Here I go again, Apple this, Apple that. I can't help it. I've tried to fight the geeky title 'fanboy' but it seems to draw ever nearer. Ok, the reasons why I'm not a fanboy:
- I won't buy a product if I don't think it's up to the job.
- I buy products to do stuff, not just to complete the collection.
- I don't have every product Apple has ever made (although they're racking up).
Seriously, I don't have an iPad, or an iMac, or a MacBook Air. In fact I only have four products that work fairly seamlessly together. I can write about that in another post though. My point is I'm not a fanboy. Yet.
So, on Thursday we woke up and green had turned to white, an amazing amount of snow overnight. After suffering cabin fever throughout Thursday I was delighted to wake up on Friday to find the same snow but with that big yellow orb in the sky shining bright and not a cloud to be seen.
My first thought: photos. The iPhone 4 has surprised me for a number of reasons, one being the quality of the camera. Yes, the flash was never going to be the best in the world, and in low light subjects still turn out a little grainy. However, when the sun comes out I seem to get comments of amazement. With its 5-megapixels of loveliness, it weighs in at less than my point-and-shoot, but with the HDR function (where it takes three photos and puts them all together to make the colour nice) I have to say I think it's better. Throw in the geotagging and the HD video recording and, well...this is where the other products come in. I got home, turned on my Apple TV and showed my photos straight away, nice and big. Ooh...aaahhh...the living room lit up like Guy Fawkes night fireworks.
The iPhone 4 does most things well, that's why I have one. To carry one less item around - like my camera - makes my life easier. Well done Apple. Now let's get that video streaming from the iPhone gallery sorted.
