Photoshop Touch for phone
Introduced on the iPad and Android tablets last year, Photoshop Touch has now made its way to the iPhone. It certainly offers more editing power than any other iOS photo app we’ve come across, although whether you’ll want to be fiddling with features such as layers, lasso selections and such like on a 4in smartphone screen is debatable. The range of special effects filters is excellent, however, and the ability to swipe to adjust the colour and intensity of filters is more than most of the Instagram clones offer. Options to apply gradients and fades, or warp and transform images, provide even greater creative control. Photoshop Touch pushed our test iPhone 4S to the very limits, and consequently took a heavy toll on battery life, but if you’re bored with the identikit photo filters that arrive with most iPhone apps, this is a cheap way to take creative control.

Year Walk
Year Walk is about as atmospheric as smartphone gaming gets. This wonderfully evocative first-person adventure sees you trampling through a gothic woodland, attempting to solve puzzles and foresee the future on your "year walk". The graphics are immaculate, but it’s the eerie soundtrack that makes this game; from the crunching snow underfoot, to the haunting woodland sounds that provide subtle audio clues as to where to head next (headphones are essential). The puzzles are infuriatingly difficult â€" we had to consult a walkthrough guide just to get far enough through the game to review it â€" but once you get into the game’s mindset it becomes a little easier. A free companion app provides a potted history of year walking, but whatever you do, don’t hand this one to the kids â€" you’ll be paying off the psychologist bills for decades.

Bump
A splendidly simple, well-executed concept, Bump lets you send files to other smartphones and PCs by physically bumping them together. Most of the app’s features are geared towards bumping two phones together to swap files â€" the iPhone’s motion sensor acting as a trigger â€" although in our brief tests, we found we had to synchronise our bumping pretty closely to make it work (A "one, two, three", scissors, paper, stone-style countdown proved effective). However, Bump is the most convenient means we know of transferring files from iPhone to PC (as long as they’re connected to the same Wi-Fi network). Visit http://bu.mp [3] in your PC browser, physically tap the phone against the PC’s spacebar, and the selected files are transferred in a heartbeat. Photos, videos, music and documents can all be flung from phone to PC, and vice versa.
