Using your iPhone as a TV Tuner
iPhone has a handy TV-Out functionality that lets you watch stored video on a TV monitor connected to the iPhone, and as demonstrated in the video above, can even push live camera input through the updated MediaPlayer framework included in version 2.2 of the iPhone SDK.
Developer/blogger Erica Sadun enlisted members of her family to assist in documenting this cool development over the Thanksgiving holiday, and credits fellow developers Drunkenbass and Greg “go2” Hartstein with helping her integrate user input through iPhone’s on-screen controls.
As Sadun mentions in her post at Ars Technica, this feature may useful in making the iPhone an active participant in the development of new video/phone hybrid apps and as a vehicle for delivering Keynote/PowerPoint-style presentations.
With iPhone, it just keeps getting better and better.
