Tech Tuesday: iPhone 5 rumour roundup and 3d Princesses
This week on News1130 radio in Vancouver I talked about these items: iPhone 5 Rumour Roundup: My guesses – same design as 4/4S but bigger screen (4″seems likely), new dock connector (possibly just micro USB rather than new design), LTE, improved camera (no idea what they’ll do here, better sensor?), no NFC (uptake has been…
So maybe the iPad 2 camera isn’t that bad after all
During the recent Twestival at the Vancouver Lookout, I played around with the iPad 2 camera and photobooth using the kalidescope mode. I think the results turned out pretty cool, if not a little Inception-esque. Being on top of Vancouver probably helped too: The Seabus couldn’t escape either: Even night shots turned out pretty interesting:…
Traded my Leica for a Nikon
Well, not really…but kinda. I’ve been using a fake Leica iPhone 4 skin on my iPhone for a few months now and it’s been amazing the response I get from people when they see it: But wanted something a little different. Then I found this guy’s ebay listing for something a little more up my…
Travelling without a laptop
Recently, I booked a last minute trip to Northern California for a week. Whenever I travel, I always struggle with what I will want to have on hand while away. I try to travel as light as possible, whenever possible. For this trip, I decided that I was going to start by leaving my laptop…
Using the iPad microsim with an iPhone 4
This past weekend, I had an overnight trip to the US with a friend and wanted to be able to use my iPad/iPhone while away from my Rogers 6gb dataplan. The data roaming options from Rogers (all Canadian carriers actually) are far too overpriced for casual use like a quick trip to Seattle, so I…
Remotely monitor your home with your iPhone or iPad
The other day, while spending a couple hours in line to get the new iPhone 4, my friend Mike showed me something pretty impressive on his iPhone: his entire house via remote web cameras. Using a $5 iPhone app called iCam and some cheap webcams scattered around his house, he was able to setup a…
Flipboard for iPad
A new iPad application, called Flipboard, was released last night amid much fanfare from a number of prominent folks on Twitter (Robert Scoble is who introduced it to me). After finally getting it downloaded and setup, which took awhile due to heavy demand right out of the gate, I have to say, it lives up…
Third time the charm?
Yesterday, at the World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC), Apple unveiled the latest version of the iPhone: You should watch the design video if you haven’t already seen it…it’s quite the update that I of course am looking forward to getting. Unfortunately, as of this writing, we still don’t know when the new model will be…
