CES 2012: Optrix unveils VideoPro extreme sports recording app
Optrix already makes some of the most rugged mounts available for iPhone 4/4S and iPod touch, and now they’ve got a video recording app to help with all that extreme action filming you keep wanting to do. Not only does it film, but it displays and records lap time, a GPS track map, speed, g-force diagram, and more.
iPhone Appidemic: Camera Genius
If you’re an iPhone camera buff, you’ve probably downloaded several camera-related apps on your iPhone. If you can still accomodate another one, or if you haven’t used any of these third-party camera apps, consider checking out Camera Genius. The app has been updated recently and it’s even more powerful and fun-to-use. The app can become pretty addictive, especially if your friends start noticing how good your iPhone photos are becoming.
iPhone Appidemic: Camera Plus Pro
I find something liberating about all of these photo effect apps for the iPhone. Being an avid Photoshop user, I’m used to getting exactly what I want out of an image if I’m willing to work at it long enough. That type of power and control is not available on an iPhone app, of course, but that makes it more fun to play around with. And when it comes to iPhone photography and manipulation, few are as fun as Camera Plus Pro.
Skyfire’s $2.99 web browser quickly “sells out” at the App Store
As reported earlier, the Skyfire Web Browser for iPhone was supposed to be released soon. But what we didn’t expect is that the release would be this soon, and that it would “sell out” so quickly. Despite costing $2.99 to get a web browser that allows you to stream some Flash videos on your iPhone, Skyfire Labs pulled the app until they can increase capacity.
Can FaceTime survive in the mobile video-calling world?
With the news this week that Apple will allow third party developers to use the front-facing video camera within their applications comes a question about the life expectancy of Apple’s very own FaceTime. Is there enough of an individual market for FaceTime to make a name for itself, or is the competition too big to allow another player into the market? Some people feel FaceTime will be a huge success for Apple, but if so, they have a lot to get right in a relatively short space of time.
Appletell reviews iMovie for iPhone 4
When Apple announced iMovie for the iPhone 4 at this year’s WWDC Keynote, I was delightfully surprised. However, I still remained skeptical at how well editing video could work on such a small device that doesn’t have nearly as much power as my MacBook Pro. After purchasing and using the application, though, I was once again delightfully surprised.
iPhone 4 camera looks to be quite impressive
The iPhone 4 has a bunch of great hardware updates, but the one I am most excited for is the camera. As a hobby photographer, I’m quite disappointed with how the camera on the iPhone has functioned thus, especially with the quality of the photos compared to other mobile devices. The new iPhone camera, like the iPhone 3GS, will be capable of video recording, except this time it’s 720p HD at 30fps all wrapped inside of a 5MP sensor near an LED flash.
iPhone HD will record video at 720P
Not only is the next generation of iPhone rumored to have a 5MP camera chip in it, it supposedly will record video at 720p. That qualifies as HD video, which also gives more umph to the rumor that the next iPhone will be called “iPhone HD.” Someone decided to take a peak inside of the iPhone OS 4.0 beta 3, and they found that there are some pretty telling bits of code concerning video.
Video chatting evidence found in iPhone 3.2 Software Development Kit
iDevice video chatting—it’s the rumor that just won’t quit. This time, 9to5Mac found icons and references in the code of the iPhone 3.2 Software Development Kit that point a big old finger at video chatting. There’s even a reference to iChat inside of the iPhone OS. Perhaps Apple is readying iChat to crush compete with BeejiveIM and Meebo. You can see that the icons show that a future app and piece of hardware may be able to make and receive video calls.
OmniVision unveils 5MP phone camera sensor with RAW, Full HD
OmniVision has announced a new image sensor that reportedly really steps up the quality. The new 5 megapixel sensor can shoot in RAW with its back-illuminated CMOS design. It also has enhanced support for video, something your next iPhone would really like to have. Might I remind you that OmniVision is rumored to be supplying Apple’s next generation iPhone with a 5MP image sensor. Is this it?
