Again with the photo obsession?
It’s quite well recognised that the iPhone’s camera isn’t much to write home about.
It’s a heck of a lot better than the one included on the iPad, though…
I’ll let that one sink in for a while. It may come to you, it may not. In the meantime, I’ve delved once again into the world of iPhone photo Apps with a look at Panorama stitching apps for PC Authority:
Amazing Apps For Your iPhone: Panorama Photos: “The iPhone’s camera is, as we’ve discussed before , not the greatest bit of optical equipment on the planet. With the right Apps, however, you can make an ordinary camera into something extraordinary.”
It’s that fruit company again…
Another day, another batch of Apples. Yeah, I write about Apple a lot, although I strongly resist the whole “fanboy” tag.
Firstly, at MacTheBlog, I exclusively reveal all of Apple’s plans for the upcoming year. Sort of.
MacTheBlog: 2010: The Year Apple Makes Contact? “Working out exactly what Apple’s actually up to at any given moment is a tricky business…”
And then at CNET.com.au, I hop back into University. It’s been a long, long time since I was at University, although strangely some people I knew who were studying while I was there are still studying there (albeit, in most cases, not the same degrees).
Universities Online: How to pick the uni that’s right for you via iTunes: “OK, you’ve got your ATAR/ENTER/TER. How do you pick the best uni? The one with the best bar? The cutest girls/guys? The one that just happens to be closest to home?”
Take the time to listen to the collective heartbeat…
It’s not just the growing of fancy Mo’s that I’ve been busy with this week. Oh no. I’ve been writing and testing and reviewing and writing and testing and reviewing and writing and…
You get the idea.
At CNET.com.au, there’s these two rather contrasting products:
WD My Passport Essential SE 1TB: “Western Digital’s 1TB Passport drive isn’t pretty or cheap, but its bland look belies the storage and backup goodies within.”
Withings WifiScale: “We can’t fault the technical genius of the Withings WifiScale, but at the same time you do pay a lot of money for a lot of gimmicks in a bathroom scale.”
The Passport’s fair enough, but I suspect the scale’s the strangest thing I’ve reviewed all year. Those who follow my twitter account will know what I mean…
Meanwhile, back in much more familiar territory, GadgetGuy.com.au has this:
Apple MacBook 13 inch: “The updated Macbook brings excellent battery life and otherwise solid performance in a stylish body. It’s not a complete re-imaginging of the Macbook concept, but it does bring the Macbook line more into line with the more expensive Pro models.”
And keeping with the Apple theme, PC Authority has not one, but two guides to iPhone Apps:
Amazing Apps for your iPhone: Fitness apps“It’s not that tough to turn your iPhone into your own personal gym and fitness instructor, however, and get your health and fitness back on track.”
Amazing Apps for your iPhone: Christmas Apps: “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas on your iPhone. Here’s seven great Christmas-themed apps.”
Now isn’t it a shame that sometimes money buys you everything and nothing…
A couple of reviews and a small feature for today’s efforts to lower the mortgage. First at PC Authority:
How to get legal movies online quota free: “How can you get movies as cheaply as possible? We compare TiVo, BigPond Movies, and iTunes Movies.”
And then two reviews at CNET.com.au.
Dell Inspiron Mini 1210: “Tastes and needs will vary, but we’re still not sold on the “bigger” form factor for netbooks…”
Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds: “If you asked any PC user to describe Lenovo’s ThinkPad line, the chances are that phrases like “solid”, “boxy” and “heavy” would come to the fore pretty quickly. It’s a very apt description for the W700ds, the biggest and boxiest of them all…”
