UPDATE: I uploaded the .mov file earlier for this post and noticed that there were some artifacts in the video when watching it on Posterous versus in QuickTime. To see the .mov click the download link below the Posterous video player. I've also uploaded the same video to YouTube to see if there were any artifacts. What do you think?
I'm pretty impressed. Though it's no where near HD quality (not supposed to be), it's more than adequate for casual video. Plus, how often are you gonna be carrying an HD camera in your pocket versus your cell phone. Also, below is a pic I took. Improvement is slight but also noticeable.
It seems appropriate that on the day I get my shiny new iPhone 3GS that the Wall Street Journal reports that Steve Jobs underwent a successful liver transplant about two months ago. The story goes on to say that Jobs has recuperated well and is set to return back to daily work activity at the scheduled end of June. Nothing more I want to say other than glad he's doing better. It's always great news when a cancer survivor bounces back.
The good folks over at CrunchGear posted this hack on their site. Works only on Mac for the moment but I'm sure a PC version will come out soon. Tested it on my system and it took all of 45 seconds to set this thing up. Woohoo! Speed was more than decent. About 1.3mps down and about 0.3mps up.
We're now pleased to offer our iPhone 3G customers who are upgrade eligible in July, August or September 2009 our best upgrade pricing, beginning Thursday, June 18.
This is a follow-up to my previous post about being considered a "whiner" regarding the iPhone 3GS pricing. Guess "whining" does pay off, huh? It's a small concession but I can't help feeling like AT&T only made this move due to customer feedback. Call it what you want - it gets results.
