Episode 206 - Camera+ Update [Discussion]

Last Thursday Apple pulled the popular camera app "Camera+" from the App Store after a hidden feature that let users use the volume button on the phone to take pictures was 'leaked' by the developers.

Watch or download now!

Ok, the use of the volume button as a means to take a picture is a good idea. Apple is probably pulling all apps that do this because they are like: "Why didn't we think of that?" and are most likely going ti feature it in their next OS release. Essentially, Apple is stealing ideas from people and releasing them as their own...well not really but just a guess on my part.

Well not yet, of course, but I fully expect Apple to make this a "feature" of an upcoming iOS update in the future.
