Sat Bits

Whilst responding to a comment at Public Money on the quality of digital DV camcorders, I recalled an interesting item concerning my next mobile phone. Namely the new Nokia N93 with a 3.2 megapixel lens, three times optical zoom and 30 frames per sec video.

Here's a music video shot entirely on the device, plus a fascinating look at how it was made. Unfortunately the video is compressed for YouTube, a lousy medium at any time, but you'll get an idea of how camera phones are developing.

In other news Tim Blair has a new gig writing a Saturday column for the Daily Telegraph, plus serving as the OpEd editor. Much to the relief of Fairfax after this Crikey speculator.
