Class action suit for those affected by Orwell fiasco
A 17-year-old high school student in the States is suing Amazon over its recent ill-advised remote deletion of two George Orwell titles from consumer’s Kindles.
Amazon sold consumers the books – 1984 and Animal Farm – but later pulled them when it realised there were copyright issues with those particular versions. The move caused an outcry in the US, and led to a public apology from Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, who described the hasty move as “stupid”.
However, for Justin D. Gawronski, the result was more than a question of improper access as the student had bought an e-copy of 1984 for a summer assignment and had made electronic notes against the ebook, all of which were lost when Amazon deleted the title.
The class action lawsuit could see others join up to seeks “injunctive relief” stopping Amazon from such action in the future, as well as asking for “monetary relief” for those who lost work as a result of Amazon’s actions.

What’s that you say? You’re looking for iPhone app recommendations alongside a smattering of the week’s Apple news? Read, on my friend, I have just the article for you…
Before I present you with my four recommendations, hand-picked from the freshest apps to launch for the iPhone, it’s time to take stock and review this week’s Apple news.
As if Monday couldn’t get any grimmer, the big news to start the week was all about Microsoft. Specs and other info about its new Zune, apparently code-named, “xYz,” have been doing the rounds. Perhaps presenting a genuine challenge to the iPhone and iPod touch handheld gaming throne, the device may even play XBox Live Arcade content. Very exciting indeed, considering the breadth and quality of games on offer via Microsoft’s online service.
Speaking of which, big surprise of the week is news that Braid, the top-rated, critically-acclaimed Xbox Live Arcade title, has been released on Mac. The game is a side-scrolling platformer, incorporating a host of head-ache inducing time-twisting time-twisting puzzles. Good fun indeed and a worthy workout for cerebral gamers on the hunt for a challenge.
Coming to the U.S. in the very near future is Spotify, the legal music service that’s essentially like having access to the entire iTunes Store for free. The service has already been on offer in Europe since late 2008, Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek, believes it’ll be officially available Stateside by the start of 2010 at the latest.
While the Spotify iPhone app is still under wraps, Digg.com founder Kevin Rose has been impressed by the desktop version, “… playing w/Spotify, hot damn it’s responsive – plays pretty much any song on earth in <1 second.” Being stationed in Helsinki, Finland, I’ve had the pleasure of using Spotify for several months now — it really is as fast as Rose describes.
My favorite news of the week concerns the latest update to the iPhone. More rumors abound, as a fresh list of specs has been released. Notable possible enhancements to the iPhone include 32GB of storage in the high-end model, built-in FM transmitter, OLED screen, rubber tread backing and discontinuation of the metal band surrounding the edge of the device.
Moving on to the picks, this week I’ve been looking at Mover, Burger King Now, Lexulous and Flashback.
Mover (free)
With Air Sharing (among others) firmly covering file-sending over the ‘net using the iPhone, there’s still no convincing solution for sharing with other users in your immediate vicinity. Those that are available are severely lacking in ease-of-use and appealing looks. Mover addresses both of these issues directly and, as such, is quite different from the solutions I’ve seen previously. Allowing you to share either contacts or images with other users on the same WiFi network, you simply select the name or photo you’d like to send, then literally drag it across to your friend’s device. As developer Infinite Labs state, seeing is believing, so, before you pick up the app for free, check out the demo video of the app in action.
Burger King Now: Phone Ordering (free)
Back in my student days, I lived off a hearty combination of Domino’s Pizza and McDonald’s. In fact, I accrued a sizable debt due to my adoration for fast food and apparent inability to cook. These days, I love to cook and, what’s more, meat isn’t really a part of my usual diet, saved instead for special occasions — like the meatballs at Ikea. Deep down, my junk food lust hasn’t left me: upon discovering Burger King’s new app, my mouth watered and my heart sank to think of all the glorious grease I’d be missing out on. This may not be as oddly compelling as BK’s Subservient Chicken, but it’s a time-saving app that uses your iPhone to order a tasty trans fat treat.
Lexulous ($3.99)
Up until yesterday, I was under the impression that Scrabble-clone Scrabulous had dissolved under threat of legal action from Hasbro. It seems however that the popular Facebook app has been reborn under the apparently less-libelous moniker of Lexulous. What’s more, the crossword gaming ante has been upped by the release of the Lexulous iPhone app. One of the joys of playing Lexulous via Facebook is challenging friends across the globe, something that both the official Scrabble iPhone and Facebook app don’t allow. With a solid iPhone app, Facebook integration and global challenges, Lexulous is a must-have for crossword game fans.
