Steam Up Your iPhotos with iSteam
6:30 pm, January 2nd, 2009, Lonnie Lazar

Add a new layer of creativity to the things you can do with your iPhone and your photos – with iSteam, a cool new app from UK developer consortium, Great Apps. iSteam uses features of the iPhone and iPod Touch including the accelerometer, multitouch, microphone and speakers to turn the touch screen into something resembling your bathrooom mirror after a hot shower, or a window on a winter day.
Blow on the microphone to “fog up” the surface of the phone (iPod Touch users need an external mic) and use your fingers to write messages and draw, just like you would on a steamy window. Realistic water droplets form on the image and leave trail marks that can be manipulated by tilting the device; shake it up to clear the screen and start over. iSteam even has finger squeaking sounds included.
Images can be saved to the Camera Roll using the screen capture method (hold the Home key & press the lock button) or emailed to iPhone and iPod Touch owning contacts directly from iSteam.

Blow off Some Steam with Your iPod, on January 3rd, 2009 at 4:24 pm
Dear Lonnie,
This is Barak Ben-Ezer from Apparty, authors of the original fog application for the iPhone – iFog. I feel that it is unfair that our application wasn’t covered in the same post as it is the original fog application – released a week prior to iSteam – and offers more features and better executed. We have the secret message feature, where you write something on the screen and nothing is visible until you blow air and fog covers the screen, beside the message part.
Thanks,
barak.

iSteam is definitely a cool app. I’m an iPhone Application Developer myself, but I must say I’m impressed.
