What the camera desperately needs is a macro mode - and from the rumours we might actually get this. There are bajillions of possibilities for features when you can begin imaging printed things, such as barcodes or text... I tried doing a QR code app on iPhone, but the lack of close-range focus killed it. I had to print the codes on a quarter sheet of letter-sized paper just for the iPhone to get a reliable read.]]>Apr 7th 2009 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/iphone-3-0-video-recording-interface-compass-support-spotted/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/iphone-3-0-video-recording-interface-compass-support-spotted/Apr 7th 2009 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/iphone-3-0-video-recording-interface-compass-support-spotted/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/iphone-3-0-video-recording-interface-compass-support-spotted/Apr 7th 2009 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/iphone-3-0-video-recording-interface-compass-support-spotted/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/iphone-3-0-video-recording-interface-compass-support-spotted/Apr 7th 2009 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/iphone-3-0-video-recording-interface-compass-support-spotted/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/iphone-3-0-video-recording-interface-compass-support-spotted/
What makes you think anyone cares? What you are doing is accentuating the perception that anyone who uses an Apple product is a wanker.

Your stuff isn't new. It's the same crap repeated over and over again. The fact that some fart application was added to the app store isn't noteworthy.

Also, it would help if you got your facts straight about Apple's firsts. First browser with full HTML support ... lol.

Finally, 3.0 does nothing but provide functionality that should have existed in the first place. Let's not get too crazy about taking video with your phone or voice dialing. All features that have been present on both smart and dumb phones for years.]]>Apr 7th 2009 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/iphone-3-0-video-recording-interface-compass-support-spotted/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/iphone-3-0-video-recording-interface-compass-support-spotted/Apr 7th 2009 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/iphone-3-0-video-recording-interface-compass-support-spotted/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/iphone-3-0-video-recording-interface-compass-support-spotted/Apr 7th 2009 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/iphone-3-0-video-recording-interface-compass-support-spotted/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/iphone-3-0-video-recording-interface-compass-support-spotted/

So complain all you want. At the end of the day, the iPhone is still more popular than most the smartphones that you guys like. The fact also remains that people bought the iPhone in record numbers because it had features that no other smartphones had at the time:

MULTI-TOUCH
A FULL INTERNET HTML browser, instead of a WAP browser.
Visual Voicemail
An App Store
And a bunch of other things I'm too lazy to write.



I like how John Gruber at Daringfireball.net explains Apple's approach.

"If there’s a formula to Apple’s success over the past 10 years, that’s it. Start with something simple and build it, grow it, improve it, steadily over time. Evolve it. The iPhone exemplifies this strategy. There’s a long list of features many experts and pundits claimed the original 1.0 iPhone needed but lacked. Ends up it didn’t need any of them. Nice to have is not the same thing as necessary. But things the iPhone did have, which other phones lacked, truly were necessary in terms of providing the sort of great leap forward in the overall experience that Apple was shooting for."


That's all that needs to be said about the issue. Short and sweet.

You guys will say anything to avoid accepting the reality that Apple DOES innovate now and again. Calm down, the world won't explode if you accept the truth.

And to all you guy who claim to like the iPhone, why aren't you complaining about people like Look_Around_You and Hamidxa? Those trolls say exactly the same thing every day in numerous posts about Apple and you guys are silent. I point out how many apps the App Store has and you go berserk with rage.

Me thinks you don't really like Apple. You're just saying you do so you look impartial while you bash me.

I realize that they are just now adding features that have been on lots of smarts phones for a while, but if Apple waited to release the iPhone until they had every possible feature on it, it would still not be out yet.]]>Apr 7th 2009 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/iphone-3-0-video-recording-interface-compass-support-spotted/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/iphone-3-0-video-recording-interface-compass-support-spotted/

What relevance does listing the number of iPhone applications have to do with the iPhone 3.0 software and video recording? I could see if the topic was about the AppStore or Windows mobile store (whatever it's called).

By the way, I'm a huge Apple fan.]]>Apr 7th 2009 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/iphone-3-0-video-recording-interface-compass-support-spotted/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/iphone-3-0-video-recording-interface-compass-support-spotted/
You are such a fanboy!!!

1) App Store has 32000+ apps? I'm sorry but it hasn't!
There are 3491 books which are *books* and not real *apps*.
There are a lot of apps which are only free trial versions of pro apps. Thank to Apple that not allow traditional trial versions with serial numbers like on other platforms. Search *lite* on http://appshopper.com/ and you will find almost 3000 free and lite apps.
32800-3491-3000= around 26000-27000 apps
2) It's the first phone to have over 30,000 apps??? Palm has already over 32000 *real* apps (www.palmgear.com)
3) On Windows Mobile, Palm etc. you can also use Java, emulators, etc. for more apps. Not on the iPhone thanks to Apple policy.
4) What about the quality of apps? iPhone is the only device where you can find so many INutilities like iBeer, iFart, iSteam etc. etc. and so many games and entertainments apps.

Grow up and find a job instead of writing fanboy' posts on Engadget.]]>Apr 7th 2009 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/iphone-3-0-video-recording-interface-compass-support-spotted/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/iphone-3-0-video-recording-interface-compass-support-spotted/
Ok. So, your first reply was interesting to read and you did make some good points, but with your second reply you hung yourself. And it quickly got worse after that. If there's something Apple fanboys hate (you should know this) more than anti-trolls it's the Apple fan trolls themselves. Because who cares what the AA trolls says anyway? They're the ones missing out on the products, right? I'm still happy, as should you. You make all other fans look bad.

Son (running home from school): Mom, Jimmy just got an iPhone and it looks really cool! Can I get it for Christmas this year?!!!!

Mom: No, son, I was talking to Mary from church this past Sunday, and her boy wants one too. They had to switch cell phone carriers in order to get it for him! There is NO WAY we're paying those cancellation fees just so you can have a fancy phone.

Son: BUT MOMMMMMM

Mom: Go upstairs and do your homework!

...(Son runs upstairs and browses Engadget)...

Engadget: "iPhone 3.0 video recording interface, compass support spotted? (Update: voice dialing, too)"

Son: ...I KNOW WHAT I'LL DO!!! (typing) "I highly doubt the video will be any good, considering how under-par the camera is on current iPhones!"

Commence flame war.

Seriously though, I'm glad to see iPhone catching up to Android. I hope the iPhone surpasses Android someday because that means Android will have to react, which = more functionality for all! Isn't competition great?

BUT, half the replies to tell PACMan to STFU actually use the quotes he posted that Anti-Apple people use (should've had features, "dumb phone", "finally has", etc...) I'm hoping it is intentional irony and not just ignoring the fact that someone most people don't like has called you out, and you reply by responding in the way the caller-outer has predicted.

Predicting hardware upgrades and software updates from a company that does both of these on a regular, consistent basis (iPhones in June, Pro stuff at WWDC, iPods in September....) is not news, it's just paying attention.

Related: I predict new iPods this fall. Quote that.

I'm an Apple fanboy P.A.C. Check my posts. Regardless, stupid shit like what you're pulling is pissing all of us off. Even me.
The number of apps has NO relation to what was posted by Engadget. Even if it was about the App Store or something, then make sure they're talking about how many apps are in the store and not just Skype or whatever before you pull out the numbers.
It makes no sense doing it randomly like that.

"Dude, I heard the iPhone will be getting video recording! Sweet"
"Yeah man, and a compass!"
*You join*
"You know the App Store has 26456364378464637838 apps?"

People that wants more mega pixels are just clueless. 2 mega pixels is more than enough.
