I don't know about you, but the 8MP camera on my iPhone is much better than my old 5MP point-and-shoot. So that would be a bonus for me. But, I use Picasaweb to upload and manage all of my photos. I just like apps like Tapatalk for the more mobile-friendly UI.

When I posted that I had the first droid to come out with a 5mp camera and it left a little to be desired. I have since upgraded to an iphone 4s and I agree with you, the quality has greatly improved

This seems to come up a lot, so for those wanting to upload pictures from their iPhone to thesamba.com galleries, it can be done. And with the quality of phone pictures these days there's no reason not to. Best part is, you don't need to jailbreak your phone. You just need a different browse than Safari. Download and use iCab mobile from the app store; it supports picture uploads from the iPhone. In fact I just posted this picture from my iPhone, so it's even been tested.


No luck w icab although it's a nice browser.
Using a 4s, Unlike safari, I know have buttons to choose photos directly in my photo library but they always start uploading and say "...file size to large or corrupt" ?

Are other folks able to use this with the newer photo sizes? Maybe this has something to do with using a photo software to organize my albums? It shouldn't alter the camera roll I hope... Any ideas here?

Those are the two apps I would appreciate, I even would not mind paying for the app, 5-10$ or so would be fair.

thanks

Dont forget about Windows Phone! Some say it is projected to pass iphone in a few years.

I think a samba app for any of them, like the craigslist app would be awesome.

When I upgraded to a Smart Phone, I told the rep I wouldn't even consider a Windows phone. He told me he wouldn't have even recommended it.

A iPhone/iPad would be a great idea. The users now that are not so tech savvy would be able to post there for sale ad's with pictures and pictures of VW's for the Gallery. I don't think a payed for App would be out of line. More money in the pocket=buying more VW toys Smile

You don't need to worry about that. Having an app for a site doesn't directly affect the ability to use your phones web browser, unless the site is being greedy and forwards you to the app store for their PAID app.......

I use my iPhone for web use as little as possible. As we know you can navigate TheSamba, but it is tedious but quite doable.

It works better on the iPad - bigger screen helps a lot there, of course.

Even on my small netbook TheSamba can be trying.

I do not use the above devices a lot for TheSamba, but the bigger screened do get used on trips and I tolerate the limitations as a trade for the compact size of the devices.

It is all a compromise and I wish I could have my dual 23 inch monitors everywhere, but that just is not possible all the time.

I voted for the iPhone app, but can live just fine with out it as I am not glued to the damn thing like many are.

I can take it or leave it.

Uploading a photo from an iPhone or iPad has been covered just a few threads down on this page: Posting pics from an iPhone / iPad

Apple Schmapple. Proprietary sucks! iPhone, iPod, iPad, iTunes... iVomit!

I voted droid and would probably use the app quite a bit for checking in and keeping up when the computer's not available. You know, like when I'm on the toilet or something. Shocked

Hey, it's not just for Angry Birds!

Very Happy
