Take on OWLE team, add a hack into the iPhone dock connector, and what do you get? According to TechCrunch:

The latest prototype that OWLE has developed, which is different than what they start shipping tomorrow, allows you to use lenses with depth of field and telephoto effects, XLR microphones (both wired and wireless microphones), stereo microphones and more. Basically, it allows you to plug in any professional audio equipment that filmmakers use, on your iPhone. The mics are plugged in through the 30 pin, and the telephoto lens was cobbled together.

RED likely need not be fearful… yet!

Monday Fun Video: OWLE Hacks iPhone into Near-Broadcast Quality Video Rig

This one will be painful to watch for the good folks over at Precentral.net. Heck, even we feel a bit bad about this one but It seems as if the owner of this particular Pre had some major screen issues that he couldn’t live with any longer – 3 cracked screens in the span of 3 months.

Rest be assured, this device will be replaced with a new iPhone 3GS. At least that’s what his friends told him…

Dunk a Palm Pre and Win an iPhone 3GS

My, oh, my how far we’ve come in so few years. Daring Fireball sums it up beautifully:

Hard to believe this was just four years ago. The demo starts around 2:45; the look of utter contempt comes about a minute later.

(Not iPhone friendly, sorry).

Monday Fun Video: Steve Jobs Intros 2005 Motorola ROKR

We know it, we get it, Apple uses superlative superlatives when speaking superlatively about their superlative products, and nothing says quickie internet meme than cutting those superlatives together for YouTube.

Friday Fun Video 1: Apple Amazes, is Amazingly Amazing!

Repeat, the above video is disturbing and not safe for work due to language. If you choose to hit play, no complaining in the comments later. Some things you can just never un-watch!

Now, if you thought our brief foray into auto-tune was bad… Here’s Walt Mosspuppet with special guest Pogue’s-head-on-a-stick singing an ode to Steve Jobs and Apple’s 2009 music event. Quizzically, at no time does auto-tune sensation Kanye West rush in and demand Fake Steve get an ode as well, though that might be considered a mixed blessing at best…

Quick App Update: Qik for iPhone… Removes Wi-Fi Restriction?!

Either one of the most awesome iPhone developed concepts yet, or MIT professor and Navy F/A-18 Hornet fighter pilot Missy Cummings has just given the iPhone’s Skynet/Matrix/Cylon decedents the origins of the flying hunter/seekers they’ll be using to wipe us out.

Tuesday Fun Video: iPhone Controlled Flying Drone

Mosspuppet, the hand puppet parody of Wall Street Journal technology columnist Walt Mossberg, is back and this time once again using satire to speak the truth none dare speak out loud — that freshly resigned Eric Schmidt was a actually a spy sent by Google to steal Apple’s childhood sense of wonder restoration engine. Or not.

For more salty-language laced rants, check out Hoggworks Studios YouTube Channel (and like our pal Phil from WMExperts, we hope we do get old Mosspuppet’s take on WinPho 7, and other smartphone related topics…)

Wednesday Fun Video: Mosspuppet Claims Schmidt Was Spy on Apple Board, Asks for Job (NSFW-L)

Can’t believe we missed this iPhone 3GS headed robot! (Don’t tell Dieter). Which exact ancestor of our future robotic iPhone overlords we don’t know, but we figure when the day does come, if they’re rocking iPhone heads, at least Apple might still reject “wipe out humanity” or somesuch from their overlord App Store… (insert your own duplicates functionality joke here!)

Tuesday Fun Video: iPhone 3GS Headed Robot!

Following up on the recent release of iPhone 3.1 Beta 3, WhenWillApple has posted up a YouTube video (embedded above) showing the new copy/paste functionality for videos.

Like copy/paste for images in iPhone 3.0, this allows you to send copies of your videos without the compression that goes along with the Share function. Just pick a video, tap and hold for “copy”, switch to email, tap and hold for paste.

Again, the size of the email boxes (sender and receiver) will likely still be a limiting factor. (MobileMe allows for 20MB per email, for example).
