Does anyone know if you can get personalized disney ear hats at any park besides Magic Kingdom?

not really a 'park' but last I noticed, the Christmas Shop (or was it next door) did personalized ears and other hats. - monorailmedic

Sweet, thanks! I think we're gonna hit up DHS tomorrow. - Adam Weeks

Camera+ has been pulled from the app store due to violating developer agreement by putting in the volume controls. No big surprise, but still sad if you didn't get the app before it left. Can't wait to hear Leo and crew talk about this one.

Severe, yet, expected. I like Camera+ even more now, awesome that they had the guts to try. - Jon Grant

Yea, putting in little "easter eggs" without telling apple is a great way to get your app pulled! Hopefully they can work out a way with apple to actually get the volume controls to work. - Adam Weeks

I was sad to see it go. Thankfully i was able to get it before it disappeared. - Anthony Yacullo

For all you Camera+ users out there, you can now hack it to use the volume controls to take a picture. Details at http://i.tuaw.com/2010...

Thanks for the tip Chad! Just did it and it works great! Did you see that they've made over $500,000 in two months with that app!?! - Adam Weeks

Beta....potter? I'll be at Universal Orlando a week from today. Any Betamousers have any techy stuff they're wondering about?

Tech? Everyone knows muggle tech doesn't work in the Potterverse! (I kept expecting Hermione to scream "Enough of these bloody quills. Somebody give be a ballpoint pen!") - dd_indy

@dd_indy How cool would a Hogwarts-themed foursquare badge be? - Hedy

That would be cool, but there may be licensing issues. "Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus" - dd_indy

I hear they are using some pretty awesome hologram technology in the new ride. Let us know what that is all about. - Jon Grant

The only thing I know about the Potter park is from, well, Betamouse. Would love to hear about the new ride. - Adam Weeks

There's a video showing highlights of the Forbidden Journey queue at http://wizardingworldpark.com - dd_indy

For those of you that haven't seen my tweets. You need to check out the Camera+ app for the iphone. This is an amazing app. You can check out everything it does at www.taptaptap.com

I hate to say it, but I seem to be liking Camera+ much more than Hipstamatic. I like that I can inport photos I have already taken. Also I like that you mess around with the filters/settings after the photo is taken. With Hipstamatic I always felt like it was more of a struggle to get the perfect picture. Hipstamatic isn't bad but I guess Camera+ works better for my style. - Stacy - SteakersH

Goodbye $1.99! Purchased! - Adam Weeks

TapTapTap consulted with Lisa Bettany when developing this app... she is a phenomenal photographer. I've given up on the Verizon iPhone... what I'm wishing for now is an iPod Touch with a camera so I can start using this app. - Jon Grant

Jon, I just gave up on the verizon iphone and bought the 4 when it came out. I do far more apps than actually talk on the phone so its no big deal to me! - Adam Weeks

If there was ever a chance that I would go to AT&T, it is long gone... I use more than 2gb of data a month. If I ever own an iPhone, it will have to be through someone besides AT&T. But that's beside the point... Camera+ is a phenomenal app. - Jon Grant

Wow Jeff, thanks so much for recommending Camera+! I've been telling everyone to download it! - Adam Weeks

Camera+ has replaced the standard Camera app on my home screen; it's that good (the Camera is still in my photography folder for video). The big difference between it and Hipstamatic is that you have to make a decision that you want to shoot Hipstamatic style shots before you even take a picture. Camera+ on the other hand lets you add filters and such after shooting. Hipstamatic is fun but more of a "toy" app than Camera+. - Scott Oliver

Well said Scott! - Stacy - SteakersH

Taptaptap released a new video about Camera+ yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch... ...the girl in the video is the photographer that taptaptap consulted with to develop the app. Amazing app, I want it so bad! iPod Touch + camera plz! - Jon Grant

So what are people's favorite android apps? I have been android for almost a year and I am just curious what other people are using....I know I am contaminating the feed with non-iPhone talk. (Droid X)

What is this "android" you speak of? Is it a special case for an iPhone or something? :) - Adam Weeks

