    For those of you who enjoy taking photos with your iPhone, just a heads up, the app Camera+ slipped a feature through Apple's screening process that allows you to use the volume buttons to take photos eliminating the need to tap the screen.

    I know this is available on Cydia, but for those like me who don't go the jailbreak route this is a welcome feature.

    Full story

    I bought the app and tested it and it works flawlessly. I'm sure it'll soon suffer the same death MiTube did.

    Guess it was taken off at midnight. I was able to get it around 11pm :(

    Totally gone. Once again this is why Cydia exist. It's such an innovative idea but banned for unreasonable term. I doubt if I will be adjusting any volume while I'm in a Camera app?

    I was so glad I grabbed it before Apple took it off. A friend of mine tried to get it today and was too late.

    The thing I enjoy about this feature is I can use 2 hands now for steady pics rather than trying to hold and tap awkwardly!
