At Macworld: AutoPark App- No More TicketsBy Gary Abel, February 13, 2010
If you've run up hundreds of dollars of parking tickets, you need this app. The app sets up an alarm to warn you when your time is almost up at your parking meter. That alone could save you some big bucks, but the app does so much more. You can find where you parked your car using GPS markers. If you're in a parking garage, you can input your level and section.

![]() Don't go to the Arches without this app!By Cindy Downes, December 18, 2009
I wish I'd had the Arches National Park Geology Tour app when my husband and I visited Arches National Park a few years ago. Everything you need is here: information about the formation of the park, audio narration and photos of the Park's geological formations, as well as a map showing you where to find each of these formations. Most important - It all works without Internet access so you can use it in the Park.

Backpacking through Africa Part II
Bogged down in Cameroon, feeding the hippos, the lost valley of the gorillas, and more.
My wife, Gwynne, and I, along with our iPhone, have been traveling in Africa for five months. We started in Gibraltar and will end up in Istanbul. This article chronicles our trip to the halfway point in Cape Town, South Africa.
Experienced African travelers immediately show respect to anyone traveling overland in western Africa; traveling there is not for the feint-of-heart. Luckily, I brought along my iPhone.

iTunes App Store undergoing subtle but significant changes... with some difficultyBy Todd Bernhard, November 7, 2009
Topics: If you've been paying close attention, as most developers do, to the App Store, you may have noticed some changes.
This is potentially a good thing for users but there are some downsides. The good news is, you won't have to search through old apps to find new gems. It might also discourage developers from submitting minor updates just to be featured on the New Releases page. That will also cut down on approval time as fewer apps need to be reviewed.

![]() PicTranslator — another app for taking a photo of foreign language text and translatingBy Jim Karpen, October 31, 2009
Topics: Yesterday I posted about a new app, Babelshot, that lets you take a photo of text in a foreign language and then translates it. Today I learned of another: PicTranslator. It has 16 languages, compared to Babelshot's 33. It's cheaper at $0.99, but that only includes one language. You can buy additional languages via in-app purchasing at $0.99 each, or you can buy all languages for $1.99. Five of the languages include audio translation, which is helpful. Again, I think this is a pretty cool use of the built-in camera.

A Developer's View on In-App Purchases for Free AppsBy Todd Bernhard, October 20, 2009
Topics: Apple recently announced a major shift in how they treat free apps and I have been mulling over what it means to developers, in addition to end users. In the past, "In-App Purchases", or the ability to add features to an app, were only available for paid apps. Free apps could not be upgraded, short of purchasing the paid version separately. Now, users of these free apps can purchase upgrades. On one hand, more choices are a good thing. But I have some concerns.
