Last week, Samsung Canada loaned me their latest flagship Android smartphone, the Galaxy S III (or S3 as the cool kids call it) ahead of their big launch June 21th in North America: After being thoroughly impressed with the Galaxy Note, I was excited to try out the latest generation of the Galaxy line. Like…
After a disappointing experience with an Android tablet recently, it was timely that Samsung offered to loan me their latest Android device, the Galaxy Note. This is a bit of a strange device though…it’s a 5.3″ tablet that is also a phone…commonly referred to as a ‘phablet’. I got the chance to briefly use one…
Last night I finally caved and picked up an ASUS Transformer Prime TF201-B1-GR and the mobile keyboard dock for it. Yes, I actually bought a non-Apple tablet (that thinks it’s a laptop). I’ll wait while you soak that in. After seeing both Derek and Morten, in the span of about 6 hours (ironically on the…
Let me start by saying I don’t hate Instagram, I’m just not a fan…this post is why I love Hipstamatic (for the iPhone) and use it constantly. This post also isn’t about the sharing community that is behind Instagram (which is pretty impressive)…anything that inspires people to take more photos is awesome in my book….
As regular readers here will know, I’ve been lucky enough to have seen the Chevy Volt from million dollar prototype stage during the 2010 Olympics, all the way through to the final, shipping product that I got to test drive in Alaska earlier this year. One thing that I wanted to do from the beginning…
I first saw this app a few months ago, well before I had decided to get into 3D printing. Trimensional is an iPhone app that lets you take 3D photos. I thought it was just a fun camera app to make animated gifs like these: That is until they added the ability (via a modest…
I stumbled across a very interesting iPhone app today called Toon Paint. It lets you take or process iPhone photos into line drawings and then gives you the ability to paint them. I love the look of the converted images and actually prefer the high contrast black and white output rather than the painted images…possibly…
Likely my last case for the iPhone 4 because it’s awesome and because the iPhone 5 is due out later this year…but I’ve said that before. It’s from the folks that make my favourite iPhone camera app, Hipstamatic and made by Agent 18. It’s really overpriced ($40) for what it is and doesn’t offer much…
This morning I had an opportunity to check out the new tablet on the block, the Blackberry Playbook from Research in Motion. Of course, I had to try the camera(s) on the Playbook (shot with the rear camera in low light): It has a 3mp front facing camera and a 5mp rear facing camera which…
Recently, my friends at LG loaned me a couple of their new smartphones running Microsoft’s latest mobile operating system, Windows Phone 7. The one on the left, the LG-C900B (aka the LG Quantum) has a slide out keyboard and the one on the right is the LG-E900h (aka LG Optimus 7) which is a full…
