Comment on Apple Acquires Rapid-Fire Camera App Developer SnappyLabsparent

Comments

And Apple has over a hundred billion dollars in cash and eighty thousand employees.

Although half of that is retail, which isn't going to help in software dev.

For sure, but SnappyLabs is a one-man company. I'd imagine Apple has at least a hundred employees who can write a decent iphone app :)

You do realize the enormous technical accomplishment that Snappycam's reworking of the jpg algorithm, and it's implementation on the iPhone processor was, right?

To call it a "decent iPhone app" somewhat puts down the 12 or so months of hard core research and implementation that jpap put into it.
