it and start using it from the lock screen, but you will have to uninstall it to get rid of it if you don’t like it. If you think adjusting the brightness from the lock screen will be useful for you, then give this free jailbreak tweak a try.

Here is the promo video of the other Galaxy Player ( YP-G50) :

I will start with my favorite phone, The Apple iPhone. “This changes Everything, Again!“, Yes it did. The iPhone 4 is the best Smart Phone from 2010, it was successful in many ways. It brought many news features and upgraded that made it the king of the smart phone world!

Google Nexus S. The only phone with Android 2.3, directly marketed by Google, manufactured by Samsung, the Nexus S one of the most powerful smart phones. With all new looks and improved hardware it will be a great phone for the android fans. Even though it is a late comer, will can still consider it has an awesome phone from 2010.

Samsung Galaxy S. It features a 1 GHz “Hummingbird” processor along with 8–16 GB internal Flash memory, a 4-inch 480×800 pixel Super AMOLED (PenTile) capacitive touchscreen display, a 5-megapixel camera and on select models, a VGA front-facing camera. The base version of the phone, the GT-I9000, was quickly followed by variant models for the US carriers, including the Epic 4G, Vibrant, Captivate, and Fascinate.

Nokia N8. We may have had to wait longer than expected to get our hands on the Nokia N8 but when it finally arrived in October we were more than happy. The Nokia N8 delivered a lot more than I hoped it would. The first smartphone to pack Symbian3 inside, the multiple Homescreens and easy switching between apps is a joy. The problem was that, it was still laggy and the apps were terrible, which has started to improve.

HTC Evo 4G. Smartphone developed by HTC Corporation and marketed as Sprint’s flagship Android smartphone, running on its WiMAX network, which is currently a non-standardized platform. The smartphone launched on June 4, 2010.

I would love to know which phone my readers like the most, you can vote in the poll below:
