We have done a few posts recently about some great new free media Apps for our iPhone - including video and audio apps.

In this post we introduce this just-released free App that allows us to quickly and easily post pics from our iPhone to Twitter - called, appropriately enough, Twitpic.All that we need to do is:

“1. select an image or take a picture
2. upload to twitpic
3. enter twitter message”

Three taps - done! Get it!

To celebrate the Comic Con event, the iPhonegizmo team went looking for free comic downloads for iPhones. We revisited a previous post about free comics for iPhone download and got a great lead for 35 more free comics - some as big as 35 pages!

These freebies are available from  Comixology - a site that has specialized in providing comics for delivery on our iphones. Some of the comics that are included on the 35-for-freebie list are: Superman, Batman Black and White, Wanted, and Box 13 plus another 31 free comics are up for grabs.

There are several Free iPhone apps for Marvel, DC Comics,  and quite a few others. Marvel offer a half dozen free comics but  have not really put much effort into optimizing them for the iPhone platform. At least the one we downloaded (Ultimate Ironman II) whilst beautifully illustrated was not easy to read on the iPhone, with repeated - slow loading - need for us to switch from the vertical to the horizontal screen and no apparent effort to make the words legible!

In complete contrast, the free DC Comic downloads were excellent. There were more than a dozen and they were very easy to read on the iPhone.

So guys - if you are a comic fan - go check out the free comic apps and grab yourself some free comic downloads.

We are impressed with this free App from dw-c, that turns our iPhone into a video camera. It takes a maximum of 15 sec of video - but for most purposes that is enough as it means we can do a quick shot and then “share” to our facebook, Twitter, YouTube or (as we did) by email.

For bloggers out there, we sent this to our (again free) PixelPipe account which then posted it (below) to the iPhonegizmo blog (but we could have sent it to Facebook, Twitter or a whole host of other destinations so don’t feel you can’t sign up just because you don’t blog!) . Could not have been easier! And all free.

The clip is an excerpt from the YouTube video: “Funny hippo dance remix”  Oh, and iCamcorder can be used on an  iPhone 2g or 3g. We just aimed the iPhone at the computer screen and hit record! Pretty good - which means that we  can also send interesting snippets to our friends of any videos we see while we are surfing the web. Go check it out.

The iPhonegizmo team get all excited when they find another free iPhone download that is designed to work on user-juice! Waze is one of these apps - and is also currently offering users a fun way to get an iPad as well!

Waze is running a competition along side the world cup fanfare. All you have to do is compete in the “International Waze Worldcup”  for a chance to win a new iPad! The way it works is best explained by the people at Waze:

Like in the regular world cup competition, it’s an epic battle, country against country, to see who’ll come out on top – and in the Waze Worldcup, the final country left standing will not only get all the glory, but three lucky users in that country will also get a brand new iPad! Woo hoo!

You can get all the details from the Waze site Basically it involves collecting - or “munching” soccer ball goodies from all over ‘the map’ (Waze is a user-generated traffic warning system).  Users from the winning country will be in for a chance to win the iPad.

You just need to click on the Waze image above to get the app.

With the power of the Apple promotion machine in constant full blast, it is easy to forget some of the straight “phone” goodies that are also on offer.

We have been happily reminded of this by the USA Network with their current invitation to join their White Collar Mobile Fan Club! Some of the goodies on offer include:

* iPhone Wallpapers: a new one each week!
* White Collar Watch to Win:  win customized White Collar  prize packs!
* Tune-in Reminders…etc

FYI:  The USA Network hit series, White Collar,  is produced by Fox Television Studios, Inc. - the TV production arm of the News Corporation’s Fox Entertainment Group. The show will start its second season in July 2010 (on July 13).

In the meantime, there are iPhone wallpapers, games, quizzes and other goodies on offer from the network.

Does it cost? Well these are sent as text messages so if you are on an unlimited plan - then NO. Otherwise, check your charges before you sign up!

And just for good measure, USA Networks are providing us with an opportunity to win an iPad each week till the end of June. USA Network are “powering” the  CharacterArcade site who are running the contest. Apart from being a USA resident, all you have to do is either play the “game of the week” once - or just email them with your name and address to go into the draw to win. There is no cost to entering this contest.

By the way, if you are a fan (and the iphonegizmo team are all devotees already!) then do their “profiler quiz” to find out which character you are most like! Here is my result:

He’s my favorite, somaybe that biased the results?!

Mostly the posts on this blog are about cool free iPhone downloads. But we are not prejudiced. If there is a super cool discount - we will let you know about it. Especially if - like this app - its for an app we know is highly desirable!

This just-released app is currently on offer for $2.99 to the first million downloaders! That may seem a lot of downloads - but with navigation apps, our guess is that this massively discounted app will disappear fast. Why? Well, you might remember a post we did revealing that navigation apps are the most popular stolen apps? And the fact is that the previously released  NDrive app for the United States is still currently retailing for more than $30 in iTunes!

NDrive claims they are the top navigation App in Europe, Germany and other European countries. Prices there vary from £6.95 (UK) to £52.98 (Morocco). According to NDrive:

NDrive turns your iPhone into a powerful navigation system up to house number accuracy!

In other words, this is a pretty cool app - and worth grabbing at this low introductory price.
