My ongoing thoughts on iOS Beta 2
Thoughts on iOS 5 beta 2. Firstly battery has improved significantly. I didn't think the first beta was a battery drained but many people have complained but I can see a difference in the battery in the second beta. Also my iPhone doesn't yet as hot, the first beta my iPhone did get hot but I've not seen as much evidence in this new release. Furthermore it seems to be faster, I'm getting better performance on my iPhone which is good. I won't bore you with the details of changes, they can be real elsewhere needless to say that iOS5 beta 2 is reliable and stable enough to use on my iPhone 4. I hope you are having a great Thursday.
Peters Kitchen - 3D Video on the HTC Evo 3D!
The Evo 3D is making a lot of buzz at the moment but what is the video content like? Peters Kitchen takes a look. "The Evo 3D is a bit of a novelty really, I still don’t see the fascination with 3D video actually. The Evo 3D is a dual core 4.3”, Android monster, with a high resolution qHD [960 x 540 Mp] screen. Now it has what we are calling “glasses less 3D”, meaning when watching 3D video or viewing 3D photos on the device you don’t need to wear anything special. It’s got three cameras, two rear facing at 5 Mp, and a front facing at 1.3 Mp plus a dual led flash."

The Gizmodo blog reviews the HP TouchPad, I think the outcome is half baked. "You're stepping on my dreams, HP. The TouchPad is so close, closer than anything else, to being good. But it's also very, very far from it. Look, give this thing six months. It could be amazing. If it's not by then, well, I guess that says everything that needs to be said."
