Walt Mossberg To Review Apple iPhone on CNBC 1:30pm EST Wed 6/27

I just saw the announcement that Walt Mossberg, technology writer for the Wall Street Journal will review the Apple iPhone on CNBC 1:30pm EST Wed 6/27/2007. I’m primarily interested in the quality of the phone connection, audio quality when using Bluetooth devices, battery life when using Bluetooth, WiFi, etc., digital camera image quality, PDF viewing, and how well it can function as an “on-the-go” photo and video portfolio for photographers and other creative professionals.

I just came across this video on The Apple Phone Show, posted today. It’s difficult to say whether Mr. Mossberg will add any additional info. I assume his appearance on CNBC will be live. The Apple Phone Show site also has links to online reviews by Walt Mossberg and David Pogue, Technology Columnist from The New York Times.

My guess is that the video review will probably be posted here sometime today. (No, that’s not a YouTube link, but it’s always possible it will end up there too).

The Apple Phone Show: An excellent blog and podcast that covers the Apple iPhone.

UPDATE Wed 5:30PM : This was a pretty good interview, though I found the written review by Walt Mossberg on the Wall St. Journal’s website to be far more comprehensive. I did learn from the review that Walt will probably be purchasing one (he has to return the one he tested), which is a good endorsement for Apple. I would like to know what the screen looked like after a few weeks of finger tapping and sliding.

A Comprehensive Website With Info About Monetizing Video Content

For the last month or so I’ve been a member of the Yahoo!Groups VideoBlogging group. In a very short time, I’ve learned a lot about technology, such as inexpensive video cameras, as well as ideas for how to set up a blog with content. I am planning to launch a video podcast sometime this summer, and I’ve been inspired by many of the members’ work. The group is free to join.

Today, I learned from one of the members of the group about a chart compiled by Scott Kirshner (Editor, CinemaTech), that covers a number of different companies who are working with content producers to monetize (earn income) with original video. There are many opportunities for people who create video how-to’s and even slide shows with audio to earn income with their work. I look forward to exploring this more and sharing what I learn. Here is a link to the chart with the excellent video content monetization options. I found them to be unbiased and easy to read.

Scott Kirshner’s blog, CinemaTech, is also very well written, and covers many topics related to the business side of movie making and new media. Scott also has some self-published books on Lulu.com. Lulu.com is a site that allows authors and other content producers to produce hardcopy books, e-books, and other media and then sell them on-demand. There are also free excerpts from at least one of his books available as downloadable PDFs on that page.

Kingston Technology’s ‘Icons of Photography’ Critique Viewer-Submitted Photos

Over the last few months I’ve reported on Kingston Technology’s mini site, which features a number of well-known photographers. The newest interactive feature, called Critique My Image was recently launched, and includes photographs by people from around the world.

On the site, twenty photographs are critiqued by world-renowned photojournalist Harry Benson, internationally-acclaimed photojournalist and advertising photographer Colin Finlay, National Geographic photographer Gerd Ludwig and Sports Illustrated photographer Peter Read Miller.

I really enjoyed looking at the images and reading the comments. I thought that the suggestions made were very good, and I was particularly impressed by those offered by Colin Finlay. Finlay commented about not just individual images, but about how the order of individual images in a portfolio can make a stronger impression.

Also very interesting was a before and after look at a few photographs by a few different photographers (critiqued by Gerd Ludwig). By dragging your mouse across the screen, you will see Gerd’s suggested edits as well as the original photos supplied by photographers.
