The ever popular photo app for the iPhone, Snapture today made a few upgrades the most important of which is enabling users to share photos on Facebook and Twitter. Apart from that, it also released features like different color modes and an auto focus function with just a tap. The app is pretty nice which is exactly why people would pay $1.99 for it. There are a whole of features available which include multi shot mode and sharing via email and its popularity can be measured by the fact that it has been downloaded over 700K times.

eBay has loaded off Skype but the ecommerce site is not holding itself back. Today it announced the launch of its iPhone app which is called Deals. That’s not all, it has also updated its existing app for the iPhone and iPod Touch and the reason to power its mobile offering is definitely the financial aspect. According to eBay’s own estimates the sales on its mobile site will cross over $500 Million as the year comes to an end. Its app has already been downloaded more that 5 million times, across 77 countries, which isn’t surprising given that it really makes the user experience worth all the time spent.

Google Wave is on the App Store and apparently neither Google or Apple is aware of that. Reports state that there is already an app for the much praised Google Wave at $0.99. Wow and I bet it’s still out there, kudos to CLapps who also develop games for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The developer is definitely going to enjoy it while it lasts, which means until people at Google get after it and have it removed. I am surprised that if Google Wave is already functional on the iPhone, why haven’t they launched the app as yet?

If a new app is not made available at the App Store, I can gulp it down and say it just didn’t get green. But a seasoned and a very popular one that has been around for quite some time vanishes, it looks odd. The TweetDeck app has seen the same, and has vanished from the scene after being around for quite some as the Twitter client on the iPhone. The reason? Appears it wasn’t bug free and caused a whole of crash and burn to have Apple pull it out. Though the bug free version has been submitted, but as it is with Apple, it wont rush with things and take all time to ensure it is bug free. I hope the update is out soon enough for the TweetDeck fans.

It was only a week back when we informed that the apps at the App Store had crossed the 100,000 mark. Today however, Apple confirmed the numbers as the official report confirmed reached the milestone. And that is more than impressive in just a little under a year and a half. The chart above shows category wise distribution apps at the app store and the games lead the shares with a 16% share followed by books and entertainment at 13%.
