Sweden on the cutting edge again…
The Swedish site Dremfeld.se has posted a video pushing an iPhone through a Mac with a touchscreen.
The idea is intriguing and it opens a door to what the next generation of computer screens and GUIs will look like.
Peter Burrows in Business Week summed up the iPhone/video revolution best last week when he reported that the new iPhone is more properly the video phone.
At long last, after decades of having to mess with camcorders and cables and PC video editing software and hard drives, my gut tells me Apple will make the iPhone a one-stop studio for recording, editing, viewing and sharing your own videos.
But now, if we take that capacity and migrate it to our desktops (and why not?), we are truly enter the age of video beginning to drive text to a secondary position universally.
While the number are way up for video watching on iPhones (10 times those with conventional phones or about 37%), the more interesting issue is on the production side.
The streamlining of producing a video – doing away now not just with the cameraman, soundman, editor and so on, but for all practical purposes with the gear and cables as well (not to mention the downloading and the software) means that yet another barrier to entry for the use if video as a tool to communicate ideas has been removed.
And since uploading is now as simple as hitting the ‘send’ button for an email, we can expect an explosion in the producting of video all around.
The idea that software (and I particularly like the idea of touch screen editing software) that we find on iPhones can be migrated to full size edit stations makes this even more intriguing.
My brother-in-law, an executive at NBC is busy undergoing rigorous training in their own in-house desktop video editing system.
To say it is clunky is…. well, kind.
And weird, considering what is coming.
Yet somehow so so predictable.

Thankfulness to my father who stated to me about this blog, this weblog is genuinely remarkable.

This is very interesting. I just sent an email to info@rosenblum.com explaining how we had just developed an automated video system for doctors who use an endoscope. With a few clicks the video is automatically captured and formated in Flash and for the iPhone to share with doctors anywhere in the world, and go live if they want. The video is available before the patient is out of the procedure room. I emailed Rosenblum because I went through the Travel Channel Academy and thought this could be used by VJ around the world to speed up the process. Video is the way of the future.
