Is there a better way to begin a multimedia blog than blogging about Apple’s new, up-and-coming iPhone 4? Hhhhhheck no! A couple of weeks ago, Apple announced the US release date for it’s newest baby. Although that may give us Canadians anxiety attacks, knowing that there will be millions of people walking around the street with their new bling before us, it still gives us something to nerd-out over.Let’s face it. The original iPhone, and even the 3G and 3GS models—although refreshingly simple to use—were lacking in some very key components. I’ve had the 3G model for almost two years now and have been quite content with it. I have to say though… No video recording capability, Apple? Come on! And what’s the deal with not having a flash on the back? It’s safe to say that the camera is useless! Perfect lighting is required to get a clear image, and you need the hands of a surgeon to hold the phone perfectly still to capture the image you intended! With the iPhone 4, however, this problem is obsolete. Not only does the phone come with a 5.0 megapixel (which is pretty freaking good for a camera phone!), but an LCD flash is also present, and so is the capability to record video. AND with iMovie (available in the Apps store), video editing is possible without ever having to upload your newly recorded video to your computer. There’s also fun features like auto-focus and tap-to-focus.
I like taking self-portraits of myself, be it from my webcam, to my digital camera, to my phone… That being said, not only do I look like a tool while trying to twist my phone around so that I can get myself right in the center of the photo, but I also rarely do manage to get myself in the center of the photo. And the look on my face is usually one of frustration, disgust, or constipation. Enter iPhone 4. Problem solved! With its conveniently located front-facing VGA (that’s nerd for awesome!) camera, I can take a photo of myself without anyone knowing I’m doing so. AND I can even have a video call with my bffs. So when I’m getting ready for a night on the town and my personal stylist is 350 km away, I can call her up and get her opinion about my ensemble in seconds—provided that she too, has an iPhone 4.
Trying to listen to internet radio, while trying to simultaneously text, email, and check facebook on the iPhone? Frustrating, time-consuming, impossible! Not anymore. Multi-tasking will finally let me fully attend to my ADD habits, so that I can do more things, all-at-once, all-right-now! If I want to play Final Fantasy, while checking my emails, while telling everyone that I’m playing Final Fantasy while checking my emails on facebook, all on my iPhone 4, I reserve the right to do so! And I reserve the right to do so without waiting a lifetime for various Apps to load!
After much consideration, it appears as though my baby is all grown up! Now, if only it could learn to read Flash! Maybe the iPhone 4T (for thuper) will sport this capability.
