Hi Richard, So, the person you sell your device to will have to sign up for the Verizon/AT&T phone contract which will reveal the fact that there is indeed an Apple iPhone involved in the product? (Isn’t the 2 year contract about $2,000 total?)
If the product is not concealing the iPhone, then again, why would I as a user want such a high end price wise one trick pony iPhone device? Is the playback of the Slo-Mo at 30fps then since it is billed as being at 1/4 speed playback? Not having said device in my possession this is a somewhat interesting feature. (I’m curious as to why Apple doesn’t allow normal video recording at 120fps as an option.)
