Folks over at TechCrunch have published something very interesting for the Facebook fans who use their iOS devices for photo uploads and status updates. According to the post, they have received extensive information including screenshots and documentation which points to a secret photo sharing app from Facebook in development for iPhone, iPod and iPad. It is not sure whether the photo sharing shown in leaked images will be a part of the current Facebook iOS app or it will be a totally redesigned application, or could well be an entirely new one. Facebook is currently the world’s largest photo service with over 100 Billion photos so it makes all the more sense to have a dedicated photo sharing app.

With Amazon’s new Android Appstore rolling out, there is a feature that makes Amazon’s Appstore look like it’s a step ahead of Apple’s. “Test Drive” allows potential Appstore customers to try out the app in their browser, on a virtual, cloud-based, Android virtual machine. This is a remarkable step towards both showing the power of cloud-based computing and giving customers a fair idea of what they can expect from an app before they buy it.

It’s not difficult to imagine Apple implementing something similar into iTunes sometime in the near future.
