It’s easy to use the Photoshop.com Mobile App on your iPhone. Simply drag your finger to crop, adjust color, apply effects—you name it.

Crop, rotate, change color with just a touch.
Give an extra glow with Soft Focus.
Get artsy with Sketch.
Apply one-touch effects like Warm Vintage and Vignette.

The tools are basic—you can crop, adjust exposure, saturation, and tint, among others, with some standard special effects like soft focus, colors and filters like “warm vintage” and pop—but using entirely swipe-based gestures as a virtual slider for how intensely or lightly the effect is applied is natural and easy.

The Nokia 6085 is a Series 40 handset which isnt supported out of the box for iSync. I found a simple bit of code will make it iSync.

(this worked with my Mac OSX 10.4.11)

Go to Applications/iSync, control click to ‘Show Folder Contents’ and follow this path:

Contents -> PlugIns -> ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice -> Contents -> PlugIns -> PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin -> Contents -> Resources.->metaclasses.plist

open the file in TextEdit andsearch for 6021 (Nokia 6021)

after the </dict > enter the following code:

Due to popular demand, SoundMeter has arrived to turn your iPhone into a handheld sound level meter (SLM). The iPhone’s built-in and headset microphones exhibit a remarkably flat frequency response, making them suitable for basic sound level measurements. However, due to sample rate limitations and frequency response degradation, SoundMeter is not recommended for use with the built-in microphone of first-generation iPhones.

Even though default sensitivity values are included for the iPhone’s built-in and headset microphones, for best results, SoundMeter should be calibrated before use. Sound levels may be off by 6 dB or more when using the default microphone sensitivity.

Note: SoundMeter has not been shown to meet ANSI or IEC standards for sound level meters.

FEATURES

• Measure time-weighted and equivalent sound levels.
• Employ Flat, A, or C frequency weighting.
• Time-weighted measurement options include Fast, Slow, and Impulse weightings.
• Keep track of peak and maximum sound levels.
• Save high-resolution sound level display images to the iPhone’s Camera Roll photo album. Descriptive text may be added to the image before it is saved.
• Calibration controls enable automatic calibration, relative to a calibrated sound level meter, or manual entry of the microphone sensitivity.
• SoundMeter supports rotating the iPhone upside down, so the built-in microphone sits on top of the device when measuring sound levels.
• With the iPhone’s built-in microphone, SoundMeter can measure peak sound levels of up to approximately 105 dB. With the iPhone’s included headset microphone, SoundMeter can measure peak sound levels of up to approximately 100 dB.
