Samsung Omnia 7 Video Quality Comparison

I recently got a Samsung Omnia 7 Windows Phone. It's a great device and I really like the screen, the size, the camera and the rest. It's overall a very good handset with nice material and a neat, solid design. I prefer it to the HTC Mozart which I tried for over a month.
I recorded some test videos with the Omnia 7 to see how good the video quality is. Below are 4 videos that were recorded indoor and outdoor at VGA (640 x 480) and HD 720p (1280 x 720) resolution. HD 720p only records at 30 frames per second, which is noticeable when a pan is performed.
I think the quality is good for a mobile device, but see yourself.

Please follow the video link and watch it at the highest available resolution for the best comparison.
By the way, this is how it looks one day before Christmas at a normal German supermarket.

Green Robots

I've recently twittered an amazing drawing from my 3 year old daughter. She has drawn some monsters like she said with a smile or robots as I would call them. She made this drawing after she came home from the Kindergarten where they celebrated carnival at this day. So the drawing might be related to the experience she made. To make it clear she has drawn it all on her own without help or suggestions. She rocks! I'm very proud of her.
Ignacio Lago (@nachoexr) replied to me over Twitter that he likes the drawing very much and asked me if I have it in a higher resolution. Because my scanner is broken since a couple of years I made a photo.

Here it is

Und nun viel Spaß...

Blue to Gray - Sky Timelapse Video

The iPhone is so much fun and there was just another great App released that makes it even more fun. It's called iTimelapse and is developed by Laan Labs. It allows you to easily create cool time lapse videos including music. All the necessary information were already covered in this blog post.

I've made a short time lapse video of the noon sky and uploaded it to Vimeo. It was my first try with the App, but I had a lot of luck, the sky and the drifting clouds looked beautiful and the sky became overcast during the recording.
The time lapse photos were taken through my office window from 12:51 to 2:16 pm on Monday 23rd of November 2009.

Nature is just cool!



I've also uploaded it to YouTube so you can watch it on the iPhone:

When there was too much kode

This is the first post on my second blog beside my main Kodierer blog. As the description implies, this blog will be written in code coma when I had enough of coding and will not be focused on Software development. You can expect posts about current topics, media, technology, culture and life in general or just stuff that doesn't fit into 140 characters.
