Realmac Software has just announced that its incredibly pretty photography app, LittleSnapper [App Store], is free for a limited time! The app, for those who don't know, allows you to take and share photos on Realmac's design-focused QuickSnapper service. Additionally, LittleSnapper allows you to snap images of entire web pages rendered on your iPhone. LittleSnapper previously sold for $2.99, so we definitely recommend that you snap it up (I'm so clever) while it's free!

Snap 'n Tap [App Store, $2.99] lets you interact with elements drawn on paper using a virtual, physics-enabled marble. Put simply, you can draw a maze on paper, snap a photo of it, and guide a virtual marble through it from start to finish. The size of the marble can be adjusted and the app even works with lined paper.

After several minutes of playing with the app, I must say I'm impressed. It's not developed enough to be a game, but that's not the developer's purpose. The ability to have virtual objects interact with hand-drawn elements is just so cool. During one test I used a piece of paper with a coffee stain on it and the ball bumped into the stain. Awesome!

Apple does a reasonably good job at making the iPhone feature-rich, but every so often there's an app that adds a feature that really should have been built in to begin with. That's the case with Kenditech's Camera Zoom. The name says it all with this app. It serves as an alternative to the built-in camera app, but with the addition of a slider that lets you zoom in, making pictures of things far away just a little bit nicer. It's only digital zoom, so it gets pretty grainy as you zoom further in, but it's better than nothing, especially at this price. You can get it in the App Store for $0.99.
