iPhone 5 to Have a Dual LED Flash?


Single (Left) vs Dual (Right) LED comparison with Nokia phones by Zomgitscj

Digitimes claims that the upcoming iPhone 5 will incorporate a dual LED Flash.
Recent market rumors have indicated that Apple's iPhone 5 is likely to come with a dual-LED flash with Taiwan-based LED packaging firms Everlight Electronics, Edison Opto and Lite-On Technology being pinpointed as potential suppliers. All related companies have denied they are involved in the production of dual-LED flashes.
The advantage of a dual LED flash appears to be brighter and more expansive lighting for your photographs. Back in 2008 Zomgitscj showed differences between the dual LED flash and a single LED flash found on his Nokia N96 and Nokia N95. One is shown above but the site has several other examples for the phone at varying distances.

We'd already seen rumors that Apple may be separating the Flash away from the camera sensor in the iPhone 5.

Jump forward or backwards in iTunes

Maybe this is common knowledge, but I had never heard of it. I found out by accident that the key combos Command+Option+Right Arrow and Command+Option+Left Arrow will jump forwards or backwards in the currently playing item, respectively, by five seconds. This is the same key combo that VLC uses to jump forwards and backwards.

[crarko adds: I tested this, and it works as described. This shortcut does not seem to be mentioned in Apple's list of shortcuts for iTunes. It didn't work in QuickTime Player or Quick Look, though.]
