MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

dayum! the rumor mill has already started on next years model! 3GS what?

They didn't put HD recording capability in the iPhone this year because they intend to put it in next year to get us all to buy the newest iPhone.

And we'll be able to view HD on our televisions via the iPhone a/v cable

I have to admit. I'm having more fun than I ever thought I would with a video capable iPhone.

Got a call from a client... "What's taking so long to get here?"
He got back a movie of the traffic on the 405 fwy.

Response from him?

"Was that movie from the new iPhone? That looks fantastic!"

Anybody notice the title of this page at the very top of the browser?

"Washington Post says hardly any software bundled with 12-inch PowerBook G4"

Correct me if I'm wrong, Didn't apple got 3mp and 5MP cameras sensors this year? the 3MP are on the iPhone 3GS, and where are the 5MP sensors?

Used the iPhone's video capabilities last night at the driving range to video my son's golf swing and show him what he was doing incorrectly. Amazing.

Meet the new Mac mini.
Portable and plug it into a dock connector (with a mini display port) to your HDTV. The dock will allow the iPhone (or iPod touch) to charge/run and output video and stereo sound. Bluetooth connections to keyboard and mouse. Wireless backup to Airport Base Station.

Too bad Safari browsing a MobileMe gallery can't play videos made by an iPhone 3GS. WTF!

Notice:

It says 1080p. It doesn't say 1920*1080p. So it could be 1440*1080
or 1366*1080p
or 100 *1080p
alright, i was just being stupid, with that last one...

Very nice, and with seeing this new concept I found, it makes perfect sense!

Awesome!

I've already seen a hacked 720p from the 3GS, and it looks pretty good. It seems the components can handle it pretty well, but battery life does take a hit, and storage, well, better not talk about that.

That should be "wringer" not "ringer."

@ Max -

That link is asking me to download and install some sort of viewing software... Is this some sort of malware site??? Hmmmm?

@Tommy Boy

It can.. well sorta.. I have uploaded several videos to my MobileMe, and then used mobile Safari to load my gallery, and watched the movie.. all of this just to verify that it was uploaded.

Oops.. forgot to mention that it actually loads ?Quicktime? to view it.. looks actually as if it has gone to the same "viewer" that you watch YouTube videos on the phone with.

When you consider that 1080p movies would take up several gigs of HD space, putting them (or even 720p movies which are 4 to 6GB) on current iPhones with only 16 or 32GB of space would simply be a cool nerd trick. That's the type of "feature" MS is touting with it's ZuneHD coming out in the fall.

However, when the iPod touchS comes out with 64GB or more, then 720/1080p movies start to make sense on a device with extremely limited internal resolution.

with the mini-USB port now used as the standardized charging port. Perhaps Apple can also use it to allow external storage. Plug in a 256GB SSD in USB and capture those HD videos.
