iPod Touch: I Can Haz Camera?

Is the next generation of iPod Touches getting a camera upgrade? But not only the camera but as well as a integrated microphone. Tech sites all across the web believe so. According to Wired.com:

A well-connected source tells us those rumors are on the money, and that Apple’s factories in China are already manufacturing iPod Touch models with integrated cameras and microphones. An Apple spokesman declined to comment when reached by phone.
This is really not suprising me as I could see the iPod touch getting this soon. Why? Well because when you think about it iPod touch owners are held off from purchases in Camera Apps, or applications such as Skype because users would have to buy yet another $30 Headset with mic. I'm sure Apple would like some more money coming in with iPod touch users now being able to purchase more apps.

What else could the microphone mean? Well the iPod touch could also be getting the Voice Control feature as well. This would not be a iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 3rd gen only exclusive feature.

Last year the iPod touch 2nd gen came out around Sepetember, we can only wait and cross our fingers to see what Apple has planned for us.

Stock Camera vs Pro Camera - FIGHT!

Do you go browsing through the App Store in the Photography section? Sometimes looking at the camera apps and probably don't want them, why? because why are you gonna spend like 3 bucks on something you already have. Well I got this app, called Pro Camera, does more than the normal camera.

What more does it offer?
The app gives you a higher quality of the photo which kinda sounds crazy because its the same camera hardware-wise right? Well once again apple somewhat restricts the camera from its true potential. It offers a clean interface of course same as the stock camera application.

User Interface:
The interface is nice and I like it. It has 3 little buttons or icons at the button for controlling the camera, the first is a settings that takes you to the settings page of the app, not too much to change there except for the self-timer setting, how sensitive it is to shaking, and whether or not you want it to save in the background [NO this does not mean you can close the app and it saves, it just allows you to take another picture while it's saving], and whether or not you want to preview the image before you save or if you just want it to auto-save. IT also tells you how much system memory you have, which is a little weird but I think it's to tell you to respring if you have a jailbroken iPhone or not, and to reboot if its not jailbroken. Then it tells you the current version and gives a Send Feedback button, pretty self explanatory.

The second icon is the "Steady Shot Mode" this uses the accelerometer to prevent blurry pictures, as soon as the accelerometer knows that it's still, it takes the picture automatically. Very nice, I get a lot of blurry pictures from using the stock camera at times

The third, is a self-timer option. Great for self-portraits or pictures of you and friends, or the boyfriend and girlfriend. You get to set how long before the shutter goes off in the settings pane of the app.

The application also has a Tilt Meter, which is shown in the screenshots. It's the white compass looking thing that tells you if your holding the phone straight or not. It's used to take the pictures to make them look better. You can also be creative by using this :)

My Conclusion:
I really really like this app, it gives a better high quality image than the stock camera does, and when I'm not looking for a quick shot I use this better to get a clearer picture. The only thing is I wish app allowed the apps to run in the background, with Cydia though there is an app called "backgrounder" which allows you to set apps to run in the background. The reason for me wanting this is the images take about a good 10 seconds or less to save, sometimes I even accidentally close the app not thinking, then I am forced to take it again. But if your a photographer and need a better camera than what the iPhone gives you I highly reccommend it, its simple, nice, and gets the job done. There's few apps in the App Store that take Pictures like Pro Camera :)



[IT LOOKS LIKE THERES NOT MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE, BUT I'LL GET A BETTER PICTURE IN THE SUN OUTSIDE AND YOU'LL SEE]
