Apple Store – Covent Garden, London, Opening Day
As I am sure, everybody is well aware that Apple opened a new Store in London on Saturday. And It is an impressive store. One of the biggest Apple stores in the world. Chris Pinnock and myself went there on Saturday morning to have a look around and take some pictures and Videos. I also [...]
Four iPhones, side by side.
Chris and myself had a bit of fun putting the four generations of the iPhone side by side and compare them. You can see the result below. Filmed with a Sony SR12 and edited using FinalCut Pro. Music: “Superfluous Umbrella” by the brilliant Tyler Walker.
iPhone4 Test Video, edited using iMovie on the phone
Below is really just a very quick test of the iPhone4 Video and picture quality. The short clip has been edited on the actual phone using iMovie for iOS4. iPhone 4 – Sunny Day in London from Mike Hellers on Vimeo.
DroidX and Iphone 4 Ad
Two completely different ads, released more or less on the same day. I wonder which one will actually help selling phones to a large audience? While at a technical level the DroidX is certainly very well done, it seems to target a very small group of people. The first iPhone4 ad clearly tries to target [...]
iPhone 3GS – is it really worth it?
Those who know me wont be surprised that I went out and bought the new iPhone 3GS straight away. From all the information that had been released at WWDC it was clear that the changes were not massive, but it was really only a small upgrade. A lot of the new features are actually part [...]
Gigapan images on your iPhone
Last december Microsoft released an iPhone version of Seadragon, which is a viewer for Deep Zoom images. By default, Seadragon can not be used to view GigaPan images, but thanks to Daniel Gasienica, this is now different. Daniel released GigaPan Mobile, which is basically a Python script on top of Google App Engine with know-how [...]
TuneWiki and qik finally on the iPhone 2.0
Until today jailbreaking your iPhone running 2.0 or higher did not offer many exciting applications. of course there was winterboard which allows you to use thems and personalize the look of your phone, which is really nice (like summerboard on the old software), and of course there is ssh, terminal, Bossprefs etc..but still noting the [...]

Pre-ordering a 3G iPhone through O2 – what a nightmare! – updated

T-Mobile UK causing problems for unlocked iPhones?
I am a happy user of an unlocked iPhone since mid last year. I own one since they came out in the us during late summer. Since at the time, I was unable to buy the iPhone here in the UK, my only option was to use an unlocked US phone. The method to unlock [...]
(Virtual) GPS on the iPhone
One of the features missing on the iPhone is GPS. I was used to have it on the Nokia N95, and although I didn’t use it very often, it came in handy a few times. Well, the iPhone has Assisted GPS since today. Well, sort of. When checking for new application within the installer, [...]

$200 iPhone price drop – And what happened then…
The announcement of the $200 price drop on the 8Gig iPhone did not only cause positive reactions. A lot of the early adopters weren’t too happy to see such a huge drop in Price after only two months. What made it worse, was a comment from Steve Jobs in an interview: “Q: What do you [...]
Plenty of new iPods
Looks like all of the different rumours were true. And my prediction weren’t really wrong either, but then again, I guess a lot of the stuff was kind of predictable, although it was a surprise that really nearly all of the different rumours were correct this time. – iPod shuffle “Product red, and other new [...]
The beat goes on
As a lot of you know by now, Apple has scheduled a “special event” this Wednesday. I am not going to repeat all of the rumours of what will be announced, but, jut for the fun of it, here is my prediction: It will be the long awaited new iPod. Using the OSX and having [...]
iPhone – loving it
As some of you know, I recently bought an iPhone. Since it is not yet available here in Europe, I got it from the US. Activation was easy, which basically gave me a really nice wireless iPod. Well, since today, using a TurboSIM, I finally have a fully unlocked iPhone, working with t-mobile over here [...]
