Brighten your iPhone photos instantly with iFlashReady!

By adding a software-based flash to the iPhone camera, iFlashReady helps you overcome the iPhone’s lack of a build-in camera flash.

================================
A kind note for users.

The difference between iFlashReady and other Flash apps in the store, and why we are the best Flash app in the store:

1. We are the FIRST one in app store to provide Flash app, any other app makers just purely copy our idea and our app design, and even use similar names.

2. Most users choose to buy our app, but not other flash apps. Our user number is the biggest in the app store among all of the flash apps. Our user number is at least 10 times than any other flash app.

3. More important. iFlashReady is based on an innovative technology that intelligently lightened up each pixel to an individually differentiated level. Even if the entire photo is lightened up, the details in highlight are not blown out. While almost other flash apps just copy iFlashReady idea and (even use similar names) and only do some kind of very simple global methods to increase the brightness of the photos at the cost of making the photos lack of contrast and show a wash-out appearance, which makes most of the photos useless.
================================
We strongly recommend you do a hard reset if you are experiencing any crashes.
================================

The local method in iFlashReady is usually more effective than global methods such as levels, curves, fill light, shadow/highlight adjustments, or exposure adjustments.

Without a flash, the iPhone camera often takes under-exposed and low-contrast pictures when lighting is poor. iFlashReady is a one-of-a-kind software specifically designed to enhance the photos taken by the iPhone camera by reproducing the effect of a camera flash. With a click of a button, you can add low, medium, or high levels of fill-in flash effect to reveal details in the dark regions, or light up the entire photo to improve brightness, contrast, and color.

iFlashReady can also enhance photos imported by iTunes on iPod Touch or iPhone.

iFlashReady is based on an innovative algorithm that intelligently lightens up each pixel to an individually differentiated level. Even if the entire photo is lightened up, the details in highlights are not blown out. The internal parameters are specially configured for the iPhone camera.

Final_render-4CCCCLThe Case That Shines

quirky’s Beamer is an iphone case with a built in light. This light can dual function as a flash for your iphone’s camera as well as a light for use whenever you see fit – Dropped something under the table at dinner? Need a flashlight for your car? Squinting to read a menu in candlelight? Taking a picture in the dark? Beamer is the case that shines!

Beamer is a hard, durable plastic case with a friction-fit, 2 piece design. Beamer’s base slides out for quick insertion of your iphone. Turning on the light is easy. Simply press the silicone button once and the light will remain on for 10 seconds – leaving you with enough time to snap your picture. Pressing the button twice in a row will leave the light on indefinitely until you are ready to turn it off – to do so, just press the button a 3rd time.

Beamer’s super bright LED is powered by its own battery (residing on the inside of the case) so it does not drain any of your iphone’s battery. And not to worry, the button is set in a groove to avoid being accidentally turned on when in your pocket thus keeping the battery alive as long as possible.

You can choose from one of quirky’s funky case colors. With the Beamer, all you iPhone-ers out there need not feel jealous of your Blackberry-ing friends. Now you too can have stellar phone pictures.

NOTE: Beamer will use replaceable Lithium coin cell batteries for an estimated life of about 10 hours of super bright illumination. Beamer is compatible for iPhone 3G and 3GS
