While this year comes to a steady end the next has already so many promises in the Mobile world. This week has offered us a clear representation of what 2013 held for us, how Gifs can now be an image we hold in our hands. And how VSCO made Android come alive...more than ever.
If we look but at this year, we can clearly state that it was the year of camera's that where built inside of our mobile phones. How our pockets became a holder for this machine and how the images we've captured could be the ultimate scrapbook. What was so interesting was even how journalism has been renamed Mobile Journalism, Time Magazine issued that the people they sent out in the field. That during Hurricane Sandy, one of the moble images made the front cover and they constantly kept everyone updated by posting straight to the web. Take a look at what this year has built with the use of Mobile Photography.

Gifpop has gone live, after starting a race on Kickstarter, it has the components to be a reality. All the while hitting the Kickstarter deadline...which hasn't been achieved before. This lenticular printing, which you may think looks familiar. Because these "holograms" made for children's cards and toys. The cost will depend on the size of the image you want it to be, but this physical card could make for a unique Christmas gift.
