Does this mean that a person can download podcasts directly onto their
player/phone without having to go to itunes on a dedicated computer?

Hi Steve -
Happy New Year to you and everyone else on this list.
I think the iPhone marks a very significant development in portable device
convergence. It is the closest thing to what most (if not all) mobile phones
and portable media players will be like in the coming years. I think you'll
still be able to get standalone mobile phones for people who don't care for
the rest and media players for people who don't want/need a phone. Still,
anyone who has tried to buy a "no frills" mobile phone in 2006 knows that
such a thing is no longer available on the high street, except from shops
that sell vintage/2nd-hand electronic equipment. So mobile phones
Does anybody know about any plans for the iPhone in the UK and/or Europe?
Warmly...
...t.s.

Subject: [PODCASTING] The iPhone
Hi everyone,
Happy New Year.
I wondered what members initial thoughts were on Steve Jobsą announcement of
the iPhone yesterday.
For a brief overview go here;
http://www.apple.com/iphone/
It has incredible possibilities and ties together so many ideas (internet,
SMS, widgets, podcasting, videos, bluetooth and Web) that many of the
academic uses we discuss - podcasts, mobile learning, youtube, webcasts -
can all be handled by one device and integrated seamlessly. Just the idea
that enhanced podcasts can be fully utilised on a single, portable device is
exciting.
What does everyone else think ?
Steve
