Would You Use Australia Post As Your Telco? (via @giz_au)

Posted on Nov 25, 2011

What will we hear next?   @Daryl – Maybe Telstra can deliver the mail? Love It!

How great would it be if you could get WiFi Access from any Australia Post mailbox. A great use of existing property, and excellent for the city. Reminds me of a concept Telstra put forward some years back, about offering WiFi via their phone boxes.

As with all great ideas, will they never happen. Would you use Australia Post as a Telco service provider?

Australia Post is hoping that you would; it’s all primed for a major push into the telecommunications market as part of a shift away from those old-fashioned paper things that people used to send each other. I think I remember those…  via [GizModo]

Apple iPhone 4S – The second most popular cameraphone..

Posted on Nov 24, 2011

Alexandre_C – via FLICKR

Since it’s release on October 4, 2011, according to the photo sharing community FLICKR, the iPhone 4S is now the second most popular Camera Phone. 

The iPhone 4S has an 8MP camera (3264 by 2448 pixels), and is capable of recording Full HD Video (1080P) at thirty frames per second. With the built-in Gyroscope, Apple has Included in the latest iPhone 4S image stabilisation for Video recording.

If you are interested in seeing what the most popular camera phone is… “The top four camera phones are all iPhone, and the top camera period is the iPhone 4”. @Gartenberg.

Over the coming months, it will be interesting to see how the iPhone 4S progresses in the market against rival products, includingit’s own Apple iPhone 4.

This just might be the best camera ever on a phone. And with all-new optics, it just might be the only camera you need. Because behind every shot, you’ve got 8-megapixel resolution and a custom lens with a larger f/2.4 aperture. Not to mention an improved backside illumination sensor, excellent auto white balance, advanced colour accuracy, face detection, and reduced motion blur. It all means that no matter how many people, how much light, and how much action you capture, everything looks exactly as it should. The custom lens uses five precision elements to shape incoming light, which makes the entire image sharper. The larger f/2.4 aperture lets in more light, so photos look brighter. And the advanced hybrid infrared filter keeps out harmful IR light for more accurate and uniform colours.  Apple
