- Dokument, on 01/13/2008, -1/+40so next time you (speaking of females) are in the bathroom/shower/changing room and see an iphone lying around....... yeah....
- inactive, on 01/13/2008, -1/+22it would be even more remarkable if you put the camera on the front and stream the video to another iphone for video chat.
- beerbarron, on 01/13/2008, -2/+20Thats pretty awesome, I hate having my webcam stuck in one position...
- skyshock1, on 01/13/2008, -1/+15And the amateur porn industry grows....
- Slimtoad, on 01/13/2008, -1/+14Yes, finally, a 24 hour viewable video of my pocket!
- purethoughtfilm, on 01/13/2008, -0/+10If you read the article, you would see that you use the phone as the cam and stream it over to a mac. It's paired with another Mac running those apps. Say you have an iMac. The iPhone is the cam while you're running iChat on the iMac.
- Tddupre, on 01/13/2008, -0/+8Apple had nothing to do with this
- bob12321, on 01/13/2008, -0/+8The iPhone dosen't cost $600 either.
- drcreek, on 01/13/2008, -0/+6Someone should so stream macworld tomorrow using this method
- starkruzr, on 01/13/2008, -0/+5No amount of sense is proof against stupid, knee-jerk, bad logic.
- codyman, on 01/13/2008, -2/+7SpiPhone
- node3, on 01/13/2008, -1/+6How does it reduce the rest of the iPhone?
- starlord1, on 01/13/2008, -2/+7That is ridiculously cool. Whilst only being vaguely useful just makes it more of an engineering achievement. What amazes me if this is the power of the development community on hacked iPhones, as long as the API doesn't salt the game, can you imagine the cool apps you'll produce when Apple get their ***** together and launch an API.
- searcade, on 01/13/2008, -2/+7i wish i had an iphone
- node3, on 01/13/2008, -0/+4Wirelessly?
Besides, it's not like someone is going to think, "I need a way to get video onto my computer. I know, an iPhone would be *perfect* for that!". This app is for people who already *have* an iPhone and would like to stream video, via WiFi, which *is* pretty cool.
FYI, the iPhone is only $399. - jjustice, on 01/13/2008, -1/+5nice, always wanted to do this with my treo! videoblogging meets webcam, perhaps?
- ajchavar, on 01/13/2008, -0/+4or if you have an older mac or a mac mini, not everyone has the newest computer. plus you can stream this from the wifi so i could give friends a tour of my new apt without carrying my computer around.
- chrislee149, on 01/13/2008, -5/+8Why would you need the screen?
- starkruzr, on 01/13/2008, -0/+3Please show me the camcorder you use that can make phone calls, send text messages, browse the web, run UNIX software and play games. I can't wait to get it.
- adc89, on 01/13/2008, -0/+3Don't use the calendar either! You can buy one for $399.50 less!
- beerbarron, on 01/13/2008, -0/+2hell yes they should, when the official sdk is released, I look forward to this!
- DaffyDuck, on 01/13/2008, -0/+2No *****, Sherlock.
- RedHairedMan, on 01/14/2008, -0/+2[pig]Yep, for god's sake girls, give us a bit of a show and be sexy about it![/pig]
- inactive, on 01/14/2008, -0/+2You have no cash.... lmao!
- DaffyDuck, on 01/13/2008, -0/+2I'm willing to pay $6 if it's worth it.
- originaladam, on 01/13/2008, -1/+3Too bad you still cant use your iPhone to capture video to its self.
- beerbarron, on 01/13/2008, -0/+2Although I found the first post negative, I wonder if your holding it screen facing forwards, you get to see what your streaming? Would be real handy, for remote desktop help
- joeycerone, on 01/13/2008, -0/+2This. is. cool.
- jonshipman, on 01/14/2008, -0/+1$17.90? no thanks...
one good thing about the iphone is that all the apps are free. WM, has its benefits - but every app costs money. And not $5 either, IM+ is $40. $40! For an instant messaging app! - Giga, on 01/14/2008, -0/+1You could, I dunno, look at the computer screen which is in fact the screen showing the other person...
- DaffyDuck, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1Congrats. Here's a cookie.
- TomFrost, on 01/14/2008, -0/+1Because I have a G4 Powerbook with no built-in camera, and no cash to upgrade it. This is huge, for me!
- mal1964, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1Before my post i thought the phone plugged into a PC as a cam, after i was duh, all you need is the phone.
- Mizzike, on 01/13/2008, -1/+2These kids keep getting younger and younger. Pretty soon, we're going to have geeks who hack products that haven't even been made yet, while they're still in the womb.
- DaffyDuck, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1True. If you ask me, all cameras on phones suck. It's just different degrees of suckage.
- rothgar, on 01/14/2008, -1/+2and now for something completely different.

not a iphone hater. but this kind of stuff shouldn't be "news" - aduzik, on 01/16/2008, -0/+1Nah, an hour, tops. Running the camera app drains the battery really fast. When the battery meter is inaccurate, that's what I do to run down the battery and recalibrate it.
- skellener, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1Leave it to third party developers to surpass Apple in useful products. Apple hasn't replaced the iSight camera they discontinued in Dec. 2006. So unless you have a newer Apple 'book' or iMac, Apple has not provided a hardware solution for using iChat. Bad Apple!
Here's a perfect example of something Apple itself COULD have done using it's own technology, but didn't. Kudos for making Apple technology more useful guys! - shafiq, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1anyone heard of movino? i can do the same thing too.
- sab0tage, on 01/14/2008, -0/+1You can do this with the Nokia N95
- Lorenz123, on 01/14/2008, -0/+1Like the function that almost all 3G phones have ?
- kkiran, on 01/14/2008, -0/+1Interesting project - particularly using as a SpyPhone cam... kudos dude!
- Philbert, on 01/14/2008, -0/+1"if it's worth it" - key phrase.
- rojano17, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1That's why i bought the 360 webcam, it has great picture and it looks very mac-like
- DaffyDuck, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1There is a video demo. As someone who has spent a lot of time using webcams, I was surprised that the quality appeared to be quite good.
- pytis, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1Megapixels are nothing if the quality sucks..the lighting adjustments, the autofocus..etc..id rather get a really good 1MP camera than a ***** 6MP camera.
- Tddupre, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1i mean if they apps that are doing the exact same thing they are doing now
- YoGramMamma, on 01/14/2008, -1/+1If this is released and works well after the SDK... i can see it being pretty cool.
hey, ichat friend, I'm ichatting with you on my desk, you know, using the built in isight on my iMac... oh... whats that you say, you want to see the new car thats in my garage? oh what about my new dinette set i spent 49 dollars on at IKEA?? oh sure, well i will just switch over the video to my iphone and so you like that, while i can still hear your convo from the speaker in the iphone.....
ahh how nice...
sure beats lugging the imac around!!! - nocash23, on 01/15/2008, -0/+0not enough cash to be a brainless consumer zombie i guess. oh and by the way, "lmao", "brb" and all the other "internet slang" is for 13 year old girls. maybe you can use your pink rhinestone covered iphone to text the rest of your american idol watching, latte drinking, yuppie friends...bitch.
