Jeremy Salvador created a new iPhone DSLR blog to document the steps he is taking to create a DSLR iPhone and posted the following video from Vid-Atlantic all show with an iPhone 4 with OWLE Bubo and EnCinema 35mm Adapter using the Canon EF 50mm f1.8 SLR lens.

At long last after much discussion, the iPhone will be making its debut on Verizon’s CDMA cellular network in January 2011. So far this is unofficial, but was reported by Bloomberg who had 2 sources within Apple/Verizon.
The timing is interesting given that the iPhone 4G was just released on AT&T’s network. Six (6) months is not a terribly long time to wait for Apple’s latest incarnation of the iPhone on an arguably better network. What remains to be seen is what Verizon will sell those phones and plans for and how competitive it will be with AT&T who has recently moved away from unlimited data plans.
Computers have been helping musicians for decades now, particularly as once very expensive studio equipment have been turned into software for convenient and easy home use. If you’ve been playing guitar for a while, you might remember the myriad of effects boxes you needed to tune your guitar sound. Well, software (like AmpliTube) has helped guitarists and bassists to eliminate or at least simplify their gear.
Now, IK Multimedia has put out a version of AmpliTube for the iPhone. It needs an adapter accessory called the AmpliTube iRig which plugs into your iPhone and you plug your guitar into the iRig ($39.99).
The screenshots alone are amazing as there are 3 stompboxes (effects), 1 amp+cabinet and 2 mics in the free version of AmpliTube. There is also an LE version ($2.99) and a Full version ($19.99) which comes with 11 stompboxes, 5 amps+cabinets and 2 mics.
Stompbox effects include delay, fuzz, distortion and more, while amps include clean, crunch, lead, metal and bass.

Whether you have an iPhone or some other phone, now is a great time to move up to a new smartphone like the new Apple iPhone 4, new Android based smartphone like the HTC EVO 4G or HTC Incredible, or even a new BlackBerry, Samsung, LG, or Motorola smartphone. However, before we get into our iPhone 4 vs. Android and others evaluation, we can probably save you some time by offering this recommendation: if you have an AT&T phone then an iPhone 4 is the obvious choice especially if you already have an unlimited data plan. Otherwise, the HTC EVO 4G on Sprint or the HTC Incredible on Verizon is a very tempting alternative to the new Apple iPhone 4. Here’s our analysis based on what we feel are the most important considerations.
…
Apple released iOS 4 today available for download through iTunes 9.2. Some of the 100 features include multitasking, folders, better unified email, new iBooks app, playlist creation from your iPhone, 5x digital zoom, tap to focus video, faces and places in Photos, home screen wallpaper, Gift apps (to send apps to family and friends as a gift), spell checking and wireless keyboard support.
There are some serious reasons to upgrade, but are you going to move away from your jailbroken iPhone? Oh, you want to jailbreak your iPhone?
Rather than write only about Apple’s iPhone 4 launch that set records by selling out 600,000 pre-orders well in advance of launch day, the Geeks have decided to tell a tale of two mobile phone releases: Sprint’s release of the HTC EVO 4G and AT&T’s pre-order release of Apple’s iPhone 4.

It’s official (according to BGR and Engadget), the iPhone 4 pre-orders have been completely sold out and anyone who was actually able to place an order after 1:30p Pacific will get their iPhone between June 25th and July 5th. If you were unable to pre-order, you still might be able to walk in on launch day without a pre-order and get one of the unallocated units… good luck if you try!
Engadget was able to obtain the following confirmation from AT&T:
“Because of the incredible interest in iPhone 4, today was the busiest online sales day in AT&T history. As of Tuesday afternoon, customers who preorder iPhone 4 moving forward will receive their device on June 25 or later, depending on when the order is placed. We’ll email customers with confirmation once their order is placed, and again when it ships. In addition, we will have devices available on a first-come, first-serve basis in our stores beginning on June 24.”
Ordering through the AT&T site is down, must be June and time to pre-order the new iPhone… You’d think AT&T would have learned their lesson by now.
AT&T has failed again under the demand for pre-orders of the iPhone 4. Gadget blogs throughout the blog-iverse are reporting that the connections to AT&T have been failing since this morning. Most people see the error included in the image above (taken during my attempts this morning), “Your session expired”, “Your request couldn’t be processed” or simply “Processing information.”

Gina Trapani from LifeHacker fame wrote a thesis on Apple’s Advertising and Aesthetics on her blog called Smarterware. While we don’t typically talk about other people’s blog entries or opinions, Gina’s article explains how Apple sells product and is well worth a read.
The article, “Lessons from Apple on Advertising and Aesthetics“, describes Apple product advertising with a word or two speaking about aesthetics of Apple products. Her article is worth a read.
I wanted to expand on Gina’s article by mentioning how Steve Jobs’ presentations are Apple’s largest advertisement through his modus operandi as he steps on stage at a forum like WWDC to describe the latest “insanely great” products and features. Regardless of whether you are a Apple fanboy or not, if you remove your prejudices you must agree that Steve Jobs can present and speak better than any technology leader. Why is that?

Give your dad a universal remote control for Father’s Day with this iPhone utility that plugs into the dock connector and, using an app from the iTunes app store, turns the iPhone into a universal remote control.
The i-Got-Control Universal Remote allows you to use your iPhone as… you guessed it… a universal remote. Unlike that crappy universal remote that came with your cable box, the i-Got-Control allows you to control thousands of different devices via an intuitive touchscreen interface. If for some reason the obscure contraption you own isn’t on the list, you can learn its codes and save them as a new device.
