Running apps in the background on iPhone OS 3.1.3, easy!

Thought I’d knock up this quick demo of Backgrounder running on my jailbroken iPhone 3GS with OS 3.1.3. GREAT app, until OS 4.0 is released to the public this is the only real option for running apps (that should be able to run in the background) in the background. Any questions, feel free to ask!

The amazing AirVideo app on Apple’s iPad
Posted by Cameron in Apple, How do I do that, Internet, Photography, Technology, Video, iPad, iPhone on May 5th, 2010
Last night I heard about a great application called AirVideo [iTunes store link] which works on the iPad, iPhone and the iPod Touch. A stunning app that streams video content from a server on your network to your portable device, converting nearly any format to play virtually immediately! I was so impressed that I knocked up a quick demo/review video in HD. One of the top apps I have found!
The problem with shooting video… more gear to lug!

Admittedly this equipment isn’t heavy but it’s amazing how much extra there is when you venture even slightly into video. I recently picked up a Sony UWP UHF wireless microphone package and gave it a spin during the press conference after the North Queensland Cowboys v Gold Coast Titans match. I transmit my photographs from the press room so it was easy peasy.
As the room is full of TV networks after the match there really is no need for me to worry about setting up my microphone. I just grabbed the frequency that one of the networks was using on their Sony wireless kit and tuned in to that. Then it was as simple as plugging the output of the Sony UWP receiver into my MacBook Pro (which I was working on anyway) and recording the press conference audio in Quicktime.
You can have a listen to the audio quality at this [link] if you are interested.
Great calibration with a Gretag Macbeth Eye-One Display

I have been using a Gretag MacBeth Eye-One Display monitor calibration tool for quite a while and thought I’d take a few mins to give you a quick run-down showing the simplicity of the calibration process. It really is easy peasy. And the quality of the calibration is excellent! Find out more info on this device at the manufacturer’s link here (note: this product has been replaced with a newer model)

Made up the first in hopefully a few “How do I do that?” videos, this one detailing the very basics of remote firing of a camera. Hopefully someone gets something out of it!
