Question. If you know the length of a video, and the megapixel per second resolution, is there a rule of thumb for predicting video size? Or does it vary too much for there to be a useful rule of thumb?
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

You'd also need the codec and the bitrate.

Hey. New board.
Technically, all you'd need is the length and the bitrate - unit analysis says length in seconds times bitrate in bits/second = bits. I'm not sure what megapixel-per-second resolution is... that sounds like it might connect to bitrate somehow?

thanks, -t. I'd appreciate it.

It works! Pretty nicely. You have to download the free Nike+ iPod app (or possibly you can just turn on Nike + iPod in Settings, I did both), but you don't need the dongle that the Nano does. You do need the sensor in your shoe (or on your laces). You can upload your run as soon as you are finished AND look at the nikerunning mobile site right there on the phone, immediate gratification FTW. I didn't try the heart rate band so I don't know that works, yet.
I actually meant to try out the Nike+ GPS app, but having the free "native" iPod app confused me...tomorrow...
Anyway, short answer, I like it. If you do go Nike+, I am TamaraS on there for exercise networking purposes.

thanks! I'm going to check it out after I buy the thing this weekend. I'll add you once I'm on there.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
seems iOS 5 has the ability to change the vibration sequence for individual callers. You can even record your own patterns. Alas, it doesn't look like you can assign custom buzz sequences for text, voice mail, calendar alerts. A partial win. Maybe with the next update.
Anyhow, it's something you turn on in the Settings/General/Accessibility section. And then edit the contact in your address book and you can select which vibration tone you want for that caller.

I was playing around with that today. It's pretty amusing.
So, best idea ever or best idea ever: Siri (aka Skynet) operating like Tom Tom, so that Stephen Fry could tell me in a lovely posh voice that my text has been sent?

So any recommendations on what to look for in a wireless router? I have a small apartment, so a huge range isn't necessary, but I want it to be fast. How much should I expect to spend for a decent one?

I just bought this one: [link]
And have been very happy with it's speed. There are five or six devices on it at any given time, and it hasn't suffered in speed or use.
