I haven’t downloaded any new apps in a while. I feel like I had everything I needed… until I recently discovered these. Completely unrelated to each other, but very cool.

#1. Photoshop Mobile

I have been using camera bag, but you have to stick with the 5 or 6 filters they have and if you simply want to brighten an image you are out of luck. Unless of course you apply an entire filter to it that may brighten it, but then you are stuck with the rest of the effects that come on the filter.  So in my search this morning for simple app’s that edit iPhone photos I found Photoshop’s free app.  It is ridiculously simple, ridiculously clean, ridiculously well designed.

I remember hearing about Photoshop’s launch of their online photo accounts and stuff, so this app is tied to all of that.  I am not sure if I will use it, probably not, but you can upload and share photos with a free account if you wanted to.  But yeah besides that this is a sweet stand alone app.

#2. Meebo

So, from what I understand (I should probably fact check more often) meebo has been a chat client for some time now, cept not like a normal download and install client. They had some sort of web based thing going on.  I don’t know why but I was never interested in that.  I always close my browsing windows, out of habbit, so I guess I was afraid I would always be closing out my chat… or something. Whatever, it doesn’t matter… what matters is they just released a chat app for the iPhone that is AMAZING. I have been using a crappy app called IM + and it never worked right, and was clunky, and ugly, and not free. Meebo is the oppisite of that, PLUS you can run it in the background, so you can be signed in and online and be using other apps and it will notify you if someone sends you a message.  It is pretty brillant, and fun, supports a bunch of different networks, and is free… so yeah I am pretty stoked on it for sure.
