Retro Camera App for Android

The iPhone guys at work have been talking about a retro camera app for their phones, so I’ve decided to look at what’s available for the Android platform.
The first one I’ve checked out is Retro Camera
The free ad supported version gives you five retro camera types to play with, see example shots below. The application is a fairly chunky 6179 kb but can be moved to the SD card. It has a novel interface which replicates the retro camera but this reduces the viewfinder size which can be a problem.

Walked the dog around the sights of Ripon, he was more interested in the ducks than anything else.
Dissapointed Ducks, no bread.

Applications
Having more fun with apps, couple of my current time wasters are,
A collaborative, evolutionary-drawing app, the hook is that you can upload your doodles to the web and other people modify them. Some examples can be seen on their website at http://superfiretruck.com/sketchabit/ surprisingly you don’t see too many “adult” doodles.
Fractoid
Generates fractal images. Pinch zooming works well on the HTC Desire and the 1GHz snapdragon renders the images at an acceptable speed. Examples of the image can be seen on this Flickr group
Simple but addictive tilt control game
Problems
Couple of issues I’ve noticed with the phone, battery life, with everything turned on (wifi, gps, etc) I seem to be getting around a days use out of the battery when I’m using apps a lot. Take a bit of getting used to since my old phone used to last a couple of days, guess price you pay.
The SD Card becomes unusable, this seems to be a common issue with the HTC Desire, a co-worker has the same problem and its mentioned around the web a lot.
A simple reboot of the phone brings it back to life, according to HTC I should back up the data and reformat the SD card to solve the problem, not tried it yet.
I got round to installing the Android SDK and went through the classic “Hello World” app tutorial, step one done :)
1. Install Android SDK
2. Write Killer app
3. Profit!!!

Life with an HTC Desire part 2
Time rolls on and I’m getting used to finding my way around my HTC Desire.
I’m still trying out lots of apps, for this site http://www.appbrain.com which helps you keep track of the apps you’ve got on your phone. You download an app for your phone and it syncs your apps to the website, suggests other apps you might like etc. Useful so far.
Here is what I’ve got on my phone at the moment

On Tuesday of this week I upgraded my mobile phone to an Android handset. After a long drawn out process of reading reviews and getting peoples advice from Twitter etc I finally decided on an HTC Desire.
I am amazed with the phone and have hardly been able to drag myself away from the handset.
Thing I like the most is the seamless integration with my Google accounts for email, contacts and calendar syncing. I think it is going to make me much more organized.
I’ve been busy trying out application since I got the phone and here are is a list of the ones I’ve found useful so far.
Aldiko is an ebook reading application that runs on any Android phone and which enables you to easily download and read thousands of books right on your smartphone.
Scan barcodes on CDs, books, and other products, then look up prices and reviews, or search for a word in a book and find where it occurs. You can also scan QR Codes containing URLs, contact info, calendar events, and more
The only battery application that tells you how much time is left on your battery.
