Billy Joel Concert

Stage - waiting to start!

iPhone Music Video

Rap Music Video recorded entirely on iPhone using Jailbroken iPhone and Cycorda app.

I used Cycorder to shoot everything. This app rocks, but you can only use it if your phone is jailbroken, so go out and jailbreak your iPhone - you will thank me later. After Effects was used to edit the video because Final Cut didn’t like the resolution and frame rate that came out of Cycorder. I particularly like the look of the footage when it gets all warpy because the sensor can’t keep up with the motion. It kind of has this retro/film/stopmotion feel.

Nokia N97 Demo - the great Fondle Video

Check out this video on YouTube:

The N97 looks great, but it looks like the user interface is not as
slick or intuitive as the iPhone, and appears to require multiple
touches to achieve actions? Will have to try one out - can't wait
until June July09 :-)
This of course gives Apple time to introduce the iPhone v3 before
then! Here's hoping! Competition is great!!!

University of Woolongong mlearning project, a series of 6 week long mlearning trials using Palm Treo680 smartphones and iPods, funded by Australian govt.

Critique: short-term projects with unoptimum choices of technology!

Publishing affordances of mlearning - but will results be coloured by the projects limitations?!

See Ascilite2008 papers of the various case studies. Herrington et al. The study was supported by a team of 12 staff - wow! 12 people doing what I have been doing all on my own at Unitec!

Auzzie PrePaid Mobile Broadband

'3' have a PrePaid mobile broadband data 'account' option - I'm using this while in Melbourne for ASCILITE2008!

Cost is $10 for the SIM card, $29/month for 2GB data

This is pretty good value & no long term contract required!

AND you can use your own 3G Modem - I'm using a NZ Vodafone 3G Expresscard Modem with the '3" SIM. Only downside is some of the activation process requires the '3' modem software, and it's a pain having to remove cookies to get beyond the 'activation' page each connection :-(
