When Apple launched iPhoto for iPhone, it quickly became clear that there was something odd going on with the maps in the application.
In the world of online mapping, it feels like things aren't quite going in Google's direction these days: Apple switched away from Google Maps to OpenStreetMap when it launched iPhoto for iOS.
iPhoto crashed on launch the first three or four times I tried it, but has worked without complaint since then.
Yet Apple has also been working on its own mobile photography capabilities: photo-editing in iOS 5, and most recently the launch of a fully-fledged iPhoto app, complete with filters and a sharing feature called Photo Journals.
With a metric that's bound to make mobile app developers jealous, Apple has confirmed that its newly launched iOS-compatible version of iPhoto hit the 1 million user mark, only 10 days after its release.
If your photo application (e.g., iPhoto) does not automatically launch when you connect your iPad, make sure it's configured to do so.
This feature is key for mobile, but it doesn't automatically sync all photos on your phone to Google+ in the same way that the Android app does (and iPhoto will once iCloud launches).
Even its initial launch was heads and tails better than iPhoto chugging to life, but each subsequent opening was a positive revelation.
If you have configured iPhoto to automatically open when connecting a digital camera, it will launch when you plug in your iPad.
