While we wait for the “Impossible Project” to revive SX-70 Land Camera. Here is something I came across today. It is an app called “Poladroid” and it works pretty good. I did a couple samples you can see below. The last 2 pics are from the iPhone and an App CameraBag which mimics different camera and film types. It is also good to note this image obviously smaller in pixels than the Nikon I shot the other examples with.

Some comparisons:

AT&T announced they are offering free wifi at Starbucks and other locations:

“FREE AT&T Wi-Fi access is now available for Apple iPhone at thousands of hotspots nationwide, including Starbucks*.”

Whoo-Hoo! I wonder if this is in response to Sprint XOHM beginning to pick up steam. Or maybe they are scared of Google Android…Either way, I heart competition! The funny thing is the content on the AT&T site directs you back to the same page! “For information visit www.att.com/attwifi.” Which re-directs you back to the same page….

To access free Wifi here are the directions from AT&Ts’ site:

iPhone users, get started with Wi-Fi

• Activate Wi-Fi from the settings icon on your iPhone
• Select “attwifi” from the list of available networks
• Enter your 10-digit mobile number and check the box to agree to the Acceptable Use Policy. Tap ‘continue’
• You will receive a text message from AT&T with a secure link to the AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot. You will not be charged for the text message.
• The SMS link will only be valid for 24 hours at the location it was requested. Another request must be submitted when using another hotspot location.
• Open the text message and tap on the link for 24-hour access to the AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot

Apple has posted sessions from it’s developer conference. There is a good amount of content covering Iphone App and Iphone Safari development. It is well worth a look.
