Talking about Run-on sentence!

" In addition to this fledgling new format, the folks in Cupertino caused an explosion of mobile video with their iPhone 3GS, have developed their own adaptive bitrate HTTP streaming, and taken easy-to-use consumer video to stupidly small new levels with the recent release of the iPod Nano with a built-in video camera.

Hmm… I wonder if the iPhone 3GS will eventually take advantage of this. The Samsung processor that powers it is capable of handling 720p video, which is a greater resolution than the new iFrame format of 960×540. And a little math shows that 960×540 = 518,400 pixels, which is far less than the 3-megapixel sensor in the handset.
