Apple has released its new iPhoto application for the iOS earlier this month after the introduction of the new third-generation iPad in the public at the announcement event. The iPhoto for iOS application is lands in the App Store for $4.99 and available to download for the iPhone and iPad devices. It is now reported that Apple’s iPhoto has just reached the 1 million users in the 10 days, with the exclusive hype of the next generation iPad 3 support and graphics for the older gen devices. iPhoto for iOS is seems to be especially designed by Apple to kick out the third-party apps from the App Store and start a competition over their App Store for the best photo-editing application on the App Store for the iOS devices.

It is reported by Loop Insight today that the Apple’s new iPhoto for iOS application has just hit the 1 million users in the first 10 days from its launch. In short, Apple has just made around $4,990,000 with its iPhoto for iOS application in the ten days from its App Store, and as well as is getting the application the hottest application of the App Store at the moment. While, on the other hand, the iPad 3 users are already spending their most of time on the App Store in the search for best applications and games for the iPad.

However, the iPhoto for iOS comes earlier this March, and as well as carries a little restriction over the jailbroken users, as Apple set its minimum OS requirement to iOS 5.1, but still it appears that a large number of users ditched their jailbroken status for the iPhoto for iOS and joined the Apple’s party on the iOS 5.1. iPhoto for iOS is a great application and runs perfectly on both iPad and iPhone, and provides the great multi-touch interface to users for browsing, editing, and sharing photos from your iOS devices.

A wide number of users had been already using the free applications on the iOS devices, especially few popular iOS games and applications that are equipped with in-app advertisements using the Apple’s and Google advance advertising on the different users iOS devices. It is reported that most of the free applications act like an energy hog on your devices, and eat up to 70% of your device energy battery life while using the applications that are connected with the internet to bring new ads randomly after every refresh of the page or window.

An interesting fact comes into knowledge by a team led by Abhinav Pathak, a computer boffin at Purdue University, Indiana, the team discovers that free applications with the large number of advertisements on your device eat more than 65%-75% battery life of your device, in the easy words, the team claims the free apps like Angry Birds, and Facebook may actually cost you more than their actual price in the App Store. It is reported that around a large number of free applications come with in-app advertisements on the iOS devices to seed their developers with advertisement earnings, and leaving the App Store earning at the side.

The researchers over the team have tested the same tests with other platforms as well, including the Android and Windows Mobile, and found out that the same problems apply on the iOS devices. According to the team, the problem actually arises when an app actually switches the GPS chip on your device, or asks the device to access the SD card slots to access the data over the external cards.

However, the Apple’s iPhone equipped with pretty greater battery life for the smartphones, but still the researchers quoted that most of the free applications that actually access the advertisements eat battery life of the device, and costs more than itself. The research team claims that some applications available in the App Store can easily drain your whole iPhone battery life in just 90 minutes, so next time before going to install the free app on your device must think about it.

While there are hundreds of different applications are available in the App Store to bring the mouse / trackpad functionality to your iOS device for the Mac or Windows Workstation. A wide range of applications available there to work with your devices over the Wi-Fi network using the advance network protocols to allow you remotely control your computer workstation through your iOS devices. However, at the moment there are very fewer amounts of applications available in the App Store with gorgeous new Retina display graphics for the new iPad, and especially with this kind of feature on latest iPad.

While RPA Technology quickly takes the advantage of less Retina-enabled apps in the App Store, and quickly updates its application with new Retina-enabled images for the new-generation iPad. Mobile Mouse app is now available in the App Store with version 2.1. With the new Retina display graphics, and new UI layout to the application, you can easily turn your iPad into oversized multi-touch trackpad and remote control mouse for your Windows & Mac workstation. The best feature of the application is it connects over the Wi-Fi network, and allows you to widely control your device without any kind of bug in the control to your workstation device.

This kind of applications works well, and needed when you have to connect your device to a projector or greater screen to share some kind of visual content to the other folks. Normally, I use this kind of applications when I have to connect my device with Plasma TV to watch movies on the larger screen, and to avoid buggy wireless mouse connections to my device. Mobile Mouse like applications helps a lot to control your device remotely. There are the numbers of new features that the new Mobile Mouse app carries along Retina-enabled images:

- File Browser
– Programmable hotkeys (can be set to run a program or keyboard combination)
– Scroll pad
– Left and Right mouse buttons

When you download the iPad version ($2.99), or the iPhone version ($1.99), all you need to do is obtain the free supplementary Mobile Mouse Server application for Mac, PC, or Linux.
