I am quite certain that many Griffin employees begin their day with Reddit.com as their homepage. You may also choose to begin your daily browsing from the popular user supported, vote-powered sharing site.

Our software manager, Casey Fleser, chose the Alien Blue app for our App of the Week. Alien Blue is an unofficial Reddit Client, which allows you to quickly access the site via your app.

The iTunes app page says that it’s a feature packed client for browsing Reddit. It has been developed from the ground-up for an intuitive touch-screen experience, and can support any other websites that run on the Reddit API.

If you love discovering the best of the web, look no further than Reddit and the Alien Blue app.

Craig Huggins from our Quality Assurance department has selected Pano as the App of the Week.

Pano is an award-winning app that lets you take beautiful, seamless panoramic photos straight from your phone, no other software necessary. Selected by Apple as one of the “Best Apps of 2009″, Pano has gotten rave reviews from hundreds of thousands of users around the world! Pano is exclusively for iPhone and iPod Touch (with camera).

MacWorld’s Tom Hesser reviewed Pano and he loved it! You can read the full review here.

Pano does a very simple thing in principle, but the results are incredible given that this is something created by a mobile application.

The popular photography app is available for $1.99 in the App Store. Grab it now.
