Reactions to iPhone 4 from WWDC 2010

Nice battery life. But as long as I can squeeze a day out of my phone, I'm happy.

since im older than 15 i have no need for my phone to be an xbox.

A gryro huh. Do they make solid state gyros?

 

[akarol]

10:50AM Big cheers for that.

10:50AM "Number four, we have another new piece of hardware. We're adding a gyroscope."

Fanbois are so easily amused.

 

[Lockeskidney]

yea like i want to spend more money on apps (games) than i do on my xbox

lol yep

that whole gyroscope business is going to further fragment the app store. just a thought.
old ipods, ipads, etc wont be compatible.

10:53AM "So that's number four. Number five: this is a great one. A whole new camera system."

 

[Lockeskidney]

teh camera is what im interested in

 

[akarol]

What's the officially announced talk/standby hours for the EVO? I know the HD2's are 6.3/490 hours, so the iPhone still far behind with standby.

10:54AM "Now everybody loves to talk about megapixels, but we tend to ask the question how do we make better pictures? Megapixels are nice, but what these cameras are really about is capturing photons and low light photography. So we've gone from 3 megapixel to 5 megapixel, but we're using a backside illuminated sensor."

10:55AM "In addition to that, when most people increase megapixels they make them smaller, but we've kept ours the same size. They don't capture less photons. 5x digital zoom, tap to focus, and we've got an LED flash."

 

[akarol]

Nice move on backlit sensor. MP pumping is useless IMHO.

 

[Lockeskidney]

he's right about mp. on a small phone mp dont mean anything. apple has always done well with their cameras

Now there ya go... you're catching up to phones we've had 2 years ago. Good job!

 

[Edge767]

10:56AM "So we're really happy. We think we have a great camera. But that's not all... because it also records HD video."

 

[akarol]

Knowing apple, they probably will outperform the EVO's abysmal HD recording quality. I hope it's something we can remedy via software.

 

[akarol]

10:57AM "We pioneered tap to focus, and we now have it for video... and we have one click sharing... and the LED flash will stay on for video recording. You can record, edit, and then with a few taps email it right on the phone."

Hmmm, I thought Sony did. Oh, wait... they did!

 

[Edge767]

10:57AM "It's pretty remarkable, but we're going even further." iMovie for iPhone!

 

[GenericMessage]

Please explain how IPS is better than OLED.

Because if Jobs says it, millions of tool-bags everywhere will believe him.








I will set the record straight that it is NOT better than OLED.

 

[Cr12]

imovie is pretty cool.
