Need An App For This
This is a post for iPhone App and Mac application developers.
Recently I was looking at the Epson’s P-6000 photo viewer. Nice device but it’s more than I want to spend. Then it occured to me, hey my iPhone has a great screen. Why hasn’t any one made an app that will do what the Epson (and other brands too) do. All I really need to do is view my images on something better than the screen on the back of my Nikon. It would also have the added bonus of being able to wirelessly upload images to wherever I need. Even my Mac at home. Obviously the storage on the iPhone (or even the iPod Touch for that matter) doesn’t compare to the Epson products. But I always have my phone with me.
So what I’d Iike to see:
1. The ability to upload images off the camera and store them in the camera roll already on the iPhone. This should be done through wifi, if the camera is equiped, or tethering. In fact the wifi should just be an option, it should be a tethered process first.
2. The ability to pick and choose images and upload them to where ever I need. (Like the Eye-Fi App but now I can upload images from another camera.) Also I still want to have the option of syncing the images when I sync the phone with my Mac, like normal. At that time is when I’d decide to erase the disk or not.
3. Obviously this is going to need a piece of hardware to make it work. So what I see is a device that had a SD card reader on one end and the male end of the flat USB port (sorry if I don’t know the right term for that.) Basically it’ll look like a regular SD reader but with a different USB plug. Presently I’m using SD cards but it doesn’t have to limited to just these cards.
4. Would like to also have a cable with the mini USB plug on one end for the camera and the iPhone Jack on the other. An adapter to go from a regular USB plug to the iPhone port would just as good. In fact that might just be the easiest way as we all have USB cables lying around anyway.
Lastly it would be cool if the iPhone can Geo tag the images as I unpload in the field. This option should able to be turned off if I’m uploading somewhere else.
Oh yeah, I’m real generous so I’m not looking for any patents, copyrights or the residuals. Just build it and I’ll buy it.
