    That's an excellent point.



    Indeed, I had a nagging suspicion that there was something amiss with folders of iPhone photos and was never able to put my finger on it..... now I know!

    Now why would Apple think the public needs a Nano with a camera? You can't send the pics -so why go through the hassle? I agree with the poster who says all phones already have them and you can send them both MMS and download them bluetooth. Just doesn't seem very practical.

    And what about the lawsuits when people start snapping those pics at the gyms?

    with a screen aspect ratio of 1.5:1, up from 1.33:1



    1.5:1 makes no sense to me (except that some still cameras use that ratio). All new TV production is 1.79:1 and movies are either 1.85 or 2.39:1, except for some European productions where some are 1.66:1. Only pre-1954 movies are 1.33:1. You don't want to letterbox such a small screen. While 1.5:1 is better than 1.33:1, it's still not wide enough.

    It seems like they're starting to pull them out of thin air now.



    which is pretty much like what some of the stuff you come out with



    I don't buy it, at least not until we see some "fake" pics, you know the ones that have been right for how many years now, but the crazies still shout "FAAAKE!" like the are the godz of photoshop

    haha isn't this one of them?



    EDIT: if you search over to iLounge, you will notice that this informant has been 100% accurate in the past. iLounge doesn't report often due to the fact they're very very careful about public image it seems, but when they do post, its generally quite accurate. The 4th Gen rumors came from there.

    Well iLounge was certainly 100% right on their review of the new shuffle- they panned it.

    Who here thinks the matte black back looks kick ass besides me!

    You can use the pics once you get to iTunes on your computer. Who knows, maybe they will be getting WiFi?



    anyway, you can take pics at the gym with your phone.

    The 3:2 ratio is that of the (D)SLR camera. Movies are different to pictures: you don't shoot movies in vertical orientation. And a 1.8:1 or 2.4:1 ration would look silly for portrait photos.

    if this is a change that can be done, why does everyone squawk when there are rumors of an iPhone pad or nano with a larger/smaller/different aspect screen, claiming such a change would require a rewrite of the whole phone OS?



    is it because the phone has a touch screen and the other pods don't? how exactly does that make the resolution/dimensions issue so much different?



    besides: 1.5:1 is the same as 3:2 and 6:4. 4x6 is a pretty standard print format. And while people talk a lot about 8x10 prints, many printers today utilize paper that can produce an 8 x 12 for the same price (they print the 8x10 on 8x12 paper and trim the unused waste) and for a variety of reasons the 8 x 12 is a superior format to 8x10.
