Description
Ninja Cam was a Windows Phone camera app featured alongside Baconit and Next Bus on Quinn's original homepage. It replaced the usual camera preview with an interactive imitation webpage. Tapping the page took a photograph with the rear camera and saved it to the phone's Camera Roll, so the screen appeared to show ordinary web browsing. The original Marketplace listing preserves Quinn's description.
The March 16, 2012 capture lists it as a free, English-language app for Windows Phone 7.5 or later. It records version 1.5.0.0, a 1 MB download, and a release field of February 29, 2012; that field does not establish whether this was the app's first release. Six early ratings and three screenshot references survive. A reader requested video recording, but the recovered description only documents still photographs.
Original Record
The April 2012 product page still said “This page is coming soon,” but its Marketplace link made it possible to recover the fuller description. The app identifier is 37ce9ea8-0c67-48b6-bd2a-ab055855eb49. Explore the surrounding homepage in the website archive.
