Unusual statement by Apple on the White iPhone 4
White models of Apple’s new iPhone® 4 have proven more challenging to manufacture than expected, and as a result they will not be available until the second half of July. The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.
As far as I am aware there isn’t a current official statement on the availability of the 4th generation iPhone in Australia. Phone carriers are all suggesting that it will be ‘coming soon’…
37signals has released an iPad app called Draft. It is quite simple in design but by not trying to do too much it actually seems quite handy for knocking out design sketches. The price of $9.99 feels like a bit of a stretch though.
Derek Powazek has posted some photos taken from his iPhone 4 on his blog. I’ve been quite happy with some of the photos I’ve taken with my iPhone 3G, so the improved camera is going to be very handy for me.
The iPhone 4 is the first decent mobile camera I’ve ever owned. I’m just stunned by the image quality.
Just look at the detail and clarity. I’ve owned digital cameras that took crappier photos.
And finally elgato sent me an email this morning regarding a limited time feature they have on offer for their eyeTV product. Obviously someone working in the company got sick of the Vuvuzela’s used during the FIFA World Cup and they have added a filter option to specifically remove the buzz from the horns.
A special edition of EyeTV 3.4 software is available during the 2010 FIFA World Cup that offers a new feature called the “Vuvuzela Filter”. This filter gives you the option to dampen the buzz of vuvuzela horns in the stadium during live TV broadcasts; it can be quickly switched on and off at any time during the game. To use the filter, control click to bring up the contextual menu in EyeTV.

The Vuvuzela Filter is available in EyeTV for a limited time only, and will disappear with the next software update – after the 2010 FIFA World Cup is over.
