I need to take a break from reading RSS feeds and watching the news and perhaps even talking to people for the next few days. (I say I need to, but I probably won’t…) Anyway, I hope you’ve had a good chuckle or two from watching these videos for the past week, as I have. This is the final installment, about the ability to use your own music as custom ringtones, …. or maybe not… see for yourself
Downloadable clip in mp4 format (QVGA MPEG-4 @ 30fps, stereo AAC @ 48kHz).
Stefan lost me for a while there when he said “Calamari is good, but you have to find it.” Guess I need the GPS function too! (geddit? geddit? ah never mind, I know it’s lame…)
Just enjoy the video
Downloadable clip in mp4 format (QVGA MPEG-4 @ 30fps, stereo AAC @ 48kHz).
For those of you who don’t understand Finnish (add me to the list, I really only know about 20 words, including counting from one to ten - which in this case is helpful), Jakso kaksi = episode two.
So yesterday we see iPhone agonizing over photo sharing. What about the photos it can capture in the first place?
Downloadable clip in mp4 format (QVGA MPEG-4 @ 30fps, stereo AAC @ 48kHz). Any comments about a vodcast feed? We could possibly have two feeds, one at this quality and another perhaps in 3gp format, QCIF H.263 @ 15fps and AMR-WB audio. I think that would cover most S60 devices?
Hope you’re enjoying the “commercials” by Stefan and Ricky I know I am!
This is v1.0 of the iPhone, it will take them a few iterations, but they will get it right. How many Nxx versions has Nokia produced and we still have an unresponsive (once you load a few apps and some addresses), Not enough memory (when opening any website around 500k).
Most of the negative comments that you hear about the iPhone in the US are about the high price. But this price is for an unsubsidized handset with 4G and 8G and still a lot cheaper than a comparable Nokia.
I really cannot see how Nokia will compete with their existing lineup and their announced pipeline.
Jon - but that price is NOT unsubsidised! It is subsidised with a 2-year contract! With a 2 year contract I would expect *any* phone for free (at the least! probably with spades of cashback/discounted line rental also!).
I’ve seen the iphone demo and it looks very cool (but wouldn’t you expect it to?!). But as you say, it is v1.0, and there are several missing features before I would consider buying.
It’s hard to avoid reading and hearing about the iPhone these past weeks (or perhaps even past months). You think you’d be spared from all that here on the S60 blogs? Think again!
From co-workers to fellow bloggers to family and friends, everyone seems to have an opinion about the new Apple device and everyone wants to hear what others have to say. Even if the conversation goes something like this: “I’m so sick and tired of hearing about the iPhone. So, what do you think about it?”
What do I think about it? Oh, writing all my thoughts down will be a great way to warm up for my dissertation writing (if I ever get around to that). I will say this though: if nothing else, Apple did a kick ass job in their product marketing. Even I was impressed, and I’m not one who usually buy into the marketing hype.
But let’s not have all these wordy paragraphs distract from the main attraction of this post: the first of six installments of “N95 vs iPhone commercials” (parodies of the Mac vs PC ones). These are a joint production by Ricky of Symbian-Guru.com and Stefan from IntoMobile.com. What are they about? Just watch and find out:
Here’s a version in mp4 format (QVGA MPEG-4 @ 30fps, stereo AAC @ 48kHz) that you can download and play back on most S60 3rd Edition handsets. Speaking of which, what do ya’ll think of a video podcast feed for this blog? Seeing that Kevin and I occasionally embed videos in our posts, would it be convenient if you can download the same videos and play them back on device? If so, please let us know what Nokia S60 devices you use so we can prepare the clips in the format most suited for everyone.
Not as funny as the others… the gay thing… well, I didn’t know the Nokia N95 was ignorant. You almost had it and then you lost it.
Agreed… not only offensive, but you lose any momentum you had going at a clever statement.
And Carol, evidently you’re no better.
I Lol’d.
I’m still Lolling.
lol
Eeehhh. Gay comment stupid, not funny. Makes the N95 look like a frat boy.
LAME !!
NOT FUNNY !!
STUPID !!
