Quick App: FreeCam for TouchPad 7
When taking really simple pictures using your TouchPad camera, it doesn't get much better than Camera for TouchPad. But, if you wanted to see how the camera works on your tablet before paying $0.99 for the app by Keen Studios, then FreeCam for TouchPad is the one you'll want to look for. FreeCam has only the very basic features that an application like this should have (that is, it can take photos and not much else), but it is just as easy to use as any alternatives, and of course, it's free.
There are some limitations: you won't be able to tap a button to see your latest photos, press the volume keys to get that next shot or take multiple photos quickly (like with the Keen Studio app). Photos are stored locally in a new album that can be viewed from your built-in Photos and Videos application, though. And taking a picture is still very simple - just setup the shot and tap the shutter button on the bottom of the screen. For what it is, a free camera app, FreeCam for TouchPad does a well enough job at letting your take photos that it should not be passed up.
If you do have that $0.99 to spare, you might be more interested in the extra features that come with Camera for TouchPad; otherwise, hit the app catalog link below to grab this free alternative.

Hey! That's me!
Thanks for the review :)
You should had at least photoshopped a picture with the image inside and not a white one with the labels 9which, by the way, can be hidden).
May I recommend photoFun as well for reviewing and buying? (tip: it doubles as a camera) :-)
good job. works for me. I agree about PS'ing a photo in, it likely would have been a photo of derek LOL.
Thanks for the app. I found it after I used my code to get the paid one. Both work great.
I didn't realize you could hide the hints. I like it better already!
I installed this earlier this week and the program never worked. Maybe I should of tried restarted my touchpad before uninstalling the program.
Love the UI
it looks like it also collects metrics data, users beware. It should have been mentioned in the article
I like the app; the pictures are better quality than another free app I tried. And you can turn off the data collection in the Preferences menu option. I'll try a network packet capture with the preferences set both ways and see what happens.
