If you have not discovered audioBoo yet, shame on you

audioBoo is a great site/app that lets you record and share audio. Go and check out audioboo.fm their own blog will tell you all about it.

I tend to fire up the audioBoo iPhone app when trying to raise myself out of my slumber in the morning. I flick the the recent Boo’s and have a listen to what takes my fancy.

A few weeks ago I came across an audio stream from Lincoln Police Department. I mistook it as LAPD. But no it was from The Traffic Section of Lincoln Police Department. Every day they fire up audioBoo and give out traffic updates. Their audioBoo profile blurb is real funny too “Eyes on the road, nose between the ditches and slow your butt down”.

But it is the style they deliver their updates, seriously if you have not checked them out you should. Today it is Officer Jared. Here are a couple of their Boo’s

Listen to them quick as they tend to delete them for some reason.

I wonder if these guys know that they are amassing a little fan club over here in UK. Even Mark Rock CEO of audioBoo is a fan ssshhh I didn’t tell you that ok

We need to get them to stop deleting their Boo’s too. Go find them and follow them here audioboo.fm/LPDtraffic

This is a quick test of the new HDR feature on the iPhone 4. Picture taken at about 70 MPH.

The top image is HDR the bottom one is not. Click on an image they should expand.

I know the one I prefer. You?

Rupert Howe and I would like to play with an N8

She looked truly stunning. My cousin has grown into a beautiful woman. I had the honour of being able to video her and Shane’s vows.

I will update this blog post. It was Friday 13th and all before did not go to plan on the day (you can’t tell though)

But all I will say is these two married for the right reason, and I think if you watch you will see it. They are in love, pure and simple.

(the music at the start is at the venue I was sat next to the speakers, oh and I had no idea of the format, so excuse the few camera moves)

Updated – Had to upload the video to YouTube as Vimeo failed by cutting the sound after a minute.

Maybe this could qualify for the hashtag #FindBritain?

This is the journey from Suffolk to Oxfordshire through Britain’s motorways, ooh with a stop off at Lakeside (that is the carpark footage)

I think YouTube may ban the video soon, why? Well all the tunes on the video may piss them off (as in music copyright crap, music was on the iPod)

Video was filmed and edited on iPhone 4.

So a bimble around London with an iPhone 4. I cut out loads of footage, well hours of footage is boring

The video was filmed and edited on the iPhone 4.

This is test 2. So this time I decided not to upload the video direct to YouTube from the iPhone. The iPhone compresses the file before it uploads so you will never get the quality you thought. Seems silly to render you video in iMovie at 720p. Then in your next step export that movie at whatever rate the iPhone decides to compresses that file to.

Lets see if this is any better quality than the upload via iPhone 4. Mind you it did feel totally illogical importing a movie into iPhoto, that just felt all kinds of wrong.

So a very cool part of Android 2.2 is the live wallpapers. My favourite is Live Maps. This is a HTC Desire running Android 2.2.

Excuse the video quality. It was filmed on iPhone 4. The mistake I made was sending the video direct to YouTube from the iPhone. Looks like iPhone 4 built in compression needs a little work (the iPhone compresses video before uploading).

Ok so this is my first test of the iMovie app on iPhone 4. All footage was shot, edited then uploaded to YouTube directly from the iPhone 4.

I am not happy that the video parts shot with front facing camera don’t fill the whole of the YouTube player.

I hope I get to play with a Nokia N8 soon to compare the process.

Don’t get me wrong I like O2, I even have my iPhone 4 contract with them. What I hate is the branding of boot screens. I plan on using my HTC Desire as a pay as you go handset on another network.

The O2 branding, in my mind slows the whole boot process down. I am always thinking I could be already be using the phone every time I am looking at the O2 logo/animation happening at boot up.

I know it is a petty thing but it does wind me up.

Now I have to go debrand the HTC Desire. Time trawling through shite forums etc. Ahh will be just like the old days of jailbreaking iPhones, oops I never said that
