Do you want to use your iPhone as a Scanner?

This is the BEST scanner app for the iPhone. I have been using it since I had a iPhone 3 but with the iPhone 4S it is brilliant. I just found out by reading an article that you need to scan about 12-15" above the page with flash ON. The app sets the camera for contrast, distance, stabilization and the rest. 


After that you get to select the exact area to be processed, and an enhanced pic of your document is saved to the camera roll to be emailed, printed or whatever. If it sounds complicated, it's not, but it does take some practice. I liken this app to a portable photocopier, because when you use it properly with the high res camera and flash, you get almost the same results, and it cost on $2! Try it....you'll be astounded!

Playing MP3 music from your iPhone to a Car Radio

Many of us have MP3's on our iPhones, and would like to play them on our car radios whether they be music, training audios or similar. Some car's have the ability to dock with the iPhone but those are few, and connecting by a cable is not really a possibility.


The answer is actually quite simple. By using the base connector on the iPhone in combination with a small FM transmitter that plugs right in, you can play any MP3 wirelessly and it will be picked up by a pre-tuned frequency on your car radio. 


This device is available for less than $30 in Australia and works well. I have been using one for over a year. Click on this link to go to the suppliers website: FM Transmitter for iPhone
