This has to be one of the coolest app's for cell phones, This free app allows you to use your phone to view the street your looking at, the phone apprantly looks for a photo of what your looking at and overlays it so you can see what it was like 20, 50 even 100 years ago. More in the link below

No way!!! :shocked04:stretcher: lol Yes, I suppose that's true. I am about ready to hurl my iphone into the nearest lake, actually.

It sounds like a great app. Will be interested to hear reports on how well it works. :yes:

I was about to make a trip for a new guitar tuner. I just happened to check the android apps for one as the ones i have tried before were junk. Turns out this new one with a 4 1/2 star rating is very cool and very accurate. It tunes sharps and flats and saved me at leat $60 between gas money and the price of a new tuner. Plus it didn't take 2 hrs out of my day to have to go get it. That app alone has almost paid the phone bill this month in what it saved me. It really is a cool phone.
