Picked up my new iPhone today from the Apple store, and my first impressions are very good.
It’s very very quick, and the camera is stunning. Detail like I have never seen before on a phone.
I know its 8 Megapixel and all that, but as any good photographer will tell you, it’s much more about the sensor itself, and this one seems to be an absolute cracker!
Click on the photo below to see it in full Resolution. This picture shows off the depth of field capabilities quite well.
Firework display tomorrow, should be interesting to see how it handles that!
Siri has been a bit of fun already and shows some great promise. I asked him/her (?) to send an email to my wife saying “I love you”…. below is how it went….
———————————————-
Me: “Send an email to my wife saying “I love you”
Siri: “I don’t know who your wife is. please tell me”
Me: “Jackie Bingley”
Siri: “I will now remember that Jackie bingley is your wife. Sending a text to your wife saying ‘I love you’. Would you like me to send it?”
Me: “send”
Siri: “Text sent”
10 mins later………….
Me: “Who is my wife?”
Siri: “Jackie Bingley. I will bring up her details”
Her photo and contact details were then displayed.

Pretty good huh?
Its good for simple things too, such as….
Me: “Set a timer for 5 mins”
Siri: “timer set for 5 mins”
Timer then displayed on phone, and begins countdown.

Now, I know I am quite a geek when it comes to gadgets, but that is by far the best voice command technology that I have ever used. Congratulations Apple. It’s so good…. I may even remember to use it!
