Thanks to my friend Pete for suggesting this product as a review. Thanks to photojojo for sending the item. I unbox the telephoto lens for the iPhone 4. Check out the video for all the details and be sure to comment and lets hear what you think about the product.
Gigapan has posted a picture of the inauguration which is 59,783 X 24,658 pixels or 1,474 megapixels in size. This is composed of 220 pictures taken to form this amazing panorama. When you see the picture you think, big deal, but when you realize you can zoom all the way to the sniper team on the far off building and see them fairly clearly, you quickly change your mind. This is not the first picture of its kind, but it is a great picture and worth taking a look.
This picture has been up for a day or two and if you have not already taken a look at it, I highly urge you to do so.
Casio is releasing two new 9 megapixel cameras with the ability to record 720p video at 1000 frames per second. The EX-FC100 (5x optical Zoom) and EX-FS100 (3x Optical Zoom) will allow us to make extremely slow motion videos such as the show "Time Warp" (only slightly slower) and give us high def video to boot. It sounds like Casio is trying to one-up the competition with features found on more high-end devices. There is no word on price or release date yet, but if reasonable, these could be a great pocket recording device with some nice features, assuming the CCD or CMOS sensor performs well.
For quite some time it has been expressed that many would love to see a Mac Tablet. Today Appleinsider discovered a patent filing that shows just that. The patent shows many different ways that the interface can be used.
"The illustrations in the April 15, 2008 document, which builds on filings dating back two years, depict a tablet Mac with a full windowing interface, by which interface windows can be enlarged, shrunk, moved, and cycled, rather than being locked or set in place as they are with the company’s iPhone. Several examples from the filing, which lists Apple industrial design chief Jonathan Ive among its inventors, are provided below. Some examples not listed but included in the filing include cycling through pages by vertical and horizontal finger swipes, and simultaneous zoom-and-rotate maneuvers."
The keyboard looks as though it is a larger version of the iPhone’s and has a a more advanced but simple interface. Is this what awaits on September 9th? I am sure a lot of us hope so.
