Cool idea, but i would be pissed if i had to read with a iphone like that. I can’t see it being a full thing that we will use daily, but a option.

I think it’s a cool idea but I am planning on not using it in the way shown in the video.

I am planning on covering my wall with photo’s of occasions from the summer and not I am going to take more videos. When I stick up the pictures I can then link it through to a video of the occasion to remember.

It creates a use for the shots that don’t make it into the montage that I plan on making at the end of the summer!

I was going to say the same thing, i’m all for the evolution of media, but this just seems stupid. It’s unintuitive to read a magazine and have to pickup your phone, open the app, wait for focus, take a photo, and then view a tiny video on an already small screen. It’s slow, theres no flow and it just doesn’t make any sense.

I’ve seen the Photoshop User magazine has had a few of these, mosty on the Ad sections.
Personally I think it’s inconvinient and a disturbing element to need to pick up your phone on every other page? I usually read on the train, plane etc. and prefer to hold my coffeecup in the free hand rather than the phone :)
