Although the iPhone 3gs natively takes spectacular video, you cannot simply take a frame grab but there is an easy solution that involves no jailbreaking or hacking.
Step 1: select the video you want a frame from in your camera roll and turn your phone on its side to enter landscape mode (so it’s wider than tall) the video automatically fills the entire iPhone screen.
Step 2: use the scrub bat up top to skip to the frame you want to capture. Pause the video on this point
Step 3: tap on the screen anywhere to make the video controls dissapear and all you can see just the video.
Step 4: hold the sleep/wake button on top of the phone and then press the home button on the front of the iPhone and a screenshot is taken and saved to the camera roll.
You now had a still image of the frame on the movie you want!
I isn’t the same an iPhone photo though the resolution is less and it’s in PNG format but unless you get the photo on a computer and use a professional video editing program it’s the closest you can get.
Also the iPhone video is only 640×480 resolution so it won’t create anymore than a VGA resolution still from a video.
The telecommunications sector had 4,600 fewer jobs in May than in April, employing 929,500 positions in May. However, the year-over-year employment figures show a loss of 47,800 jobs since May 2009 – a nearly 4.9% increase, according to new U. RCR Wireless News

demonstrations.
Lately there’s been much ado about the machine-to-machine communications area and the potential it holds for the wireless industry. There are several reasons for the renewed attention: device module prices are declining, wireless networks are faster and the various vertical groups have a better understanding of wireless networks and how they can help their businesses. But perhaps the biggest reason behind the renewed push in M2M is that the nation’s wireless operators are finally seeing the growth potential and focusing their attention on this area.
It’s interesting that we are talking about M2M again. I remember writing articles about wireless telemetry and asset tracking for industries like long-haul trucking and meter reading more than a decade ago, when wireless verticals were considered “niche” markets that offered interesting applications. Today, it’s impossible to classify these M2M verticals as niche markets when you consider the growth potential they hold for the industry. Berg Research estimates that the number of wireless M2M connections will grow at an annual rate of 25.6 percent to reach 187.1 million connections in 2014.
Of course, long-haul trucking and meter reading are just a few of the industries that can use wireless technology to make their businesses better and more efficient. Mobile health and smart grids are two areas that are getting a lot of attention today because of the potential they hold. But there are still a lot of uncertainties about both. On the mobile health front, patient and doctor willingness to implement these solutions is tied directly to whether insurance companies will reimburse for these solutions. Meanwhile, in the smart grid space, President Obama’s stimulus package has helped propel the industry, and there are now 100 smart grid projects planned to launch in the next five years. But there are regulatory hurdles, and utility companies are notoriously slow moving when it comes to technology.
FierceWireless decided to take a deep-dive into the M2M space and look specifically at certain vertical markets as well as provide some insight into the overall potential for this market. Check out our latest ebook, “The M2M Opportunity,” here. –Sue

HomePipe Networks now allows streaming of iTunes music to Android phones and devices.
Users can stream home audio to a browser or Android device or Apple mobile device, over 3G or Wi-Fi.
Users update
their HomePipe iPhone or Android App and they stream
audio content from their home network.
The
Music stays in place at home and is unmodified. There’s no need to upload or
copy your copyrighted material to the cloud. Uers get access to music and other audio content including home photos,
videos, or any other files, from anywhere, anytime and don’t have
worry about what or what not to take with them.
Select HomePipe users have been using the audio steaming
capability in advance of its public availability. “My music library is
far too large to pay for cloud storage, it simply would cost way too
much today. Also, I have more music and photos that no longer fit on my
mobile device. Now with HomePipe, I always have my music, problem
solved.” says Gene Abramov – musician and computer security expert.
10 Free Android Apps 2Day: Weather, Rings and Jokes.
The HomePipe Service which launched in March of 2010, works
with any firewall with no changes whatsoever, setup is instant, and the
service is free. The HomePipe software installs quickly on a Windows PC
or Apple Mac without any expensive or clumsy hardware.
With HomePipe,
users don’t need to move their home files or configure their home
network or laptop. Using the new HomePipe App on their Android phone,
users have instant access to everything they need for work or pleasure.
And, unlike other cloud-based storage services, where users
are limited to a certain amount of storage, or where copyrighted
materials may be a challenge, HomePipe is completely free for all your
personal content. With HomePipe, people can access their content right
from their home network, which means users don’t have to worry about
paying monthly fees to store content online or have to worry about
exceeding storage limitations that never seem to be enough.
Steve Jobs is expected to announced the new iPhone 4, today at WDDC. Some analysts have compiled some factoids and opinions. His announcement will start at 10:00 PDT.
iSuppli Corp, reminded us, Apple in the first quarter shipped 8.8 million iPhones, giving it a 3.04 percent share of the market for all kinds of cell phones. Company shipments rose by 0.2 percent from 8.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, giving Apple the No. 6 position in the market in the first quarter, up from ninth place in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Apple’s strong iPhone sales are boosting its Macintosh sales. The company was the only U.S. PC OEM that managed to outperform the PC market in the first quarter. Apple’s PC shipments rose by 32.4 percent from a year earlier.
Adam Leach, principal analyst at Ovum, said: “In three short years the iPhone has become the industry benchmark for high-end smartphones and the fourth generation device will only reinforce this view. The success of the iPhone is down to a number of interrelated factors. First, Apple created a device with a genuinely unique user experience, one that consumers still find engaging and easy to use. Second, Apple wrapped this user experience into a well designed and sleek form factor. Third, the company created an end-to-end platform that integrates Apple’s own services (eg iTunes) as well as third party services onto the device (through the hugely successful App Store).
“But perhaps more important subsequently has been Apple’s ability to build and motivate a large and active developer community that produces content, in the form of apps, exclusively for the device. This ecosystem of developers and the value they bring to the platform, as well as to consumers, is the hardest aspect of the iPhone proposition for other companies to replicate, especially given the reluctance of developers to support multiple software platforms. It is also the reason Apple is so keen to protect this community from disintermediation by the open web and hence its rather tough stance with Adobe over Flash.
“However, the iPhone 4G faces much stiffer competition than its predecessors. The rise of Google Android over the last two years has been phenomenal and is allowing manufacturers to create appealing alternatives to the iPhone; critically at cheaper prices. These handsets are more than just iPhone clones. The risk to Apple is that these devices offer greater freedom with available content and may prove more appealing, if it offers the right user and developer experience, than a device with Apple approved content only. This may ultimately be what puts the brakes on unlimited iPhone growth.”
