The iPhone has done amazing things for new media. They’re updating it to 3.0. Here are my thoughts as seen through the lens of Engadget and Crunchgear.
- 13.7 million iPhones sold. Now that’s a market.
- 25k apps and 800 million downloads from the store. Boooooyah.
- Subscriptions coming. Told you. It is the model of the future.
- Inside application ecommerce for the everyman. I thought it was going to be in iTunes – but even better here! You bet we’ll get that talking to Premiumcast.
- Push notification. Dave, your Podcast is ready?
- Hardware talks to iPhone. A true “portable” studio?
- Cut and paste. Nice, but never was a deal killer for me.
- MMS. About time. Always loved explaining to my friends with free phones why they can’t send pictures to my iPhone.
- NO TETHERING. Bummer
- Summer release. To be expected.
And, yes, we’ll be discussing these issues in Podcast Secrets 2009.
