[Guest Paul]

Welcome to 'Paul's App of the Day', where I pick one of my favourite apps as featured app of the day! Today's app is...

CameraPaper

What they say

* now works super fast, but only Froyo(or newer) is supported. *

the first Live wallpaper made exclusively for your lovely nexus one, featuring the `live' wallpaper.

Features:
* Double-Tap to pause (also stop the camera)
* Triple-Tap to snap a picture!
* Power saving mode

What we say

IF you have a Froyo device that this works on (i've used it OK on Desire and Nexus One), it rocks. It's like your phone being see through on the home and lock screens. B)

Suggested improvements for the next version

As well as double-tap to pause and triple-tap to snap, i'd like single-tap to refocus. Pre-Froyo support would be great. B)

The camera consumes a lot of power, so in my opinion it's not a good wallpaper. Nice idea, though.

It is a nice idea, I was cautiously optimistic about the battery but it dropped 3% on my Desire in two minutes of scrolling through home screens!

That said, if you're in a situation where you're using your home screen widgets but need to be able to take a picture very quickly, it could be good to turn on temporarily.
