I want exposure control for the iPhone camera so that I can build an HDR camera application for the IPhone. Tripod mount also needed.

If it helps (not really, probably) tapping the screen on the 3Gs not only chooses the focus area, but also the light-metering area.

A vertical tripod could be made with a spare plug, but I have yet to figure out how to have a simple horizontal tripod for the iPhone.

Rachel, that's very clever.

Would love to be able to do HDR on my iPhone - needs to be handheld if possible!

Joby makes a great portable iPhone tripod for Time Lapse footage. HDR will raise the bar. #HDR #PhotoMatix #TimeLapse #dropular

The question "what does a post iPhone world look like" is cool. The rambling about twittering a machine in a hospital is nonsense.
- Jason Wehmhoener
Agreed. I think he just means making them internet enabled/aware and then exposing a communications API to communicate with them. The time for that is WAAAAAY past.
- Internet's Tad
True. But Twitter? heh, no.
- Jason Wehmhoener
Seriously Jason? Nonsense? A public and open place where people interact with other people AND objects that interface with people, such as machines and equipment? With timestamps for checks and balances? You're off here.
- drew olanoff
That doesn't really sound like twitter drew. That sounds like maybe something Twitter could be an extension of/to, but I don't want my hardware comm dependent on a single, flaky service like Twitter.
- Internet's Tad
There was a small trace of this recently with a tool that allows one to "control" your own PC. The limitations are many, but it is worthwhile as a hint of what may come. I don't think that I would want it to be a Twitter text interface. Instead, I would think that a something more akin to FriendFeed's rooms with graphic objects might be better. That groups devices logically and...

Jason: why not? It's a query language we're all being trained to use. Did you know you can already query the border crossing between Washington State and Canada and find out the wait time there? There's also a buoy in Half Moon Bay that's Tweeting. And lots of other objects already. Why NOT an IV machine?
- Robert Scoble
Tad: lots of devices are dependent on a single flaky OS like Windows. Doesn't seem to hurt their utility! :-)
- Robert Scoble
Mission critical apps dependent on the fail whale? No thank you. Twitter is more at home in the realm of ephemeral infotainment.
- LogEx
OS is a bit different than a communications service. But I'm guessing you wouldn't REALLY want to connect up medical machines with anything less than a rock solid communcations service... Twitter in its current incarnation certainly wouldn't qualify. I think we get your general gist, though, and I agree.
- Internet's Tad
I buy the scenario, just not the players. If it exists, it'll be on open standards.

And I don't see a better remote control than iPhone appearing anywhere on the horizon. Though the whole web will still be the primary workstation.
- Christopher Galtenberg
The concept of post-iPhone almost seems like the idea of post-PC. There is no post-. There's just a wider ecosystem. But I like the thought exercise.
- Christopher Galtenberg
Who will build the eyeglasses that get us post-monitor. Or the sensing devices or implants that get us post-input. Watch game companies.
- Christopher Galtenberg
Who builds the device, or maybe just an app, that turns complete strangers into best friends like they were meant to be. That turns isolated wizards into world-beating collaborators.
- Christopher Galtenberg
Christopher: even better! :-)
- Robert Scoble
Who fine-tunes the noise of real-time into pure delicious signal. Who builds the thing that becomes the login for all other websites, like email addresses are now. Who figures out how to stop that "right wing" thing from happening to people. This is the stuff :)
- Christopher Galtenberg
Keep us juiced and thinking, Robert! Love it.
- Christopher Galtenberg
Think about the interface between devices and the "attention economy". There will need to be a way to manage what and who people need to pay attention to in a variety of time scales, some by minute and others by day or even less.
- JR Holmes
From Robert's original idea about a tweet-enabled device, that is nothing that makes that necessary. Why not just have a hospital IRC channel and a way to monitor device status via that channel. Since it is internal, it can be secure and yet exposed via a VPN if a doctor wants to monitor remotely. This perfectly reflects Robert's original conception of devices using text commands (and...

I really like Christopher's questions. I still think Twitter is a laughable piece of software that happens to have a lot of users, but that I don't want anywhere near any piece of machinery in a hospital.
- Jason Wehmhoener
This sort of real time messaging already exists with Tibco and IQ messaging and a host of other SOA systems. Although I admit it's not as easy to use as the examples being stated. It's also massively expensive and difficult to implement.
