Video Pollution
Don’t get me wrong, I am more then exited about the pico-projection progress but at the same time think of all the negative impact this could have:- People missing their bus while watching a game on the projected building.
- Video advertisements being shown in every corner possible.
- Having to watch the video projection on a wall while waiting for my doctor appointment.
- Kids fighting over wall space.
All in all, these reasons just put a smile on my face because the positive scenarios are pretty clear. Microvison tried to capture some of the positive aspects of this product with their cheezy video demos.
iPhone SDK Screenshots
I just saw the first Screenshots on iPhone Atlas. Just like in my prior mentioned iPhone SDK post – jailbreak procedure members like Nicholas “Drudge” Penree will make sure to use this new SDK creatively. View more Images here >>
iPhone SDK – June 08
 |
The "Jailbreak" driving force is: Information seeks freedom!
And since Apple announced today that they are going to deny unlocked iPhones to access the SDK / iTunes Store it is clear that this dark cloud will gain more strength in the future.
Based on what I read on the net this morning it looks as though no applications will be released to the users until June 08, but the developers can stard building them now – nice way of buying more time.The developer is able to join the program at developer.apple.com for $99. The application limits are: No Porn, Nothing illegal, No bandwidth hogs!
The business deal is that the developer sets the sell price and gets 70% revenue share on each sale. No credit card fees and payout is monthly.The App Store is the exclusive way to distribute your iPhone applications. Users will be able to browse applications, search or then download any App wireless to the phone.
No Flash for iPhone
It would be great to finally get Flash on the iPhone, but that is still going to be a wishlist item for Santa. Steve Jobs commented that the iPhone and the current Flash options ( Flash Lite / Flash 9.0… ) are not compatible.
Maybe it is the fact that Flash now allows to playback h.264 videos and the capturing method would bring video mail / video chat and video posting easily to the iPhone user. But "duh" Steve ain’t going to share that story with us! Lets see what happens tomorrow – if this long awaited SDK is any buzz worth or if the Apple Stock prices are going to react again to a low blow?
Nav N Go’s iGO My Way 8 GPS the iPhone, iPod touch edition
Here it is, the first GPS solution for the iPhone. We already saw the PSP solution but now Nav N Go have applied their iGO My May flavor to the Apple devices. Based on Engadget the prototype on display at the CeBIT supports turn by turn directions and location finding via a WiFi key or fob. The WiFi key receives the GPS data and retransmits it over WiFi while the fob offers the option to directly attaches the unit to the iPhone or iPod Toch’s docking port.
