Re: [videoblogging] iPod Nano shoots video
I must have subconsciously absorbed this news from the internets. Apple have just ditched exclusivity with O2 in the UK and have signed deals with Orange and Vodafone. ATT exclusivity ends in 2010 - if the UK trial goes well for Apple, perhaps they will then open things up more in the US too.

So Rupert given your experience with Nokia and Apple, I would love to read your more elaborate thoughts on the two options for mobile smart phone puters. Are you leaning towards iPhone? I was a Nokia user for a long time...but without being a fanboy, I got to say how awesome the iPhone is. The fact that you can figure out how to do things without instructions is amazing. Hopefully, other companies will follow this model. It's strange to me that Nokia is open and Apple is closed, but developers have created many more applications for Apple than Nokia. Being a big fan of Open Source, it's just an example that usability will always win. As far as the camera on the iPhone 3GS, it's not something right home about. The image is pretty poor. Little control. Bad mic. BUT BUT BUT it is extremely easy to take a video and post it online. So easy. Hopefully, Apple with all their developers and design sense will just set the expectation for how all phones should be, open source included.

Re: [videoblogging] iPod Nano shoots video
No. I realised the only reason I wanted an iPhone/iPod Touch this week - the *only* reason - is for a job next week where the client wants me to do audioboos. Otherwise, I've been saving up for an N900. I'll find another way around the live audio posting. The Audioboo iPhone app is an elegant solution, but there must be other ways. Nokia rumors are that they will come out with a competing device to the iPad next year, running Maemo. No prizes for guessing which I'll be buying. I think these devices will change the way we read books, newspapers, magazines and watch films. If the big media companies have any sense, they're wetting their pants in anticipation of proper multifunction media players and e-readers. Small independent media companies should be doing the same.

Re: [videoblogging] iPod Nano shoots video
Nokia has been closed up until now. The N900 using an open source OS is a radical departure for them - they've been a traditional, hierarchical closed company. Thus many fewer apps. Also the apps are more functional, less fun for straight mobile phones. The moment you bring in a touch screen with a large screen surface area and good resolution, the more things you can do with it. And then add the financial and career incentive of creating a successful app for the world's most popular mobile computer. I think you're right, though - Nokia have had to raise their game massively because of the iPhone, and the N900 is definitely a desperate reaction to the iPhone and their subsequent drop in market share. Making it open and using a slightly different technology for the touch screen is a gamble, but I think it might pay off. I'm already scheming video apps for it.

One thing to consider with pixelpipe (unlike the iPhone's sharing of video by email or to YouTube) is that it doesn't compress the video first and doesn't limit the length. So you can easily end up trying to push a 30, 40, 50MB+ video from your phone. It's still a great app. You just have to be mindful of what you're trying to upload. - Verdi On Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 11:32 AM, Rupert Howe rup...@twittervlog.tv wrote: Pixelpipe works for me to distribute to Blip.

[videoblogging] Re: iPod Nano shoots video
I have to say that I agree about the Iphone...and you all know how hard that is for me to say..lol But I think almost hands down, the Iphone is the best entertainment device that also happens to be a phone. Now I have heard as just a phone it's just so so, but they did pretty much nail everything else. Last week, my wife, Glenna, said she wanted a phone that could sync with her work outlook, mail, etc. So we went looking at the phones verizon has (long time users, I like the network, what can I say) Well we first looked at the blackberries and they are nice but she also wanted the abilbity to watch shows, listen to podcasts, music etc, surf the web and all that...well the one blackberry she really liked was the storm and given the reviews of the storm, there was no way (although I hear the storm 2 is much better), then we started looking at the windows mobile phones.and OMG...I wanted to toss the phones accross the room, I mean they sucked, I don't just mean they were hard to use, they just sucked, compared to my Dare they sucked...and I like Windows...one of about 3 in this group... Just to send a text message was an effort in how many steps can we make... Anyway, she didn't get anything.yet, the blackberry is still on the table but if verizon had the Iphone, we would have walked out of the store on Tuesday happy and verizon would have made some money So I will give props to Apple for the iphoneit does make you wonder though why these other handset makers are having such a hard time making an Iphone cloneI mean it can't be that hard, can it?

Are you leaning towards iPhone? I was a Nokia user for a long time...but without being a fanboy, I got to say how awesome the iPhone is. The fact that you can figure out how to do things without instructions is amazing. Hopefully, other companies will follow this model. It's strange to me that Nokia is open and Apple is closed, but developers have created many more applications for Apple than Nokia. Being a big fan of Open Source, it's just an example that usability will always win. As far as the camera on the iPhone 3GS, it's not something right home about. The image is pretty poor. Little control. Bad mic. BUT BUT BUT it is extremely easy to take a video and post it online. So easy. Hopefully, Apple with all their developers and design sense will just set the expectation for how all phones should be, open source included.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: iPod Nano shoots video
So I will give props to Apple for the iphoneit does make you wonder though why these other handset makers are having such a hard time making an Iphone cloneI mean it can't be that hard, can it? I think its a few issues. One is that they are unloading phones that were already mass produced or far along in the prototype/manufacturing phases. Discarding all of that would have been wasteful. The iPhone was a game changer. But since it was tethered to ATT for 3 years, this gave the rest of the market some breathing room to catch up. Now some phones came out to make you think that they were like the iPhone but those were cheap imitations that dont come close. But for marketing reasons, they had to release some stuff while they do serious RD on the actual devices that would compete with the iPhone. Some companies just wont be able to play this game not enough resources to properly commit to being the next best phone. But Nokia is certainly able to compete and it seems that this new Maemo5 OS and n900 device are worthy of cross-comparisons with Apple's offerings. The other issue is the tech and brand adoption. Apple iPhone is not without its flaws. I actually shouldn't speak to this too much since I don't own one. But I am aware of various hardware and software problems even with the latest 3.1 OS release. But it's Apple and in order to tarnish that brand, they would need to have a bunch of phones that explode and injure people. Nothing short of that will damage their reputation. The App Store is also a very solid market place since the phone is very popular. And Apple marketing is focusing on that big time - There's an app for that. - This messages tells people that the iPhone can do everything you want and is simple to use. Both basically true facts. At the same time, shit like this bugs me to no end - http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/apple_rejects_politically_charged_iphone_app.php Sull [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
