Apple Working On Video Goggles

Hrmpf has stumbled upon a new patent application from Apple for a new peripheral that would change the way people view videos on their iPhones and iPods. Titled "Head Mounted Display System", the patent is for a method of displaying images within a goggle-like headset. Although headsets similar to the one described have been around for a while, the patent describes decoupling the laser engine from the headset itself to make it less bulky.

uShow video recording & sharing app for iPhone

Omitting video recording is just another of the bizarre decisions Apple made with their generation-one cellphone, but if the past year has taught us anything it’s that whatever iPhone developers set their mind to, they usually achieve.  In this case, it’s a video recording app for the handset.  Called uShow, it currently seems to be in closed beta.

Developed by drunknbass, uShow allows you to record and playback video footage, save or email it, or upload it to a number of video sharing sites.  So far they’re claiming compatibility with YouTube, Flickr Video, facebook, MySpace Video, friendster, metacafe and photobucket.  Everything follows the chubby-finger-friendly GUI iPhone users are used to.

There are even higher-end features like on-screen timestamps and framing guides.  A menu of audio and video compression options should make tweaking file sizes straightforward to.  There’s no suggestion of when uShow will be generally released, but they’ll be re-opening beta registration on April 20th.

Indian iPhone rumored for September Vodafone launch

Business Standard is reporting that Apple will launch the iPhone in India come September this year.  Quoting “Apple retail sources”, the paper suggests that an exclusive deal for the handset is under discussion, and that the 8GB version will be priced at Rs. 27000-28000 ($680-700).  No details on contract obligation have been suggested.

Considering by then we’re expecting to have seen the new 3G iPhone, both the price and the timescale don’t quite ring true.  In addition, mocoNews claim you can pick up an unlocked, hacked 8GB iPhone in India for between $450 and $525.  Whether users will be willing to foot the extra $130+ for an official version is doubtful.

India has been the subject of many iPhone rumors, although the country is yet to see significant interest from Apple regarding the handset.  The report also suggests that the 16GB iPhone would, depending on customer takeup, be released there in mid-2009.
