Why is Google making iPhone users feel left out?

Well, another day, another Google announcement. Last week it was all about the Chrome OS and yesterday it was Google calendar labs along with Google Task. Today Google announces Google Voice Apps for Android and Blackberry.


I’m not surprised by any of the moves that Google have been making lately but not having a few well desired apps for the iPhone already released is kinda starting to bother me. By the way, I thought Google had a partnership with Apple and not RIM/Blackberry anyway. So why the rant? Let’s take a look at three native apps or features I’m waiting in Google to release for the iPhone that should be out already.

1. Google Latitude


I’ve blogged about this before, there are so many ways Google can have Latitude working on the iPhone it’s just crazy that it’s not available already.

2. Native Gmail app with push notification


Oh yeah, the web based version of Gmail on the iPhone us sweet. But if you’re on a 1st or 2nd generation iPhone over 3G the web app is probably not what you want to use for sending and receiving email. I only use the web based Gmail app for searching old emails.

3. Google Voice


I guess with the announcement of the Google voice app it just put me on the edge because I can access the Google Voice web interface on my iPhone where I can read transcribed voice messages. Also I can click on voice messages and play the recorded file via the iPhone’s multimedia player. But would I use a native Google Voice app on my iPhone? You bet!

I guess what bothers me the most is that Google has the time, the money, the developers to make and release these apps for the iPhone but they have yet to see the light of day. It makes perfect sense for Google to have these apps for Android but to have these apps for Blackberry and not the iPhone, I’m feeling left out. :(


This was a rant post by Wayne Sutton, thanks for reading. I feel better now.

5 iPhone 3Gs video tripod options for mobile videographers & better mobile video recording

As the popularity of the iPhone 3Gs grows so seems the amount of mobile video recording and creative ways to use the iPhone 3Gs as a serious video recording device. Since the launch of the iPhone 3Gs YouTube has seen a 1700% increase in mobile video uploads and at lease two music videos (Reyna Perez and Kenny Mosher ) have been produced using just the iPhone. Also we have seen a few custom made iPhone 3Gs shoulder mounts and other handheld devices being made for the up and coming iPhone 3Gs mobile video producer. Let’s take a look at 5 various iPhone 3Gs video devices to help you record better videos.

1. ZGrip Pro for the iPhone.

The ZGrip pro currently cost $295.00 but a lower cost consumer model is on the way.

2. Do-it-yourself Tripod mount

Just make a trip to your local hardware store and add the Contour case for your iPhone and you’ll have a Tripod mount for your iPhone 3Gs.
3. MacBreak’s iPhone 3Gs Video Shoulder mounth

OWLE is new on the scene and in the video they plea for AT&T & Apple to allow Qik to be released in the App Store but this device is rumored to be released around Christmas at a reasonable cost betweet $30.00 – $50.00. 

5. mini spring clamp
This is my home made solution. I went to my local camera shop, Peace Camera and purchased a mini spring clamp tripod mount that will hold my iPhone.

Also you can watch the behind the scenes of one of the iPhone 3Gs music videos. 

They didn’t go into detail about how they made the iPhone 3Gs shoulder mount but if you pause it a couple of times I’m sure you can figure it out.

What are your thoughts on the iPhone 3Gs video attachments and do you think we’ll some made from other manufactures such as Griffin and Incase?
