"We could have never predicted that our coverage of the iSteam iPhone app would result in a battle between apps that let you blow air on the mic to add steam, or fog-like effects to photos and backgrounds. But Tomy Schoenfeld, the guy behind the iFog app, obviously felt that we (mainly me) had done his app, which launched 10 5 days prior to iSteam, a huge injustice.\nSchoenfeld's decry, \"I would appreciate if you could make changes to your original post and include a description of our application. this is a competitive market and we believe that better products, like iFog, should be promoted to\u00A0make the public aware of it.\" Competitive market, who knew? Well Tomy, we'll give iFog its day in court, and we'll let our readers (not me) decide the verdict.\niFog\n\n\n\n\nOn the positive side of things, iFog [iTunes link] comes pre-loaded with nicer background images, lets you select different brush sizes for writing on images, and has a fog-free writing feature for stealth messages that your friends can decipher once they fog up your phone with their breathe. You can also save photos to your library and take pictures from within the app.\nBefore you give your vote to iFog, consider the known issues like the fact that iFog doesn't function as well in noisy environment, and occassionally shows a white screen while trying to switch backgrounds. Something I noticed is that the images aren't as responsive to touch when attempting to access the options screen.\niSteam\n\n\n\n\nIn iSteam's [iTunes link] favor are the beads of sweat that drip down your steamed-up screen, and the eclectic sound effects that accompany your drawing endeavors.\nIf saving photos, not being able to take a picture within the app, and creating secret messages are must haves, than iSteam might be a deal breaker for you. And for the superficial types, you might be turned off by iSteam's interface, which looks like the ugly friend when compared side to side with iFog.\nWinner Takes Fog (or Steam)\nNow that you, the public, are aware of both iSteam and iFog. You tell us, which app steals your steamy desires?\n\n\n Which app would you rather use (ie. blow on)?
