Rob Dickinson, former band leader of "The Catherine Wheel" (and cousin of Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson), has shot the video clip of his new single, "
Oceans" (
iTunes), using a
Nokia N93 cellphone. The Symbian-based smartphone has a 3.2MP camera that is capable of capturing VGA video at 30fps with its Carl Zeiss optics. You can
view the video at Yahoo!'s Music site (with IE) or
via VLC. When the N93 was first launched Nokia tried to market the phone as the first DVD-quality capture phone in the market, but this is the first time that such a device is used for serious, professional purposes.

Why bother posting the link at all if only a minority of those reading this site can view it? :|

(ok, slightly facetious, but why isn't this stuff on youtube so at least the Firefox users on windows can watch it?
