Today I received the iPhone 4S, It arrived via UPS about 9:30AM. Setting it up was no problem. I had already setup the new Apple iCloud so I was ready to go. However a major problem did happen. The AT&T server seem to crash because of all of us who where trying to activate the iPhone. It took nearly 4.5 hours before I was able to get activated. Was the wait worth it? Yes!

Once activated one of the first things I wanted to try was the updated camera. This camera is a 8MP that also has an HDR feature that you are able to turn on. It takes three images and does all the HDR processing in camera and give you an original along with the HDR image. Will have some samples posted via the Blog soon.

Another cool feature is that when you take a photo with the iPhone 4S the images will show up within my iPad 2 and MacBook Pro (2009 2.66) within Aperture 3. It also works with iPhoto if you use that program. When the images shows up in Aperture it creates a new project with the current date. You do not have to do anything but activate Photo Stream via Preferences within Aperture. That’s it. It just works. Very cool.

Now one of the other mean new features with the iPhone 4S is Siri. This is where you talk to the phone an asked it questions. I did a number of test questions. I will have to admit it works pretty good. When I made a mistake it would let me know and even call me by name (Stuart) to inform me I messed up. Really cool. I even asked Siri to setup some upcoming appointments and it did. it even told me I had a conflict and asked if I wanted to rearrange the appointments.

Tomorrow I plan to cover a car show in this area and will post some images here on the Blog from both the new iPhone and my other cameras.
