Apps Turn iPhone into iPad Camera, Stunning 'Star Wars' Art

by Warren Riddle on April 7, 2010 at 07:05 PM

There's a load of great tech news happening out there everyday, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web.
  • For iPad owners, everyday is like Christmas. New apps are games are constantly emerging, as are awesome tricks, features and impressive capabilities. Apple fans who own a Bluetooth device and both an iPhone and iPad can actually sync their devices in order to remedy the iPad's lack of a camera. By downloading apps for both devices, Cupertino consumers can turn their iPhone into a wireless iPad camera, in order to broadcast (and save) the iPhone's captured image on the tablet's screen.

  • The 'Star Wars' legacy continues to inspire designers to create artistic, and awesomely geeky, sci-fi masterpieces. While it was considered (by some observers, at least) almost impossible to overshadow Justin Van Genderen's breathtaking minimalist tourism posters, Steve Bialik is sharing an assortment of awe-inspiring pieces. His amazing creations depict various 'Star Wars' characters and settings in the medium of Japanese art. [From: Geekosystem]
  • Everyone has that anal, infuriatingly organized friend who somehow maintains an immaculately arranged and labeled music library. For the rest of us, organizing years of collected songs and shows proves a daunting, seemingly impossible task. To help those library-lazy folks overcome their aversion to music tidying, the good people at Lifehacker have crafted a remarkably detailed how-to for "whipping your music's metadata into shape." Just don't expect them to do it for you, slacker. [From: Lifehacker]
  • The (computer) mouse can be a frustrating and painful contraption, particularly for those who have to constantly keep a hand on the little guy for work purposes. An abundance of products claims to alleviate those mouse related repetitive "surf" injuries, but a new gadget from Yanko will definitely prevent such hand and arm maladies, because you use it with your foot. While it certainly seems a little wacky, the Flip Flop Toe Mouse also serves an admirable and long overdue purpose, as it enables people with arm disabilities to overcome their mouse restrictions.
