    Buy an LG phone. My Env took some amazingly good pics and my Env3 is almost as good, even without the autofocusing lens.

    @Mark Wilson: Good on ya! That is cool that for no other reason, you just did something that even 5 years ago would have been difficult without some expensive equipment. I am not sure what phone you are using, but I am guessing that you put it in some waterproof enclosure costing maybe $50. That along with a very multi-use phone just allowed you to make you own on water surf video.
    That is just cool, all by itself.

    In reply to Ideas We Like: iPods With Cameras
    Geez, next thing you know someone will be adding cameras to our shoes or some shit. I can see the use in a camera being added to the Touch, it's connected to the 'net and does browsing/email. But a camera on a iPod classic or Nano? What's the use, oh wait, it's just Apples way of convincing people with a PMP that's at least one year old (or less) that they need a new one. Well played Apple, well played indeed.

    @RobotVampire: And what exactly is the problem with cameras in shoes? Given the predilection of today's female movie/tv/music stars not to wear underbritches, I can only see an upside.

    I doubt this will be the disruptive product Gizmodo expects. Cameraphone sensors are a piece of crap compared to even the cheapest end of the "typical video-recording bricks of the genre", so it's not going to compete at all on the footage quality, especially in the dark. It's not going to compete on price either: the competition there is the Flip Video, which is $75. The really serious competition is the $150 stills camera with optical zoom which most people already own, or the cameraphone in their pocket which will likely take video every bit as good.


    Now, the iPod Touch would have the video editing and uploading going for it. Those are big pluses, especially for convenience. It's not going to shake up the personal digital camera market though.

    @Sockatume: You assume, though, that the leading reason most people buy a cheap camera is image quality. I'd argue that more and more of them are interested in getting a quick photo, and being able to share that image with their friends via Flickr, Facebook, YouTube, etc. Slap that into an iPod Touch with the capability to wirelessly put the photo/video onto Facebook within 2 minutes of it happening, and the camera market will lose a TON of share to Apple.


    Like me, for instance: I took my little Canon to our 4th of July bbq this weekend. If I had the chance to buy a new iPod that could let me take reasonably similar photos plus check my email, play movies/songs, etc? I'll switch in a heartbeat. I think many people are in the same boat.

    All those tiny little rolls of curled film that replicate a shutter look fragile. How practical is that? The first time I hurl my phone against the wall after a heated conversation, I wouldn't be surprised if they break.

    United Socialists of Amerika! Confiscate all iPhones and cameras! You will obey, and submit! And be triple-taxed and thank the grey-bald-fat-politicos that giggle "teehee" as they take the Capital Wasteland Undreground railway for another ride (meanwhile getting a pedicure from their Lobbyists).

    Bad cops no doughnut!


    Um from the original Blog it appears to be a (two actually) pretty slam dunk case of false arrest. Believe it or not there are actually laws that tell cops what they can and can't do. These laws detail the necessary steps to detain someone. One of the steps is informing the detainee why he is being detained (oh and because I said so doesn't work) and it should usually be an actual crime.

    @trrosen: You can be detained and not be arrested if the other party declines to press charges. You are only under arrest after someone presses charges. That's the reason that in many states, in cases of domestic abuse, the police are allowed to press charges, b/c many times the abused person is too scared to press charges, and they will have to release the abuser.
