N95 Takes On Journalism

Good write up at Symbian Guru about N95 takes on journalism. I agree with the statement: “If a handset could ever have journalists ditch their huge cameras, microphones, satellites and huge broadcasting trucks and go “mobile”, it could only be the N95.” yes, indeed, you’ve got everything needed in this little box called N95.

The story goes like this:

First Darren made good use of the N95 camera to shoot pictures and video, as well as Shozu to upload his takes to the BBC servers, Flickr, YouTube and Blip. In his post, he explores the positives as well as the negatives of the experience. Mainly he noticed the speed and functionality of the device, but was struck by the lack of a decent battery life and external microphone. Steve Litchfield of AllAboutSymbian found a nifty trick previously demo’ed by Steve Garfield where you could use the built-in microphone on the supplied headset’s remote control, to record better audios on the Nseries devices. The string, which is usually 70-80 cm long, should allow better audio quality at a 1m distance, or more.

You might want to give it try with your N95 to come up with something on serious business.