Flashback ($4.99)
Originally released for Amiga, back in the ‘92, Flashback will bring the memories flooding back for retro-gamers. The game featured Prince of Persia-esque rotoscoped animation, a sprawling alien-jungle and a plot reminiscent of Philip K. Dick’s writings. The iPhone version is pretty tough, especially so, given that the controls have been ported to the touch screen. Plus, I’m not entirely sure of the legitimacy of the iPhone iteration, the app may get pulled from the store — if you’re interested in trying out this classic platform adventure, download now.
That’s all the picks for this week. I’ll be back in seven days with more news from the week and picks from the App Store.
In the meantime, what apps have you been using this week?
The included Camera App on the iPhone is pretty much featureless: take a picture and you’re done. You must use the Photos app if you want to view or share (via MobileMe) your photos. What if you need more?
If you are a fan of LittleSnapper, which we have reviewed before, then the folks at Realmac Software have a very pleasant surprise for you. Coming very soon to the App Store, LittleSnapper for the iPhone will tantalize you with it’s rich feature set and high utility.
Realmac Software was kind enough to give us an exclusive preview of LittleSnapper for the iPhone. You won’t find this anywhere else, so please enjoy.
What Does it Do?
So what does this fantastic app do? First and foremost, it easily supplants the supplied iPhone camera app by providing a pretty broad set of features. Let’s iterate through the list:
- A fantastic interface with a very simple mechanism to scroll through LittleSnapper’s feature areas.
- Take photos with the ability to name, rate, tag and share the photo via the QuickSnapper service. You can optionally store the photos locally within the Photos app too.
- Share photos via your iPhone Twitter client, including support for Tweetie, Twitterific and TwitterFon.
- Like the desktop version of LittleSnapper, you can also capture an entire web-page for future editing.
Show Me the Money
So what does it look like? Let’s take a look.
LittleSnapper Home
The five main options here are:
- Photo Albums – Takes you to the iPhone Photos App. What is unique is that once you select a Photo, you then return to LittleSnapper where you can add Photo details (see below).
- Snap Webpage – Opens a built-in browser to capture a web page. Currently, due to WebKit limitations, only the screen is captured, as opposed to the full web page.
- Take A Photo – Self explanatory.
- Accounts – Where you can add/edit your QuickSnapper account(s).
- QuickSnapper – Closes the LittleSnapper App and opens Safari, taking you to the QuickSnapper home page.
Options Aplenty
Once you select the Take A Photo option, and after you have taken the photo, the following screen displays:
LittleSnapper Photo Details
From this screen, you can do the following:
- Give the photo a title
- Rate the photo – up to five stars
- Provide a description
- Tag the photo
- Specify the type of Photo – iPhone, Screenshot, Websnap and more
Tag It Baby!
For tagging photos, the UI is quite attractive. Let’s take a look at what you can do.
LittleSnapper Tag Details
If you already have tags from your QuickSnapper account, then they are displayed above the image and you can just press the tag to add it. Otherwise, type a new tag for this particular photo.
The Real Deal: Snapping Web Pages
Probably the key feature of the App, you can capture web pages with just a simple press of the screen. These pages are saved as screenshots for later editing.
LittleSnapper Web Page Capture
Ok I’m Sold, What’s the Damage?
When LittleSnapper arrives in the App Store (hopefully in the next week), it will come at a modest price of $2.99. For the rich functionality that you receive, this is quite a bargain. Although there are other photo capturing apps within the App store, for shear value, this is the app to get.
I Want More
For an initial offering, LittleSnapper for the iPhone is very impressive. However, I would love to see the ability to sync my captured images over Wi-Fi to the desktop version of LittleSnapper. Currently, I have to share the image to my QuickSnapper account, download the image to my desktop and then add it to my LittleSnapper library.
Maybe I missed this, but on the desktop version of LittleSnapper, you can share images to QuickSnapper, Flickr and an FTP site. With the version for the iPhone, you can only share images to your QuickSnapper account.
Still, these two nits are feature requests and I am sure the folks at Realmac Software are already hard at work on them (and other delightful features) for the next release. Until then, I’ll be pleasantly using LittleSnapper for my photo taking needs…
