Mom My Ride May 5, 2007

Musings on MP3s and audio media January 10, 2007
I thought some of you would enjoy this blog from David Byrne about the co-evolution of music and recording mediums. There are some interesting questions near the end about whether music will be created that is produced specifically for MP3 and headphone listening. Not sure I’ve seen that but who knows what our kids will be listening to in 10 years.
AppleTV and iPhone January 9, 2007
I’m watching the MacWorld keynote with Steve Jobs right now on a live transcript. He intro’ed the Apple TV (formerly iTV) which is a set top box that hooks up to your TV. Lets you watch movies, TV shows, listen to music, look at photo slide shows, etc all streamed from your PC or Mac via iTunes. $300. Pretty sweet.
They also announced a deal with Paramount for more movies. Passed their 2 billion songs downloaded mark. Selling 5 million songs a day. Moved up a spot over Amazon as 4th biggest music reseller.
But even better is the iPhone. It’s super thin and all touch screen. Multi-touch gestures to control it. 8 GB iPod built-in. 2 MP camera. Can show wide-screen. Proximity sensor, light sensor, accelerometer (can tell if you are showing portrait or landscape). Visual voicemail. Wifi and EDGE connectivity. Works with Cingular only I guess. I’m drooling – looks amazing. $500 for 4 GB and $600 for 8 GB. Available in June (still needs FCC approval).
I feel very happy with my decision to buy some AAPL stock last week (up 5% on the day right now). Wish I’d bought more…. :)
Pretty good coverage on the Engadget transcript although I’m sure all the Apple store stuff will be up later today as well.
