OH WORD CANON!

http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/26/canon-eos-60d-18-megapixels-and-1080p-video-flexes-its-articula/

From Engadget:

“Well, what do we have here? Last we heard about the Canon EOS 60D it was just a twinkle in our articulating screen of a peripheral vision. And now it’s official — my, how times have changed. Here’s what we know about the 50D successor (with definite nods to the Rebel T2i‘s feature set): the 18-megapixel DSLR has a single DIGIC 4 processor and boasts 1080p H.264 video with an in-camera movie editing feature, manual audio level control, a “flexible” (read: articulating) 3-inch LCD screen, an ISO range of 100-6,400 purported to be expandable to 12,800, and support for processing RAW images from within the camera itself. Look for the little photo shooter to hit retail at the end of September for just a dollar under $1,100 body only, or $1,400 with a bundled 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens. You know the drill: pics below, press release and video after the break.”

Red Car’s Rain Mobile Production Work Flow and Cocktail Seminar

4 Aug

I stopped by Red Car yesterday to learn a bit more on mobile app development and workflow. Some of the topics discussed were the differences between Native app vs. Web app, mobile app workflow, and trends. Rain (part of Red Car) develops mobile applications. Currently, they’ve developed 14 mobile applications.

Native app vs. Web app

- Native app: is good for rich graphics, access to camera videos and photos.

- Web app: gracefully transferrs across many platforms, quick development turnaround, and HTML / Flash developers can learn easily.

What should we expect to see develop with mobile apps within the next few years?

- Tapping into developing countries

- Keyboardless (Cell phones will pack more harddrive space. No longer will someone need a laptop)

- HTML5

- Trends
