WSJ Makes Apple Tablet Official

Apparently the Wall Street Journal still has journalistic integrity, i.e. they don’t pass on every last unsourced rumor the web is happy to. So when they write up a deeply detailed description of Apple’s tablet plans to be unveiled on January 27th, we’re supposed to take this as gospel. Right? In a nutshell, what’s in store is massive changes to the ways we interact with textbooks, newspapers, magazines and cable TV. Here’s some highlights:

MacRumors digs up a few interesting tidbits buried in a recent report over at the NY Times

According to former Apple employees, Apple has been working on advanced multi-touch gesturing that was originally pioneered by Fingerworks.

Handy iPhone Apps for Filmmakers – Part 1

Continuing the iPhone love, here are five great iPhone applications for anyone making movies, DSLR or otherwise. More to come soon:

IMDB [Free] A highly useful mobile version of the defacto directory of movie making. You can also check out upcoming showtimes and trailers. And did I mention it’s free?

Screen shot 2010-01-05 at 7.11.48 PM.png iSlate [$2.99] is not a total substitute for a timecode synced smart slate, but it’s better than nothing. And it’s incredibly cute with actual useful features like built-in shot logging. Perfect for a run and gun DSLR shoot that wants a little more organization while keeping everything simple and pocketable.

ScriptWrite [$4.99] allows you to create scripts right on your iPhone. Now I wouldn’t recommended creating a screenplay from start to finish this way, it can be a nice way to edit a script or jot down a scene idea whenever inspiration strikes.

Reel Director [$7.99] is a full blown video editor for your iPhone 3GS. Now obviously this requires you to shoot videos with your 3GS and limits your quality but for just goofing around or a quick sketch out of an idea with coverage, this is groundbreaking stuff.
