WhatTheFont for iPhone takes font identification on the road

whatthefont 20090211 195341 WhatTheFont for iPhone takes font identification on the roadI have a bit of a sickness when it comes to fonts: if I see one I like that I’ve never seen before, I have to identify it and, often times, buy it. I can’t control it. Sometimes the obsession prevents me from enjoying my favorite shows.

Well, thanks to MyFonts.com, I can now employ my iPhone to further my habit. Their new iPhone app, WhatTheFont for iPhone, allows me to take a picture of the font in question with the iPhone’s built-in camera. After cropping the image to just the part I want identified, the software uploads the sample to MyFonts.com where it is analyzed. It asks me to verify and identify the letters shown in the sample I photographed. Then it comes back several suggestions as to what font I was looking for. It’s like a magic trick for font maniacs: pick a font, any font…

WhatTheFont for iPhone is free to download from the iTunes App Store.

Koi Pond iPhone app offers ”Holiday Mode”

IMG 0005 20081121 174427 Koi Pond iPhone app offers Holiday ModeKoi Pond is a cute little inexpensive iPhone/iPod touch app that invites you to gaze in and relax while watching playful koi fish swim. You can run your fingers over the surface of the water to hear the gentle splashing…but don’t be surprised if you scare the fish away. Don’t worry though; they’ll be back and you can even feed them from your fingertips.

In the latest update pushed to Koi Pond users, a Holiday Mode was added that features 2 new Holiday koi, holly leaves, festive lights, special holiday koi food (please do not feed gingerbread men and candy canes to real koi) and when you shake your iPhone, you’ll hear sleigh bells.

Koi Pond sells for $0.99.
