With the update to iOS 5.1, Apple changed how iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users access the camera on the lock screen. Instead of tapping the camera icon, users now have to hold the camera icon and slide it upwards to reveal the camera. Below is a video showing the change.
Wow! My new 4G on my iPhone 4S is blazing fast! Not really. The change to the 4G is something AT&T has been trying to obtain since the new radio debuted in the 4S back in October 2011.
The Reflection App uses Apple’s Air Play technology to mirror your iPhone 4s or iPad 2 screen wirelessly on a Mac running OS 10.6 or higher. Used in conjunction with screen capturing software the Reflection App is perfect for recording demos of Apps or helping out a friend with iOS features. A single License is $14.99 or $39.99 for 5 licenses.
I went to MacWold | iWorld in search of a decent iPhone Tripod Mount. There were many available to purchase, but two caught my eye during this year’s event.
The first is the Glif from Studio Neat. This particular mount fits very well with an iPhone 4 or 4S. Studio Neat has also designed the Serif, which adds much needed security to the mount. The Glif combo which includes the Glif and Serif is $30 or you can purchase the Glif by itself for $20.
The next tripod mount is from i4Software. This mount was not for sale during MacWorld | iWorld, but i4Software offered it for free upon the purchase of the $7.99 Video Camera iOS Application, which won the Best of Show Award for 2012.
I was told that the mount would be for sell for $20. What is nice about this mount is that it doesn’t require the removal of a iPhone’s case. It also could work with other phones. I find that it isn’t all that great when used with the iPhone 4 Bumper case as it is easy to slide the iPhone from side to side. Also the first one I received was broken.
In the end I wished I would have purchased the Glif Combo ($25 at the show) as the need to mount my iPhone to take video and photos will be limited and my can handle the inconvenience of taking the it out of the bumper case.
