Popular iOS mobile photo editing app Snapseed has finally made its way to Android.
Snapseed, the creation of 17-year-old Nik software, launched on iOS a little over a year ago. During the past year, the app has seen a whopping 9.5 million downloads and the company was acquired by Google.
“Before we released Snapseed we were primarily focused on [software for] professionals or advanced amateur photographers -– the folks that are buying digital SLRs,” Josh Haftel, product manager at Google, and previously Nik Software, told Mashable. “The application has been really successful for us.”
Twitter client Twitterrific has reached version five, and is now available for iOS devices
The app has been completely overhauled and redesigned. It now offers a very customizable user interface, giving user the ability to change the overall theme, as well as font, photo size, line spacing and other details
Other notable features include support for gestures, syncing of timeline positions between several devices via iCloud and super-fast account switching.
The app is not without its flaws, at least for power users, who will miss the lack of push notifications, profile editing and list management. Its speed and design, however, will definitely appeal to many users looking for an alternative to the official Twitter client

Like a small safe in your pocket or purse, Zippo's wallet encased in stainless steel prevents RFID-using criminals from swiping your credit card information
The new Zippo wallet's stainless steel outer shell not only gives the wallet a sleek look but also blocks radio frequency identification with its RF shield.

Concerns over the potential threats of RFID have grown as awareness about how many products contains RFID tags has increased. RFID tags can be found in medications, clothing, and other goods to track them throughout the manufacturing process
With more and more of us using the camera on our ever-present smartphone to document our lives, we sometimes settle for pictures or videos that don't quite do the moment justice. That might be OK if you're taking a quick shot to share via Twitter or Instagram, but what if you're skiing down the Matterhorn in Zermatt? That's an action shot or video you want to make sure you can capture and share -- without ruining your phone, of course.
Mophie, known mainly for those Juice Pack extended battery cases for iPhone, is out with an add-on case that turns your iPhone into a rugged waterproof video camera
Last year around this time, we cringed and laughed until we cried at the embarrassing collection of auto-correct text messages sent to friends and loved ones throughout the year. You'd think we would have learned our lesson to double check each and every word by now

The G-Shock Bluetooth Low Energy Smart Watch also includes notifications for basic things like calendar alerts, weather and stock -- although you may have to squint to see them on the tiny screen. You can silence all of these vibrating notifications by simply double-tapping the watch's screen
Glassblowing has made its way to the iPhone in the form of a new app called Chihuly.
A celebration of the work of artist Dale Chihuly, the app makes glassblowing digital, allowing users to blow into their phones to create their own virtual masterpieces.
“Chihuly has done for glass art what Fabergé did for decorative art — push the boundaries of a medium beyond what people thought possible,” Joe Alexander, chief creative officer of The Martin Agency said in a statement. “We thought mobile technology was a perfect way to bring his achievement to life for people outside the museum’s traditional audience.”
Apps are now a multi-billion dollar industry, but the market is largely dominated by just a couple of dozen developers, most of which are big companies.
Half of the revenue generated from Google Play and Apple's App Store in the U.S. went to just 25 developers, according to a new estimate from Canalys based on an analysis of paid downloads and in-app purchases from the two app stores during the first 20 days of November.
All but one of the 25 developers were gaming companies, including Zynga, Electronic Arts, Disney and, of course, Rovio, which isn't too surprising given how many app titles each of these companies offer. The lone exception among the top 25 was Pandora.
A researcher blew the whistle on a possible hole in Twitter's security this week when he publicly posted about a way hackers could take control of a user's account via SMS text message. Twitter has since responded, saying any vulnerabilities were patched months ago.
The news that Twitter accounts could be spoofed by SMS spread quickly after self-described security consultant Jonathan Rudenberg wrote a blog post explaining the issue. It's easy to send a text message from a fraudulent originating number, he says, allowing anyone who knows your phone number to post to Twitter on your behalf -- and even modify account info -- as long as you have tweeting via text message set up. Although Twitter allows users to set up PIN, that feature isn't available in the U.S.
