"Who's it for?"
Anyone who's either just purchased or is
about to purchase a top end phone or smartphone - this isn't
supposed to be TV for uber-geeks or programmers, it's more
'all about smartphones for the rest of us'.
"What happened to your MP4 downloads and feed?"
12 years after starting the show, almost
everyone now watches in streaming form, via this web site or
directly on YouTube, plus the 540p MP4s were starting to look
too shabby. Plus there are logistical issues, server-side. So,
for all these reasons, the MP4 feed has been axed as of Autumn
2018. If you're blind and relied on grabbing these files in
order to listen
though, or if you simply prefer audio, I've resurrected the MP3
version's
feed.
"When does it come out?"
In busy times, every week or two. When
there's less to review or cover, every two or three weeks.
Meanwhile, the weekly Phones Show Chat
audio podcast keeps a scheduled beat going with my
thoughts - and guests!
"Shot ON a smartphone? Really?"
Yes, virtually all of The Phones Show is
shot (video and stills) on a phone. In previous times, I've
used the Nokia N93, N86, Samsung i8910 HD, N8, Lumia 1020 and
808 PureView (the Nokia phones have
always had by far the best captured audio and video quality).
I wanted to demonstrate how powerful some of these modern
devices are in terms of multimedia creation. The Show is the
proof.... My latest are the Samsung Galaxy S9+, Huawei P30
Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro, though I'm still mixing and matching -
let me know what you think of the capture quality.
"Your Show has helped me, how can I help you?"
In many ways: by spreading the word to your friends and colleagues; by linking to The Phones Show (use http://stevelitchfield.com/) from your blog or web page; by using the small Google ads on these pages; by buying your must-have devices and accessories through Steve's Amazon Store, by asking for a free GiffGaff SIM with free credit, and, most of all, by making a small donation to help keep the show going.
