Camera Connection Kit for iPad but not for iPhone?

You wouldn’t know how bad I wish my good old camera adapter for iPod can work for my iPhone. Wondering if the new Camera Connection Kit for iPad will work with iPhone? If it can, then I’ll probably just buy it. But then it probably will not work 8(

Good view on Flash & iPad from Zeldman

Here’s a good read from Zeldman.com – “Flash, iPad, Standards“. Will this be the true wake up calls for those creating non-accessible web and for those who paid the minimal fee to create their corporate non-accessible web sites? We’ll see about that and I hope this will really happen as a web professional.

In the article, it mentions Apple not putting Flash onto iPhone and iPad isn’t about revenge. It occurs to me killing Newton MessagePad and reinventing another personal device is a revenge from Uncle Stevie J to John Sculley 8p

5-megapixel camera in the next iPhone

OmniVision Technologies has secured orders from Apple for 5-megapixel camera sensors destined for the next-generation iPhone reported by DigiTimes. That’s good news but not that exciting for the next iPhone. I would rather see more bug fix & enhancement in iPhone OS 4.0 myself.

Cheaper iPhone on Monday?!

Rumor mills are digging hard about anything Apple for sure. A number of sources say Apple will introduce a cheaper iPhone as soon as next Monday during WWDC.

It’s logical to reduce the price of iPhone to get more momentum in its market share under the current condition of economy. But I wonder what would be the feature left out. Right now, for those not interesting in iPhone are saying it is lack of features they really need or not up to their expectations. If there are more features to be removed from it, will it piss off more people? Or will it gain some new ground for the lower budget consumers?

iPhone for 2009

Seems iPhone 3G will come in 2 flavors with 3 different configurations – iPhone 3G (8GB), iPhone 3G Pro (16GB & 32GB). This summer AT&T in US is bring 7.2Mbps to their 3.5G network. The third generation’s physical appearance remains mostly the same except that it will have matte finishing on the back. Hope it will be as good as the original Netwon MessagePad.

Video is coming iPhone but not third generation?

These functions are less likely to make it to the July release this year. Will this be a software upgarde later, meaning iPhone third generation is already using this ARMv7 CPU or it’s targeting for the fourth generation iPhone in 2010?!
