This Week in Reviews [December 17-21]
Dec 22, 2012 08:00 AM EDT by The week before Christmas, we got our hands on some serious gadgets. Although it may be too late to gift them for the holiday, we expect a lot of shoppers will be taking their Christmas money and cashing in one one of these devices. We closed out the week with everything from a free iOS app to a fitness gadget to a new Windows 8 tablet-laptop hybrid.
Cinemagram
The free app for iOS is Instagram meets animated GIF. Users can create 2- to 3-second videos, amplify a certain part of the video, apply a filter and share to such social networks as Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter. We were fans of the easy-to-use interface, 18 filter choices and Mask feature (which lets you draw in a certain part of the frame you want to move while the rest of the video stays frozen), but could do without the slow uploads and inability to make your profile private.
