Apps come and go quickly, the entry I wrote back in November recommending apps has already been installed on most of my friend's devices. In this entry, I will recommend some apps which have spinned off from the Galaxy SIII together with a couple of other pretty good apps you may like to give it a go!


Kicking off with the Emulated Galaxy SIII Live Wallpaper for your Galaxy SII, offering you the ripple experience of the SIII lockscreen at the point of touching. The drawback is that it will use more of your battery. Well, but everything you use requires battery anyway, and if you are not yet getting an SIII, you can still entertain yourself with this little app.

Next, Flipboard has not only come to the Galaxy SIII but also to the rest of the Android devices! An amazing app which allows you to link up your Facebook, Twitter and the web then presenting to you in the form of an electronic magazine. I particularly like the positioning and resizing of the photos. Brilliantly done! You can still share and comment on your favourite posts while you are using it. Trust me, you will love it!

If you like the look-and-feel of the TouchwizUX of the Galaxy SIII, you can also download it and many other stock widgets from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1666384

After Focus is a decent app which allows the user to post-edit their sharp photos and making it blur -- Bokeh! The tricky thing is, you need to learn to draw 3 lines. One is the clear and unblurred boundary, second is the semi-blurred, and last the fully-blurred. If you draw it wrongly, the software will prompt you, so it is not too hard to use really, and the output is quite nice too!

Finally, LINE Camera. Excellent guide to add effects and funny, cute stickers to the photos. Adds colours to the making of eCards or ePhotos for your friends and love ones. Lots of creativity allowed with the package offered. Great stuff! Touch a dear friend's heart by sending them a photo produced by the LINE Camera, you'll both have a good time making and receiving the photos.
