With the launch of the iPad and growth of Android and Windows Phone 7, 2010 was a great year for Apps.  The mobile App truly became the new currency with hundreds of thousands of Apps available just in the Android Market and App store. So, Mashable has selected their top 3 magnificent mobile Apps from 2010.

Hipstamatic is the first App selected which is available for iPhone users. The $1.99 App turns the iPhone camera into a toy camera. With its retro-recreation this App is unique from any other App. You can share your new pics through Flickr, Facebook, and Twitter. Most of all you can order prints on real photo paper, sweet! This App gives a creative twist to taking mobile photos.

Next, GoodReader is $1.99 App for ipad and is one of the best business Apps you can get for Apple’s tablet. At first sight GoodReader appeared to be like the PDF and document reader that Apple lacked in iOS. However, since its launch Apple beefed it up, opening large files and acting as a fantastic file manger and viewer. Mashable claims that what makes this App different than just a regular file viewer is that you can easily connect to network or cloud-based services to download file archives off the net. You can also add personal touches to the files like annotations, notes, and drawings.

Lastly is Pulse which is available for iPhone, iPad, and Android. Pulse is part of a trend of Apps that are recreating the news reading experience. Pulse is part Rss reader, part social aggregator, and simply just cool to look at.  Pulse is a awesome free way to get news on your mobile device.

Mobile Apps are simply an amazing advance in technology mainly because they are quick and accessible anytime and anyplace. Rather than having to sit down at your home computer or whip out your laptop and connect to the internet,  most mobile devices come equip with wifi. This provides a  simple  solutions to your problems at the very palm of your hand. From checking an updated score of a Monday night football game, to discovering which store sells those pair of pants cheaper, to figuring out what restaurant is rated highest in the area your in. Whatever it is you need to do I will assure you it is possible through a mobile App. There are endless possibilities for the future of mobile Apps, which is already made clear by the common phrase “There’s an App for That.”

Christmas is a time for being with family and friends, celebrating however your traditions call for. Whether it’s helping the kids get ready for Santa or celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, Christmas is always a wondrous time of year – decorating your tree, drinking Aunt Carol’s potent eggnog,  snogging under the mistletoe… the list goes on. People tend to have a sense of joy glued to their faces for the most part.

We at Blueye want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, belated  Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa and even Happy Festivus, if that is more your speed. Whatever you celebrate, we hope you keep that sense of joy glued to your face. If you need help and don’t have an Aunt Carol in your family, here is a lovely eggnog recipe sure to get you glowing in the holiday spirit.

I don’t know if anyone has noticed, but Hulu has been doing a poor job at keeping their shows updated on the site. Now with a subscription version of the site, Hulu Plus,  is available (at $10 a month), the shows can be up to 5 episode behind before any of us non-paying viewers get to catch up on them.

When first launching, Hulu seemed like a very innovative and convenient site to utilize. With hands tied by major networks they’ve partnered with, the creators of Hulu are unable to be ahead of the curve with new ways of viewing TV. Speculators say that it’s a little late to present a paid subscription version of the site. It is said that networks are intentionally holding back shows and limiting what can be launched to help better the site.

Networks are becoming more focused on how much money they continue to make on advertising on the traditional television and partnerships with cable companies, then how they can gain more within the custom internet ads played during the episodes available online.
