Next iPhone to make you a film editor?

Julie — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 13:08:03 +0000

Rumors of new iPhone capabilities are coming hot and heavy, and we’re still two months away from the device’s rumored release window.

As we reported, the pre-release iPhone 3.0 software includes a reference to a Broadcom communications chip, the BCM4329, which supports 802.11n WiFi, FM reception and transmission, and the beefier Bluetooth 2.1+EDR protocol, which includes Near Field Communication (NFC) auto-paring.

Hidden hints in the latest beta

Austrian übergeek Ben Miller discovered the .png files when digging around inside the beta. With names such as UIMovieScrubberEditingLeft.png, the files do indeed seem to indicate that a video-editing app may appear in the next iPhone – if, we hasten to add, the reported .png files are legit.

Apple hasn’t made any mention of video capability in its upcoming iPhone refresh – let alone in-phone video editing. However, we reckon – with some evidence – that such capability is, indeed, on its way to an iPhone near you (although of what quality, we’ll have to wait and see).

And remember that Imagination Technologies, designer of the PowerVR MBX hardware that powers the iPhone and iPod Touch, announced a new and potent graphics processor, the PowerVR SGX543, this January. Imagination then followed that with a peek at a multi-core version of the same design, the PowerVR SGX543MP at last month’s Multicore Expo in Santa Clara, California.

If Apple should choose to add video editing to its top-of-the-line iPhone, the horsepower to provide it is available – and from a company of which Apple owns a hefty chunk.

Virgin Mobile turns Spitzer woes into ad copy

Julie — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 11:50:43 +0000

Virgin Mobile Canada knows how frustrated people can get with the lack of personalized service these days. Faster than Eliot Spitzer could say, “Um, oops,” the company came out with a print ad that features the newly former New York governor, aka Client #9, musing as follows under a thought bubble: “I’m tired of being treated like a number…”

“At Virgin Mobile,” the ad goes on to say, “you’re more than just a number. When you call us we’ll treat you like a person, not a client. Whether you’re #9 or #900, you’ll get hooked up with somebody who’ll finally treat you just how you want to be treated.”
