Byte Size Reviews: iPhone 4
I had to make a quick video giving my thoughts on the iPhone 4. Overall, I love it. I was ready to jump ship with the announcement of the EVO 4G until I realized the battery life on that phone was horrible. I’m not having any issues with the iPhone that most people are claiming to have. If you have any questions, feel free to get in contact with me and I’ll help you out.
I wanted to see what kind of video the iPhone 4 would spit out, so I shot a little of my game room. The first thing that was very apparent to me was the lack of image stabilization. I do not and probably will never have steady hands but I’m not THAT bad. Overall I’m pleased with the video that came out of the phone. People need to remember that it’s not some top of the line camera and align their feelings accordingly.
Plus I’m sure someone will make an app…for that. I’m sorry.
Streaming apps like uStream Live Broadcaster and Qik Live have been awesome for those who both own an iPhone 3GS and enjoy streaming their life across the Internet. Naturally, you’d think that these apps would be great on the new and improved iPhone 4 right? Unfortunately, you’d be dead wrong.
Both the Qik and uStream apps give the video this strange blue tint that is only visible to the viewers of your stream. The footage on the iPhone itself is crystal clear and shows no signs of Smurf land shenanigans. I’m guessing this is probably an issue that can easily be fixed with an update to the code of each program but as of right now, I’d have to recommend staying away from either.
I know nothing about this comic book called Red but this trailer caught my attention. I’ll have to keep an eye out for this one. The cast stars awesome people like Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, and Mary-Louise Parker. There’s probably a ton more but I only mentioned the people that I like.
Needless to say, I have issues. I’ve only paid fully for 1 of these phones because I refuse to pay retail for most things. You’d be surprised how much a 3G or 3GS goes for on eBay these days. Expect a “review” either tomorrow or Monday. Never post things on the weekends is my new motto.
