WVIL

On

WVIL is an attachement for your mobile phone that brings the DSLR and phone together like never before.  It captures 31mb images, gives you complete exposure/white balance control, add effects, and upload your images to your favorite online sites.  To take things even further the lens is detachable and wireless with the camera back!

 

Where can you get it?  NOWHERE!  WVIL is not real.  Artefact, an amazing agency created WVIL as a concept camera so we could all drool about owning it.  Check out all of the links to the concepts amazing features below.

If you are looking for something to hold you over until a WVIL-esque product becomes reality try Red Pop!  Red Pop is an attachment for your iPhone that gives you a large “Red Pop” button like a normal camera to take snap your photos.

iCloud + iTunes Match + $24.99… Sign me up!

I couldn’t be happier with Apple’s announcement today. I was positive we would all be left frustrated about the music we have “ripped” (pun intended) and not purchased through the iTunes store. Luckily Apple really hit a home run on this one and left us with few complaints… so far. I’ll be eager to see how seamless and what issues if any come up down the road with users streaming their audio from the almighty iCloud.

Another plus for me is the free 5gb of storage that Apple provides. I am always teetering the complimentary Dropbox limit as I only use it for psd’s and a simple transfer and storage of certain files.

As far as iOS5 goes time will tell. I’m sure it will be really nice and in the same breath create a lot more reasons for people to complain and be frustrated with what it’s not. Apple continues to adopt successful apps and jailbreak features which is great. However, I feel sorry for the small companies and developers that have great ideas which end up getting assimilated into Apple’s base operating systems.

I’m sure OSX Lion will be great, but from a design standpoint I’m a little disappointed in the copy paste look of iOS. I know it will be a huge undertaking, but I look forward to the next redesigned Apple interface.
