Have you ever wanted to see pictures from a certain place during a particular time? Snapr, a soon-to-be released iPhone app, will let you do it. Snapr users will be able to take a picture, Geotag it, add text, and upload it.

Snapr developed by ME&A Mobile, will aggregate the Geotagged photos and display them online on a map in real time. Users will be able to search in a particular area and see all the photos that have been tagged there. Snapr will automatically post updates as more photos are tagged.

The iPhone app was expected to be available in the app store in mid-March.

Snapr will be a showcased startup at TECH cocktail SXSW: Blackout Sunday presented by Microsoft BizSpark and Volusion.

Khu.sh

Now, personally, I am not much of a karaoke singer; I never could get the nerve up to stand in front of a crowd and have strangers hear my horrific singing voice. However, if I could sing into my iPhone instead and have my voice laid over the song track in the privacy of my own home, that might work better for me ;) . Enter Khu.sh.

Khush Inc., founded by music technology enthusiasts at the Georgia Tech Music Intelligence Lab, develops music applications for mobile phones.

The company’s iPhone app, called LaDiDa, is a reverse karaoke application. When you sing into the phone, LaDiDa analyzes your voice and composes music to match. You can even submit your songs to a main library and listen to songs submitted by other users.

Download the LaDiDa applicationLaDiDa

Check out the demo videos (below).

It looks like a pretty cool app. Hopefully, soon they will have an app for the Android as well. I would definitely play with it, and I know my kids would love it!

Don’t miss them showing off their stuff at TECH cocktail SXSW: Johnny Cash Blackout Sunday presented by Microsoft BizSpark and Volusion!
