This is the first short movie shot and edited entirely on an iPhone that I have heard of, and the result is really not bad. Check it out yourself (Sadly, Vimeo only lets you share videos in Flash):

“Apple of My Eye” – an iPhone 4 film – UPDATE: Behind the scenes footage included from Michael Koerbel on Vimeo.

Isn’t it impressive?

Director Michael Koerbel of Makek Pictures notes that the short took 48 hours to create from start to finish.

Windows 7 RC has already been out for some time, but I have only recently started discovering the changes since the public beta. I wrote a longer introduction to Windows 7 when I got the hands on the beta. The introduction is still worth reading. Also information about DVB-T and HDTV seems to be some of the topics that are most interesting for my readers.

Get yourself a cup of coffee and read the rest of this article.

Not all Web 2.0 services make it. And not everything Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis, founders of Skype, touch turns to gold. They are, according to IDG.se, pulling the plug on Joost. There are not many video solutions that have really succeeded in this area, Youtube and Vimeo, are not direct competitors. And Hulu is only available in U.S, iPlayer from BBC only in U.K, other services are also not available worldwide. But I can see that the amount of national services made it difficult for Joost.

Their service was cool, but lacked serious content. I often felt that I was running a demo of what the application was capable of doing. The video streams had and have a high quality, often better then their competitors. I didn’t mind running it as a standalone application, nor directly from a browser. I just wanted content…

RiksTV has managed to become the first to broadcast TV2 HD, which goes live on June 25th. The first show in HD is gonna be TV2′s own produced entertainment show «Allsang på grensen», which will be a weekly show during the summer.

Other productions that will be sent in HD:

  • Tour de France LIVE (primo July 2009)
  • 2-3 series a week (Greys Anatomy/ Cleaners/ Scrubs/ Brothers & Sisters/ Criminal Minds) from about August 17th 2009
  • Movies Fridays and Saturdays (as many as possible of them)
  • Main soccer match in the Norwegian League, Sundays 8 o’clock
  • Series going Monday evening (Life on Mars/ X-list)
  • Nordic series
  • The Varg Veum series
  • Jakten på kjærligheten
  • Da damene dro
  • Skal vi danse

I am surprised of how much own produced HD programmes TV2 plan to broadcast as they start up with HD. Really nice. Hopefully TV2 HD will soon be available also for Canal Digital and Get subscribers. RiksTV is using a new compression technology to be able to send in HD.
