ClearCam – 4 MP Photos on iPhone

What’s up this is AnthonyKash from over at TheNovus.net. It’s a new day and a new app out on Cydia. ClearCam boast to take your 2 megapixel iPhone and turn it into 4 megapixels. The developer’s site is located at http://www.occipital.com/ . ClearCam offers “enhanced mode” which snaps 6 pics in 2.5 seconds and combines and enhances all the images to give you that nice 4 megapixel picture you’ve been waiting for. Because it’s a 4 megapixel image the photo’s can be enlarged with better clarity and visibly less noise.

This great app also offers the “QucikShot” setting which rapidly shoots off 4 pics and then chooses the best one and tosses the rest. The only downside is that this app costs $10 but the upside is it’s available for free , cracked wide open for all of us to use on the xSellize Cydia repo. To add the repo go to http://www.xsellize.com/ and sign up for free and add their source, xsellize.com/cydia/user-pass/ to Cydia where user is your user name and pass is your password. Now remember if you like the app go out and support the developers and buy it.

murda the funky space monkey edit :

Usually for a point and shoot cam , you dont need more than , lets say , 5 MP. Although i really dont see a 4 MP quality in the pics shot with the iphone using ClearCam. iPhone’s photo camera diaphragm is too small to capture all the light and details for a 4MP quality pic.

That being said, you should really try this app, because there is a minimal but visible enhancement in the quality of the pic. BTW : trying this on a natural day light wont serve you any good. The iPhone takes beautiful pics on those conditions anyway. Play around with it, see if it suits you, and like Anthony said ( glad you pointed that out ) : if you think that this app suits you, buy it!

App Theater – The YouTube of iPhone Apps

AppTheater.com is ( i belive ) the YouTube of iPhone apps. The site is fairly new , so don’t expect to find as many videos as you can find on YouTube but i believe it will grow very very fast. You can find the exact same options that YouTube offsers you , like embed and comment but there are other options as well like set video details where you can change brightness, contrast, saturation and smoothnes of the video you are watching.logo

Another thing i really like about AppTheater, is that on every video there is displayed the price of the app and there is an “Buy This App From The AppStore” button as well. All in all there is a great site and i hope it will grow to half the size of YouTube ( that is HUGEEEEEEEE ).

Check it out, upload your own videos, send me a mail , let me check them out.

Watch Live TV, Record DVR Programs and Watch Recorded Films on Your iPhone

The first exciting news from Macworld 2009 came late Monday afternoon when Sling Media PR director Brian Jaquet announced that we will see the much anticipated SlingPlayer for the iPhone by the end of the quarter. If you own a version of their SlingBox set top, this app will allow you to watch live TV, record DVR programs, and even watch recorded films over the air with a 3G or wifi connection.

Six months ago at WWDC, Sling showed off a proof-of-concept SlingPlayer on a jailbroken iPhone. Sling also informed reporters that they were using a jailbroken phone because they had not been accepted into Apple’s Developer Program.  From that moment, the rumor mill went into overdrive about why we have not seen an Apple approved SlingPlayer in the app store.

Along with the exciting iPhone news, Sling Media also announced that their streaming site, sling.com will begin supporting OS X via a browser plugin. For the first time, Mac users will be able to stream HD TV on their browsers from the SlingPlayer. Very exciting to see that Sling is finally showing Apple some love and I, for one, can’t wait to see the demo in person.

Flash Finally on iPhone and iPod Touch?

flash-iphone1

Remember my post on how to boost MobileSafari?Well if you do, than you remember that there was a plugin that gave you the ability to view flash videos on webpages and eliminates that stinky missing plugin icon.Well this is something similar.

I bet you want me to answer some questions for you. Well let’s do that :

Q : What is it called?

A : iMobileCinema

Q : Is it a flash player?

A : Hell no!

Q : Is it better?

A : Not yet.

Q: Works with .swf?

A: Nope

Q: What about .flv?

A : Well it has to work with something , right?

Q : If i already have this feature from the addons pack that you showed me in the previous post, why do i need this? It’s exactly the same, really do u have some new stuff for me or not?

A : Yep. Well you might not want this right now, but according to their blog , in the near future you will get this :

Some live broadcast sites are using rtmp protocol to deliver videos, e.g., mtv.com, hulu.com. We’ll try to support the protocol later. And playing embedded mp3, like singsbox.com, is a good idea and we’ll try to support it too.

Q : Oh wow, that’s cool! OK , OK, how can i get this?

A : Well , like all good stuff that are happening to the iPhone and/or iPod Touch , you can get this thru Cydia. First you need to add this source : http://d.imobilecinema.com , than you just search for iMobileCinema and install the package.

Q : Anything else that i should be aware about?

A : Hmm… not really. But you might wanna check out iMobileCinema’s Blog
