Bought My First iPhone App Today

I crossed an iPhone milestone today and paid for my first iPhone app today. Up until now, I have used only free apps in addition to the default ones. But I encountered an issue that could be solved easily only by a $1.99 app. So I bought it. And I did it through iTunes on my desktop, rather than through the built-in App Store.

I have been experimenting with drafting my iPhone app reviews directly on the iPod Touch. The issue has been the extra steps involved moving screenshots from the Touch to the computer and then to the blog. Using WordPresses dedicated iPhone app, WordPress for iPhone, I can write a first draft of the post and attach a screenshot directly from the photo library. The problem is that there is no free way (that I can find) to rotate images on the iPhone. Screenshots taken in landscape mode end up sideways. iPhone: Photo Rotate does one and only one thing for $1.99. It rotates images. Problem solved.

iPhone: Photo Rotate is available on the iPhone or through the iTunes App Store. Read more iPhone accessibility reviews here.
