The Kogeto Dot isn’t necessarily new. We spotted it back at TechCrunch Disrupt New York and found it to be quite the fun little iPhone accessory, but back then it was merely a prototype. Today, we’ve gotten our hands on the real deal and I have to say, I’ve had a pretty good time playing around with this little guy. Along with the accessory itself, you’ll also need the Looker iPhone app to shoot, de-warp and upload your videos. You see, since Dot shoots in panoramic mode, the video looks kind of like a...

"I do believe this will change the world," Ed Leonard, the CTO of DreamWorks said to his colleagues about a year ago. He's talking about "living media," an idea he's been stewing over for some time: photo and video content that friends can grab and remix and repost as they please. One year later, Leonard is no longer CTO of DreamWorks, but that doesn't mean he's left the company's office complex in California. Leonard asked for one of the building's old storage rooms to get a startup off the ground and...

Google has released an all-new YouTube app for the iPhone and iPod touch, which it said it was working on last month when Apple revealed it was removing it from iOS 6. The new app is completely native, and in our brief time with it we found it to be fast and responsive. It uses the same design language as the Google+ app on iOS, and like that app it's quite good at loading up reams of new content quickly....

A lot of the redesign is borrowed from the Android version, which saw a big update back in August....

The more things change, the more they stay the same. It’s 2013, over 20 years since Adobe first released Photoshop for the Macintosh, and here I am writing about a simple, yet seductive, photo editing app. Repix, available for iOS, lets you “remix” photos by painting various effects over the original image, akin to functionality offered by numerous Photoshop plugins over the years. It debuted in…

Enter SpeakingPhoto, a new iPhone app that lets you add sound to any photo, allowing you tell a story along with the image before you share it with friends on Facebook or via email. Finished photo/videos can also be shared on YouTube.

Rando only launched in March but the anti-social photo-sharing app that deliberately eschews the standard social network clutter of likes and comments and connections — simply letting users share random photos with random strangers and get random snaps in return — has blasted past 5M photo shares after a little over two months in the wild. It is now averaging around 200,000 shares per day.
