Dear people who make this crap; The iPhone is a PHONE. A PHONE. Hear that? A.... it's coming... PHONE.

If I see someone using products like this on the street, I may just have to slap them. I would like to think I would practice non-violence, but I wonder if a good slap, or maybe a punch, might wake this type of person up.

Then again, maybe we should just invent an iPhone accessory that looks cool, but leads to an extreme high chance of accidental deaths and then let Darwin Theory weed out the fanatic fanboys.]]>Jul 7th 2009 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/apples-iphone-3gs-gets-two-more-handheld-video-mounts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/apples-iphone-3gs-gets-two-more-handheld-video-mounts/Jul 7th 2009 6:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/apples-iphone-3gs-gets-two-more-handheld-video-mounts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/apples-iphone-3gs-gets-two-more-handheld-video-mounts/Jul 7th 2009 8:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/apples-iphone-3gs-gets-two-more-handheld-video-mounts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/apples-iphone-3gs-gets-two-more-handheld-video-mounts/

Yes, a dedicated video camera would get a better picture and offer more features, but in the fast paced news business, this could be invaluable. Think of an on-the-spot interview taken with this attachment that allows a wide angle lens and a better mic, and it gets instantly uploaded to YouTube or the interviewer's MobileMe account, where the news channel can get up-to-the minute access to footage. It's not about the camera in a phone, it's about connectivity. Until Flip puts a 3G and WiFi chip in there and can upload video from anywhere, there will be a place for camera phone accessories.

It's not for cable or network news, they have better mechanisms for this, including live links; but think of smaller sites, bloggers, channels like CurrentTV, and the like. They could find something like this useful.

To prove a point, here is a list of things that are not useful to me, but may be to others: ShamWow, Blog Trolls, overclocked processors, tampons, cat food, neck-beard conditioner, extra-large tee shirts, cigarettes, dice with more than 6 sides, Windows XP, golf clubs, Celine Dion records, a Klingon costume, and Pepsi Clear. See, these can be useful, just not to me. You should learn what words mean before you type them.

It's the sad fact that ENG teams probably will be using these and then another nail in the coffin for media quality.

Pray how did a 640x480 video stream get camera and media people excited. It's bizzare.

To get the shot on the pole the camera would need to be tilted down... not straightforward.

And in the lowpass shot the camera was bouncing up and down with the operators step, but maintains the same perspective on the video capture.

In other words, these guys are showing you what you can do with it, but not the actual (poor quality) you will be getting.

If these guys could make actual, balanced stabilizer accesories they would be making them for dedicated rigs and making gads of money. But camera people know crap when they see it so the only people who buy this will be the unsuspecting random consumer.]]>Jul 7th 2009 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/apples-iphone-3gs-gets-two-more-handheld-video-mounts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/apples-iphone-3gs-gets-two-more-handheld-video-mounts/Jul 7th 2009 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/apples-iphone-3gs-gets-two-more-handheld-video-mounts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/apples-iphone-3gs-gets-two-more-handheld-video-mounts/Jul 7th 2009 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/apples-iphone-3gs-gets-two-more-handheld-video-mounts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/apples-iphone-3gs-gets-two-more-handheld-video-mounts/Jul 7th 2009 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/apples-iphone-3gs-gets-two-more-handheld-video-mounts/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/07/apples-iphone-3gs-gets-two-more-handheld-video-mounts/It's a joke or the guy marketing it is dumb as rocks.
