Flip Video Ultra HD video review

Flip Video Ultra HD video reviewWhat better way to give you a look at Flip Video's new Ultra HD camcorder than by reviewing it on video... shot with the Ultra HD. The specs are simple: 720p / 30 FPS, 8GB of storage on-board, HDMI out, and pretty much nothing else. Still, a camera this cheap ($199.99) and this small definitely has its uses. Of course, you'll probably be distracted (like we were) by the bad, bad image stabilization issues. But don't just read about it -- take a look at the gallery...

PhaseOne P40+ medium format camera hits the streets of CopenhagenIt's been a few moments since Phase One had us lusting after one of its devices, and now the company is back with a 40 megapixel system named, appropriately enough, the P40+. Like the P65+ we peeped last year, this new guy offers two separate image-capture modes -- in this case, you're looking at either a standard mode for full 40 megapixel shooting, or a 10 megapixel Sensor+ mode that gives you a four-fold increase in light sensitivity...

Samsung intros drop-dead gorgeous SMX-C14 and SMX-C10 camcorders

Samsung intros drop-dead gorgeous SMX-C14 and SMX-C10 camcordersWe knew Samsung had a good thing going with the HMX-R10, and sure enough, that stylish has rubbed off heavily on the company's newest pair. The MX-C14 and SMX-C10 are both 'ergonomic' camcorders which boast the company's Touch of Color finish and the practically iconic Active Angle Lens. Specs wise, we're told that they include a 10x optical zoomer, Hyper Image Stabilization (oxymoron much?) and a 230,000-dot, swiveling 2.7-inch wide...

Genius G-Shot HD520 camcorder does 720p for $149It's been about a day after forever ago since we've seen a new camcorder from Genius, but if you're scouting a low-end, low-cost option that'll still capture clips at a halfway respectable resolution, you're in luck.

The six-ounce device records in MPEG-4 / H.264 format and features...

iPhone Web Usage Continues to Rise — Even On T-Mobile’s Network

Image Credit: AdMob AdMob shares its monthly smartphone data today, and the numbers provide some deeper insight into trends we’ve seen recently.

Even more surprising is how well Apple’s iPhone is doing on T-Mobile’s network when the carrier doesn’t even offer it for sale. Bear in mind that the data is limited to smartphone requests made...

Marketing iPhone Apps - The 101 Way!

Since two people I know are now professional iPhone developers, I’ve taken a bit of a closer look at the app store, the iPhone and the marketing of your app. There are a few things which I find interesting;1) Its essentially a walled garden, distribution is exclusively through the app store, so Apple owns the customer contact.2) First mover advantage was important. If you could get there first with an OK app in front of many rabid Mac fans you were guaranteed of making some money.3) There is a real...

iPhone App makes time lapse photography easy

iPhone TimeLapse Test from digitalurban on Vimeo. Here's a fun application. TimeLapse [App Store link] uses your iPhone's camera to take photos at regular intervals. You can have one photo snapped as infrequently as every 24 hours, or as often as every 10 seconds, which is about as fast as it can snap and store a photo.
