Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

In that video I linked to earlier, they said the Windows software was in beta.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There's no reason to assume Mac compatible is iOS compatible, especially with the differences in the capability of the hardware.

I've seen a couple cameras that are for the iPad. Are there many?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Ah, I found the Support page. It says:

"Lytro Desktop for Windows will be available in early 2012, and will support the Red Hot, Electric Blue and Graphite models of the Lytro Camera that you can order right now."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

There's an add-on to allow iPad camera connection by USB, but I don't know how universal it is. It supposedly works with CueCats. How that would or would not work with Lytro I can't speculate.

And further on the Lytro:

"You will be able to choose a focus point and export to JPG at a minimum 1080 x 1080 pixels."

Ah-ha, finally, the answer to actual question:

There is not yet an iPad/iPhone app, but they're working on it. You will be able to view and refocus living pictures via the iPad and iPhone app, when they are released. Note that you will NOT be able to transfer pictures directly from the Lytro Camera to your iPad or iPhone. These apps are only for viewing living pictures, and an active internet connection will be required. Right now, you can still experience living pictures at lytro.com via the native mobile browsers on your iPad and iPhone.

They're offering storage on lytro.com for photos, as I understand it.

That makes it sound like you can't store them locally, which is weird. I mean, they're yours, and it's just about the app that's fancy, no?

No, you can store them locally, on your Mac... and soon on your PC. But not on Linux.

I'm just trying to avoid c&p'ing everything from there to here in my enthusiasm.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee, enthuse away. I like catching it.

Ok, I just spent half an hour doing it, but I set up a Bedtime profile which triggers a Shush task (my terms) and I am so happy. I am so buying this for the SO and setting it up for him.
