OWLE Creates Amazing Video With iPhone

In this incredibly impressive video recorded from an iPhone, OWLE has created some pretty remarkable footage. After a whole bunch of modifications, the team was able to record was appears to be almost broadcast quality footage from a simple iPhone. The comparisons between the before and after shots are pretty crazy.

If this technology developed it would be amazing for any media company interested in creating cheap video content. I know many media outlets are currently depending on flip cams for this sort of footage, but just think how much more watchable their finished products would be with after taking advantage of improved technology such as this. Hopefully, OWLE will be able to develop their project further!

Condé Nast Plans iPhone App

In another example of a traditional media company branching out into new mediums, Condé Nast has recently announced their attention to create an iPhone App for some of their popular publications. This December, an app of the latest GQ issue will go on sale for $2.99 as opposed to the $4.99 price of the print version. The most interesting news surrounding this upcoming app, however, is that the app will basically consist of a digital version of the magazine. It will replicate the print version on a page by page basis but also include additional content such as videos!

It will be interesting to see whether this new venture will generate that much additional revenue for Condé Nast, but I do think they are heading in the right direction with it’s development. Also, as Peter Kafka points out, this will perfectly situate them to take full advantage of any tablet technology emerging in the near future.
