Connected Flow founder Fraser Speirs talks about the first version of his first iPhone app, Exposure, how it delivers “2 billion photos, in your pocket,” and the many ways it lets you interact with the online photo-sharing site, Flickr. Fraser discusses why upload wasn’t included in the first version of Exposure, why it will probably be in the second, and how he sees the iPhone as a communication device, not just a phone. Suggestions for the iPhone App Store, the effects comments have had on his thinking, and a balanced evaluation of a possible Mac App Store are all included in our conversation with Fraser.

Ben discusses the rich set of capabilities of NetSketch, including the ability to zoom in and out with no loss of quality, a canvas that goes far beyond the device screen, and the extensive collaboration features that turn the program into something much more than just a place to draw. Your creations aren’t trapped on the device; by using their web service, NetSketch images can be exported as either EPS or JPEG files to be further edited on the desktop. Ben and Jon also discuss Ben’s experiences as a first-time developer on a first-time platform, the challenges they faced in beta-testing the program, and more.

In the market for a new digital camera? Larry Chen, the author of Take Control of Buying A Digital Camera helps make sense of the “superzoom” class of cameras. Characterized by powerful optical zoom lenses and high megapixel images, superzoom cameras appear to bridge the gap between consumer cameras and digital SLRs…or do they? Larry explains what superzoom cameras offer and who should consider buying them. The importance of image stabilization, whether face detection features are worth the money, and why lighting considerations are even more important for superzooms are all reviewed. Larry provides some specific camera recommendations and make sense of all the specifications to help you pick the right super zoom for your needs.

Nancy Conner, the author of Google Apps: The Missing Manual from O’Reilly/Pogue Press, delivers some thoughts on the subject in a look at the software-as-service offerings from Google. Nancy discusses why security isn’t the concern it might be, what is and isn’t missing in the word processing and presentation offerings (for now), and where the online utilities outshine their desktop counterparts. The power of having your productivity applications connected to the web, the sharing and collaboration options and how word-of-mouth is contributing to the spread of Google Apps are all part of why you should take a look at this option for your home or office activities.
