Pano iPhone App Review
posted on February 9th, 2009 by Anthony
The iPhone is a brilliant device, there aren’t many people who will dispute that fact.
Those that do cite a few key deficiencies in the iPhone’s armour. The usual suspects being:
- No MMS
- No Cut and Paste
- Bluetooth is poorly implemented
- Crappy camera
Most of these issues come down to software and firmware oddities. For what ever reason Apple doesn’t seem to want us to have these features. The device has the power, just no way to utilise it (legitimately). We can all hope that one day Apple will deign us worthy of an update that will address our needs.
One issue really sticks out from that list, and that is the camera. It is a crappy camera. There is no denying that it falls way behind the offerings from most of the other mobile manufacturers. Unfortunately this wee beastie is hard wired into the device, and there is nothing we can do about it. From a purely technical point of view it is a crap camera.
Crap camera, however, does not mean bad photographs. You only have to look at the likes of Lomo, Holga and even the venerable Polaroid. These are camera devices that hardly give Canon and Nikon sleepless nights… yet the images they produce can be every bit as glorious as a 5D Mark II, and they have a following of fans to match.
