Undeleting iPhone photos, or anything else
I’m starting to post more stuff that I come across that I think will be interesting to All About iPhone’s readers, such as this. If you happen to delete photos – or any other data – on your iPhone that you want to recover, then you can try this method:

It works because data on the iPhone’s disk (as with any other computer) is still present until it gets overwritten. When you “delete” a photo, only the reference to that photo file is actually removed. You can then use a photo recovery tool, as with any other disk. Personally, I’ve always found PhotoRescue to be superb at recovering photos.
This method does require an iPhone that has been jailbroken prior to you deleting the data you want to recover. But because you get a disk image of your entire phone, you could recover any data from it, as long as it hasn’t already been overwritten, and you know where to look.
App Review: ePhotos
I almost entitled this “I shouldn’t have to write this review”. Why? Well it’s not the fault of the application. ePhotos does exactly what it says it will, which is send multiple photos via email.

App Review: Seadragon Mobile
Rather amazingly, created by Microsoft, Apple arch-rival in the operating system business, Seadragon is a graphical demo from one of Microsoft’s fringe labs. It has been implemented first on the iPhone because of the latter’s market-leading graphics capabilities (e.g. the hardware graphics acceleration). No doubt other mobile platforms will follow as and when the hardware catches up. Although labelled a demo, there’s still a huge amount here of interest – and it’s all free.
