Samsung's SmartStay replicated by ISeeYou Android app, keeps screens on while you're watching

If you're not joining the [Galaxy S III bandwagon][3] and aren't keen on feeling completely left out, the ISeeYou app can give you a hand. Mimicking [Sammy's SmartStay feature][4], the app prevents your [ICS][5] device from slipping into sleep mode when you're staring at its display. Springing $0.99 for the app nets you control over the frequency and length of the peeks taken by your phone's front-facing camera -- helpful for coordinating with a handset's sleep settings and presumably for optimizing battery life. A free version can be taken for a spin, though it doesn't allow for such fine tuning. Yearning to simulate part of the Galaxy S III experience? Mosey over to [Google Play][6] for the downloads.
