Thanks primarily to the popularity of Instagram and similar services, it's now a case of, "another day, another image-manipulation app," and 8mm Vintage Camera by Nexvio Inc., enables you to create some fantastic, retro-looking videos.
The constant squabbles and patent-based conflict between Apple and Samsung is a well-documented debacle, and while both companies have agreed to drop several claims each, Apple does feel as though Samsung's recent rise as the number one smartphone vendor is mainly due to plagiarism of its products.