I think this "android" is in stead of bumpers for service problems on i4 ;-) - Jill Laperle

Ah, ok. Thanks for clarifying! - Adam Weeks

Dropbox, Evernote, Fandango, Cherry Rplayer, Pandora, SleepTimer, Speed Test, Ustream Broadcaster/Viewer, XiiaLive Lite, Vignette, official Twitter & Facebook app. Seesmic is also great for Twitter. OH, AND WDW LINES. - Jon Grant

I love Android. Just making that clear again. - Nate Parrish

My number one most used app is Twidroyd for Twitter. The other ones I use the most are Agenda Widget, which I love, Foursquare, KTodo (to do list widget), List Master (other lists, no widget), Countdown Widget (countdown for my Disney trips!), Battery Left (battery widget), and Advanced Task Killer to kill random apps that are running. - Amanda (amandaenchanted)

Other cool apps: picplz lets you post a picture to Twitter and Foursquare, Solitaire is my favorite game, TripIt, Movies, and, of course, Lines! - Amanda (amandaenchanted)

Wow I am loving all the droid peeps. Check out my app list from app brain http://www.appbrain.com/user... - Jill Laperle

I encourage testing other Twitter apps from time to time... I was using Twidroyd, but then on a whim tried out the official Twitter app. I instantly changed, since the Twitter app displays a preview thumbnail of linked images hosted on twitpic and yfrog. Just checked Seesmic, looks like they do the same thing for twitpic, yfrog and tweetphoto. Also, Seesmic is perfect for people with multiple twitter accounts. - Jon Grant

The thing with the official Twitter app is that you can't retweet with a comment. And Seesmic doesn't autocomplete usernames when you type @. - Amanda (amandaenchanted)

Found using this chart: http://androinica-serve.s3.ama... - Amanda (amandaenchanted)

OH and AutoDeleteSMS, which you can set to delete texts that are over a certain amount of days old. - Amanda (amandaenchanted)

I use Google Listen for podcasts and Meridian for playing media, I was using swift but I've switched over to the official twitter app. Lines (of course). I also really like Google Sky Map. - George Turner

Does anyone like Swift for Android? I liked that app - Nate Parrish

Nate I like Swift quite a bit but the official Twitter app is a bit better The preview of linked pix was the big draw. - George Turner

I prefer twydroid pro, mainly because a)I can make it a screen on Sense and b)I can have both my Disney and normal twitter id's on one - Hedy

Anyone have a favorite Disney related ipod touch or iphone game?

i like toy story mania. - Cliff Wu

Toy Story Mania is decent, but no where near the fun of the actual ride. - Adam Weeks

The ones I've played haven't been very impressive. Maybe this is why they acquired Tapulous. - Scott Oliver

i don't think anything can compare with the real tsmm. even the highly touted wii version isn't as good as the theme parks'. - Cliff Wu from BuddyFeed

I like the new TRON Legacy game... which, by the way, is free - Lou Mongello

Thanks Lou, I'll check that one out. - Nate Parrish

Oh, so I have a quesiton for the show. Is there an iPhone app that will allow me to store and view .PDF files? Other than emailing them to myself and just keeping the emails

I think you can do that through iBooks? - Alex Mace

I think Dropbox? - Amanda (amandaenchanted)

I have one called Goodreader. there's a free version that lets you have a limited number of PDF files, and then a paid one of you need more. I used it a little bit when in Europe so didn't have cell/Internet and it worked pretty well. Didn't do a lot with it but it served it's purpose. - Kate L from BuddyFeed

Awesome. Thanks everyone for the help! I'll see what I can do here - Jay G.

i use dropbox. - Cliff Wu

I'm fairly sure you can do this with the iDisk app if you're a MobileMe subscriber. - Andrew C. Poole

I have used air sharing. It allows you to move documents around over wifi, has options to set up secure login. Don't remember the cost, but I have used it for pdf files in the past. - Eric

Didn't even know about the Dropbox iPhone app! Just installed and it works great! - Adam Weeks
