Novidades Apple

Só alguns comentários:
1) Lá se foi o iPod mini. IPod quê ? Não vejo isso no site ? Queres quanto por isso ?
2) O preto(o iPod) deve ser mesmo fixe para deixar dedadas. Vem com paninho ?
3) Pq é que o headphone jack é em baixo ? Dá algum jeito ? Vou andar com o iPod de pernas para o ar no bolso ?
4) Preferia-o mais grosso e menos comprido. Piadas fáceis não! :->

O telemovél ? Who cares ?

"Boom-and-bust recipe" ?
There is no doubt in my mind that podcasting is not only here to stay but will also shortly threaten established media broadcast systems. It's not so much that they will all be destroyed by homebrew networks, but podcasts will be taking away just enough listeners to be a major concern.
(...)
But as I pointed out on a recent show, these numbers are nothing, because only the geeks are really into the whole idea of podcasting in the first placeearly adopters. Most people are still on the model exploited by Books on Tape, if even that! But if you consider the idea that Books on Tape can be Books on the Internet, and that specialty broadcastingaka narrowcastingcan be viable, then it's suddenly clear that the media scene has just changed again.
(...)
Here's what is going to happen. At some point, and it would be fine with me if it was the Twit podcast (probably the most listened-to podcast as of now), one of these things is going to get a million listeners. Nielsen will notice and real numbers will evolve for the whole scene. Then big media will be asking, "How did this happen? How did this sneak up on us?"

An executive at Disney will be in a meeting and ask the staff how many people knew this was going on, and three geeks in the back will raise their hands. Then slowly two-thirds of the room will raise their hands. None of these people will have known that everyone already knew. It's about then that podcasting will suddenly become the rage. It'll be a Time magazine cover. That will be by the middle of next year. Then the money will start flying around like crazy.

And there's your real boom-and-bust recipe. Should be fun to watch. Ah, I love cycles!

I personnaly still can't see this happen, the "boom" part that is. At least like blogs/syndication did, nevertheless... ;-)

Update:
Pronto, já começou...
Podcast Alley, the grassroots podcast directory that played a big role in spurring the popularity of podcasting, has been acquired by PodShow. The deal happened last month, we're told, and founder Chris McIntyre is already making the move from Nashville to San Francisco.

I'm not alone
There’s no doubt about it — maintaining a day job while all your instincts are roaring in another direction is one of the toughest things a creative soul can endure. If you’re keeping body and soul together for hourly wages and then find yourself too tired or distracted or frustrated to be creative after work, you’re not alone.
