Awesome: The next generation of cell phone photography…
Your Next Cellphone Might Have a 14.6MP Sensor and Shoot 1080p Video
OmniVision has made a new 14.6MB image sensor specifically for cellphones which will give them the ability to shoot 1080p video at a breezy 60 frames-per-second. Considering that we’re talking about cellphones here, that’s quite a nice upgrade.
The OV14825 image sensor is designed to go easy on power consumption and will hopefully enter mass production in the second quarter of this year. There’s no word on when we’ll start seeing it in cellphones, but I’m hoping it’s before I buy my next one, even if it’s uncertain whether phones hitting the market in the near future will be able to process all that data from the sensor.

High-res ever want to capture online images or websites and write all over them?
i do. a lot. when…
giving design feedback
i spot something online that makes me think of someone and I want to add a note to the image before sending
doing research
i’d rather show (via images) than explain (via words) 
i want to attach context or meaning to anything visual (ie all the time)
aviary’s falcon image markup tool makes it really easy to write all over images and then share them. you can move aspects of the image around too. before discovering falcon, i used Skitch. bye, bye skitch…
why falcon is better than skitch:
aviary hosts images for you, making it really easy to share (and if you don’t want to share, you can save to desktop or copy to clipboard)
stronger markup tools (skitch’s editing tools are limited - few colors, 1 font option, no cropping…)
you can move parts of the image around to show how you think it should look or function (i do this when giving design feedback)
it’s also a glorified Paint… you can doodle, create mind maps, etc.
suite of design tools makes it easy to apply more advanced editing post-capture
msg is the co-founder and he’s awesome 
more reasons aviary is cool:
full suite of design tools - it’s the free online Photoshop
record or remix music - like Garageband but free and online
