Life in LoFi: iPhoneography | iPhone Photo News, Showcases, App Reviews

A year ago, we asked the question “How many photography apps do you currently have on your iPhone?” in our first LoFi Poll.  I thought one year out, this would be a good opportunity to see how, if at all, the numbers have changed.

Sharing your iPhone photography online is probably one of the most important things you can do as an artist to increase your exposure to new viewers. There are many online options available to share your images — some more visible than others and some more easier to share with family and friends.

Which photo sharing and showcase websites do you use? To help settle this burning question, click past the jump to let us know in our completely unscientific LoFi poll. You can select as many as you’d like.

Cydia screenshot on a jailbroken iPhone

This week, the Library of Congress ruled that jailbreaking your iPhone is a permitted fair use under the DMCA. There are many reasons to jailbreak an iPhone, among them the ability to run apps that have been rejected by the App Store or simply to unlock your iPhone to use with an unsupported carrier.

I had a jailbroken and unlocked 2G that I used for years on T-Mobile’s network here with great reception and great results. For a long time, Cydia was the only place to purchase Snapture and ClearCam — two of my favorite photo apps in their day. Using PDANet as a wireless modem, available only for iPhone in Cydia and other repositories, saved my cookies on more than one occasion when tethering wasn’t an option for iPhones. Now that it is and there’s an additional $20/month charge here simply for the privilege of tethering, does jailbreaking become a more attractive option?

Our new poll this week is now that you can legally jailbreak your iPhone to run unsupported apps like SnapTap or PDANet, will you? Is it worth the trouble and potential iOS instability to circumvent the restrictions and charges of Apple and AT&T? Vote below or head on over to the sidebar to vote. Let us know what you think and feel free to discuss in the comments section.

We’ve got a new LoFi Poll this week.

I’m often asked if I could recommend one iPhone photo editor, which would it be. It really is a difficult question to answer as there are a lot of factors to consider, such as level of experience in photography and Photoshop. Which, of course, leads to the question “If I could  choose only one image editor, which would it be?” And thus, this week’s poll.

We’ve got a new LoFi Poll this week.

Did you catch Steve Jobs’ keynote speech at WWDC where he introduced the new iPhone 4? Hop on over to the sidebar to cast your vote. This week’s poll is “What do you think of the new iPhone 4?”

Once again, as you can tell by my very carefully worded responses, there is dubious scientific value to the poll. It’s just for fun. Let us know what you think!

Here are the final results for the previous LoFi poll, back when the new device was called the iPhone 4G (I still like iPhone 3GX…). Three ‘Droid fans… interesting.

We’ve got a new LoFi Poll this week. Hop on over to the sidebar to cast your vote. This week’s poll is “Are you planning to upgrade when the new iPhone 4G/HD comes out this Summer?”

Personally, I like the name iPhone 3GX where the X means XTREME! but we can’t always have our way.

As you can tell by my very carefully crafted responses, there is dubious scientific value to the poll. It’s just for fun. Let us know what you think!
