Picture Play really is one of the more exciting shareware marvels to appear on the Mac scene for some time. It lets you combine digital photos, scanned images, or any other graphics to create rich and diverse compositions with editable text content, backgrounds, and stylish effects. Picture Play can also be used to resize and trim images, as well as modify image brightness, contast, hue and saturation. Its powerful multi-layered engine allows you to rearrange and edit individual objects freely until your original artwork is how you want it. You can then print, or export to one of many standard file formats, to share with family and friends, on paper or the web.

Chameleon comes with 18 effects, including innovative artistic styles such as Oil Painting, Chalk, Halftone, and Stubble Brush.

The iTrip mini FM transmitter lets you play your iPod mini's music wirelessly through any FM radio Ñ in your car, on the road, even at home through your stereo. The iTrip mini was designed exclusively for the iPod mini. Its form factor matches perfectly all the curves and lines of the iPod mini. It sounds even sweeter. iTrip mini gives you the best possible performance because you can choose any empty station from 87.7 to 107.9. Best of all you choose and change your iTrip mini stations directly from the iPod mini itself. Just plug it in and go. It shuts off automatically after 60 seconds of silence just like the iPod mini.
