1. Verizon MiFi a game-changer for certain iPhone users
If you are a road warrior who needs data access not just through your iPhone but also via a notebook, you basically have three options [...] For us photographers, should the next version of the iPod Touch feature a camera, the MiFi would make switching from an iPhone to an iPod Touch so much easier… [...]
2. Photogene v. PhotoForge: The fight for the best photo editor on the iPhone
When I bought my current car more than 8 years ago, one of the leading car magazines ran a comparison test with 9 other cars in its class. My car came in 6th. In the story, they ran a sidebar where they asked the test drivers which car they would prefer for everyday driving. The drivers all pointed to my car. The same is true with [...]
3. How will Apple de-feature the 3rd gen iPod Touch?
With more and more rumors about the upcoming 3rd gen iPod Touch popping up as we get closer to the yet-to-be-announced iPod/Music event that Apple traditionally holds in September, there is still one question that I keep pondering: [...]
4. Perfectly Clear images on your iPhone

Apple’s iPhone gets “jail-broken” (the best Marketing term for “hacked” that I’ve ever heard) quite frequently — in most cases because people don’t like the service provider or they would like to use it in countries where the iPhone is not officially available.

[...] He sent us this iPhone picture he shot of the Sausalito marina at sunset. I figured I would use our sponsor’s software, Aurora, to try and do some quick edits. It literally took me less than 2 minutes to apply some edits to the contrast, lighting, color richness and exposure to get the ‘after’ image. I think you’ll agree that these edits make the picture even better. [...]
[...] I don’t really need that much. A P&S form factor, but with an APS-C sensor, interchangeable lenses, manual mode, optical viewfinder, good low-light performance and RAW mode. That’s it. [..] The good news is: We are getting there. The one that probably comes closest right now is the new [...]
[...] when I saw that there is now a magnetic ball with twelve stalks and LED illumination, which you can attach to any surface to shed light on what you are doing I thought ‘now that’s something useful!’ [...]
[...] I certainly wouldn’t buy one that looks as unattractive as this one does. Now, I realize that Kodak is having hard times and may not be able to afford the best product designers, but come on! [...]
[...] As a photographer, though, I couldn’t help but empathize with the poor wedding photographer in the background, who’s trying to figure out what he should do to cover this amazing event as is it unfolding. If there was a clear use case for a hybrid D-SLR that combines HD video with still images, this is it. [...]
Joe and I went on a morning walk in the North Beach neighborhood in San Francisco this morning. Among other things, we wanted to test some iPhone photo software for upcoming reviews. With the fog clearing, there was a plethora of photo opportunities. A great one was [...]
[...] On my work notebook (Lenovo Thinkpad running Windows XP) I have 5 browsers installed (IE8, Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera). Depending on the browser I use I get different search results. So I ran the following test: [...]
