Video Comparrison for #telstradesire
Kind of sad when you think… I’ll just go up the road on my holiday to make a video to test out my HTC Desire for its video making abilities to realise that you had on you 4 different devices capable of making HD (or near HD) video… I was annoyed I forgot to take my wife’s phone so then I could have made 5 videos :-)…. ah well… 4 will just have to do.
All of these sample Videos are on default settings for recording only, where I walked part way up the Elizabeth St Mall in Hobart repeating the same walk 4 times (yes I did get some looks :-))
Devices used were a Nikon D90, a HTC-Desire, a Nokia n95-8gb and a JVC GC-FM1 PICSIO

Now one thing I did try was to upload these videos via the YouTube app on my phone as a way of testing upload speeds… guess what… you are not allowed. The YouTube App says no you have to upload large files via wifi only. I really can’t begin to describe how wrong that is. What if you don’t have wifi, what if you are on the road in the middle of no-where taking photos and have 3g coverage (like this shot). I’ve had Telstra 3g coverage in some amazing areas.. but certainly no wifi… so how do I upload video?
What happens when someone sees something amazing or even breaking news and wants to upload it… well they can’t. If this is going to be a true social device that has to change and change fast.
