So my buddy, who is an all out Droid fan, decided he wanted (and i quote) "The features of your iPhone 4 without the crap"...so he thought it'd be a great idea to go buy a brand spanking new iPod Touch 4G.
Yesterday, after our shifts were over, he comes to me while i'm finishing up some paper work and says "YO! Guess what man! I have your iPhone 4 but i only spent a couple hundred bucks! AND i still have my droid!" I, being a tech geek, just kind of smiled at his alpha male tirade, and let him stand there with his caveman look on his face, jumping around, pointing and making noise as if he just created fire...after a minute of this, i was a bit humored knowing what i knew about the iPod's camera, but he was diligent in his need to prove my iPhone weak and inferior, so i asked "Let's compare a picture shall we?" He filled with testosterone, chest puffed out, voice unnaturally deep..."You're going to be sad" he says...a smile comes to my face and the challenge begins.
One picture each...same subject, my half empty orange gatorade bottle. The outcome can be seen below...the first photo is the iPod, the second is the iPhone.
No HDR...just a plain picture.
He was distraught, and i simply sat there with a smile and asked "Still loving that iPod camera?"
Now i cant blame him completely, Apple did do what they could to avoid spilling the beans on the details of the iPods precious addition, and really, in my opinion, kind of misled alot of people into thinking the iPod pulled all the iPhone features into a cheaper iPod package...but in this specific case, i had to take pleasure in the results.
