@Milind – I developed the app:

The reason we cant snap the full web page is that the iPhone hardware can’t hack it. I actually devised a way for it to snap full web pages and it works fine in the iPhone simulator but crashes on the device.

I will be writing up a blog post with a more in-depth explanation at a later time. But full page snaps is something we _really_ want on the iPhone app.

@Erik I agree that the iPhone’s camera is weak, but it depends on what you’re using it for.

I use my iPhone’s camera as a quick “visual reminder” and archiving tool – camera setups, location snaps, set details, stuff for my general idea archive.

The iPhone’s camera is now my defacto Polaroid. So if used in this way LittleSnapper is awesome for that use. Especially since the tagging and annotating in LittleSnapper rocked. I don’t think it’s meant as a Lightroom, Aperture or iPhoto replacement.

That being said, desktop sync and use of Ftp is a must here… I’ll wait for that.

I agree with Erik. Tagging and organising screenshots on the iPhone is just plain sick. Would never do it.

@Milind – The camera does not have tap anywhere to click. It has buttons similar to Apple’s. I also agree about the desktop sync – my guess is the next major rev.

It sounds like a nice app, but here is the problem, as I see it. (and it has nothing to do with the software). Is anyone really excited about sharing and tagging the images that come from the iPhone? Personally, I’d be embarrassed (and I’m a pretty good photographer).

I can see some value in this for screen capture and when the iPhone has a better camera, maybe. Then again, anything that can help the photo-side of the iPhone is a good thing!

Hows the camera app? Does it have a tap anywhere to click feature? Also, why can’t LS stitch a full web page by snapping different areas?

Desktop sync IMO is the most important feature they’ve missed. If I review an iPhone app, I would want all those screenshots to go over to my desktop. Hopefully they will add that in the future.

I’m (almost) sold.
