It's a good application, but needs to be updated. It currently doesn't support the higher resolution available with the iPhone 3G S.

PhotoGene is a great editor that offers all the functionality it takes to do quick edits before posting an image. No wonder that it received an Editor's Pick over at iPhonePhotoVideo.com
