Satromizer operating system (sOS)

TiltShift Generator [iPhone, iPad]
Get that “Everything looks likes toys!” look without the hard work, just download this application from Takayuki Fukatsu and Takuma Mori, then start manipulating away. It allows for high-quality post-processing as well as radical depth-of-field effects, making for a winning photo-editing tool.

Bubble Harp [iPhone, iPad]
Interactive artist Scott Snibbe’s application allows you to tap your way to creating unique cell-like patterns in a black and white membrane by simply moving your finger(s) around the screen to form shapes into elegant bubbles. Use it to create visuals at your friend’s next show and BAM! you’re an interactive artist. Snibbe also has two other apps worth mentioning: Gravilux, where you can draw with stars to make cosmic patterns by changing parameters and adding anti-gravity, and Antograph, which allows you to draw with spirals and trails of tiny ants.

NESynth [iPhone, iPad]
Sample sounds from the old-school 8-bit bleep blip days of gaming’s past, and get lost in the sound effects. This app also features NES Mode, in which you use a classic NES controller to make the sounds, so you can truly get your geek on.

And as a little bonus app is this game from Tinchy Stryder called Billionaire Bandit. If you’re partial to a bit of gambling in the pub, or maybe you’ve hit Vegas and tried your luck, then you’ll have pumped some of your earnings into slots machines (even Marge Simpson can’t resist them). Now you can play them without losing cash while listening to Tinchy’s tunes.
