iPhone Video Recording Interface, Digital Compass, Voice Control and Auto-Focus Camera

MacRumors has a screenshot, discovered in the latest iPhone 3.0 beta, that shows a video recording interface. As seen above, the interface shows icons on the bottom right which toggles between still shots and video recording. The video recording is not presently functional in iPhone 3.0 beta, and the interface is not accessible by default. Only when configuration files were modified telling the firmware a Video Camera was present will it appear.


Apple is expected to release iPhone 3.0 this summer, hopefully, together with the new iPhone.

T-Mobile Germany iPhone 3G Deal points towards new iPhone

From I4U -


For April, new T-Mobile Germany iPhone 3G customers get the iPhone for 1 Euro, a 30 Euro iTunes Gift Card, 2 months of free service and free activation. Compare this to the lowest unlimited data plan selling for $60/month (44.95 Euro/month, Complete S). AT&T charges $199 for the iPhone and the Data plan and the lowest voice plan add up to $69.99.

It is a very tempting deal but lock-in period is two years. And if the new iPhone really gets released in June, takers will likely get buyers remorse or at the very least, "new iPhone 2009 envy".

Stanford Course On How To Build iPhone Apps Will Soon Be Available On The iPhone

From TechCrunch -

Stanford will start distributing a popular computer science course on developing iPhone apps for free as a video podcast through iTunes U. Considering that more than 25,000 iPhone apps are available, with an aggregate total of more than 800 million downloads, the competition is fierce.

Apple itself provides a considerable information for developers but for those who need a little more guidance or a refresher course, watching these videos is like continuing education. The videos are not on iTunes yet, but the first one should appear very soon.
