Comprehensive Video Comparision of the iPhone 3GS vs. Motorola DROID

I don’t know if you guys have seen this yet or not but, TechnoBuffalo recently did a very nice video comparison of the iPhone 3GS vs. the Motorola Droid. The video is just over 17 minutes long and covers everything from browser usability and speed to customization to maps to app availability.

I’m sure all the Droid ads may have peeked your interest… so, take a look. Personally, I’m partial to the iPhone… obviously!

EA Mobile Releases Trailer for Rock Band App

Rock Band is due to be released sometime this month. In the mean time, EA has release a teaser trailer of the app. Not a ton of game play footage but enough to make you wish they would hurry up and release it! For those of you how missed our previous post about Rock Band… I have also included screenshots and the App Description.

Friday Night Movie Night: FIFA 10

Brooke wrote an article about FIFA 10 recently but didn’t have a video. Here’s a nice video of just simple gameplay for you to check out and see if you like the game.

Stickam Viewer Now Available

Available In: App Store

Price: Free

Stickam has recently released an iPhone app that allows you to view streaming video channels live to your iPhone. It doesn’t have a ton of features but it doesn’t really seem to need them. You can sign in or create a new account. You can chat live in both horizontal and vertical mode and you can search. The channels are sorted by Featured, Friends, Shows & Social. I think I would only use it for watching twit.tv live but it would work well as a security camera for your self too. You can set up an account at Stickam.com and stream your webcam to a channel. Then load it up on your iPhone and your good to go.

Sabec Announces VideoCam™ – “World’s First iPhone 2G/3G Video Camera App”

We get quite a few Press Releases in our email everyday… this one caught me eye. Apparently Sabec, a London based company, has developed a video camera application called VideoCam. They claim that the application allows video recording capability on the iPhone 2G and 3G. Apparently VideoCam is currently in review by Apple and will be released “at a very affordable price.” I really don’t see this one making it past the review process. Read more

Firmware 3.1 Adds Video Editing Ability to iPhone 3G and iPod touch

I have heard that the 3.1 firmware gives the iPhone 3G (and the iPod touch) video editing capability so, I decided to check it out. Indeed, the firmware update does allow the iPhone 3G to edit video (without jailbreaking mind you). Below is how it works. Read more

TwitVid Update

Available In: App Store

Price: Free

TwitVid, an application that allows iPhone 3GS users to tweet videos, had it’s first update today. You will not see any visual changes to the application until firmware 3.1 is released. Once the 3.1 firmware is released, you will be able to see My Videos, Top Videos, and Control Video Quality. I do think it is a little weird to have any update with features for a firmware that is not even available yet but, you know Apple. Below is a full list of features… including the ones that affect the current version of firmware. Read more

Friday Night Movie Night: Apple Tablet Previews

Sorry we missed this last week, I was in Maryland for a conference. It was worth the wait though. There are some sweet new videos of the upcoming tablet from Apple. Of course they could be fake but they look pretty legit to me. Here’s what I’ve found:

qTweeter Update – Paste Support & Cydia Store Integration

Available In: Cydia

Price: $4.99

qTweeter, a twitter and facebook application, has been update to version 2.06. The update adds paste support. It also integrates the application into the Cydia store. For those of you who have already “purchased” (donated to) qTweeter, you will not have to purchase the application at the full $4.99. If for some reason it does not show that you already purchased the application, after you install it, it will ask you for your registration information… just enter the email address you used when you donated to the app. Read more

Friday Night Movie Night: Dark Raider

Available In: App Store

On Sale: 3.99

Friday Night Movie Night: BaDaBoo

Available In: App Store

Price: Free

This game is addicting. It’s really simple, you just swipe your ball and hit the other balls to make them change color to the same as your ball. Of course the best part is, it’s free.

TwitVid – Post Video Taken From Your iPhone To Twitter

Available In: App Store

Price: Free

I am REALLY excited about this app. First of all, it’s free, but I’d pay for this app in a heartbeat. Very very well done. Ok, let’s get on with it. TwitVid lets you post your videos taken by your iPhone 3GS to your Twitter account. Just install the app, login, either record a new video or chose an exciting one, add your tweet and you’re done! It creates a nice short URL for your tweet like this and adds it to the end: http://www.twitvid.com/0343E

The website it takes you too is very nice. It uses your background for your Twitter account and has extra features like live chat embedded in the sidebar. You can also embed this video somewhere else, chat too. The quality is very good and upload speeds on wifi were great. We’ll test more to see how EDGE and 3G workout. Another nice thing is viewers start to stream the video as you’re uploading it. So even if you’re not done uploading, they can see the beginning and it buffers as you upload. Read more
