... that Apple is at least 'playing' in the media arena.

I haven't given Quicktime a lot of praise in the last year or so.

Conspiracy theorists...

you know, we may not give apple credit for a LOT of things. go to the u.s. trademarks office, and look up gigawire's description (and owner), plus the recently filed trademark "iphone" (and it's owner) and the description under the patent and trademarks for "ipod." now re-read the story above, and read maury mccown's two-second thoughts on the significance of ip over firewire last week at railheaddesign.com.

suddenyl, apple's position as a digital hub and media delivery platform seems eerily omnipresent (and if done right, omnipotent, too).

how about..

..the iPod? I think Apple will ultimately end up with a color screen on the iPod where one could put their iMovies/iPhotos on it.

heck, you can already put music (iTunes), addresses (Address Book), and calendars (iCal) on it.. it just makes sense for it to evolve to movies/pictures.

dontcha think?

Re: Conspiracy theorists

one point of clarification: the trademark for "iphone" is not in the u.s. i believe it's in either or both the UK and Australia. so it'll have to be named something else here in North America (which is not unheard of). and yes, i agree - you will see the iPod become the container for all of the media that Apple's iApps produce. iPhotos, iMovies, iCals, iTunes... makes a lot of sense.

I 'm wondering

I was searching my hard drive, and I accidentaly found some camera and microphone icons within the folder where the iChat smilies are.

Now Apple is going to release Quicktime with mobile media support.

Steve Wozniak is going to show up at MacWorld in January. (to get the idea go to www.danger.com)

Where does all this lead?

NOW THAT MAKES ME WONDER!!!!

digital video to go

As much noise as has been made about the default 'look' in QT, think again about the simplicity of the QT interface and then look at its competition. Can you imagine putting the Real player or the WMP on a phone screen with anything to spare for oh, I dunno,... CONTENT? It's like that SNL skit with the news channels that end up with about a pixel's worth of content space after all the banners and ads and crawls and and and... of course if your distribution model relies on advertising, you'll need all that space to make a go of it.

Oh, that's odd... the mobile version of WMP has a super simple interface... who would'a thunk it?

DoCoMo

If Apple is in league with DoCoMo they have already won this race.

iPod as video player

I wouldn't say no to watching my home vids (or any other vids for that matter) in black and white. It would also make me put the color screen version on the top of my list of must have purchases.

re: how about?

There's a reason Apple dubbed it "iPod"... it leaves it open to do much more than play MP3s. I think your speculation is right on the money. iPod *will* eventually get a color screen and be able to play your iMovies and sync with iPhoto. Sooner rather than later. And because iPod's price is already somewhat inflated, Apple will look like a hero when they bundle this functionality in at the current price points.

Yeah, but I remember the conspiracy theorists mulling over apple's purchase of mammals.org and how that was going to change, gee, I don't remember, Apple's place in education, or mark the influx of some type of software, or maybe the start of their own African Safari travel business. Still nothing happening there. Generally these 'theories' are all c*** anyways.

Vendors and retailers will consider dropping MP3 players, digital cameras and CD/DVD media if a recording industry-backed media levy is ratified, according to a new coalition.

The Canadian Coalition for Fair Digital Access (CCFDA) was created by the Retail Council of Canada and consists of
vendors such as AMD, Apple, Creative Labs, Hewlett-Packard Canada, Motorola Canada, Sony Canada, and Intel Canada. The group also has prominent retailers such as Best Buy/Future Shop, Costco, Radio Shack, London Drugs, and Staples/Business Depot.

The CCFDA is working with Industry and Heritage Canada to stop the newly purposed levy that would see the cost of a pack of 100 blank CD soar 181 per cent. Currently, a pack of 100 blank CDs includes a levy of $21 on a retail price that averages $50. If the Canadian Private Copying Collective's (CPCC) proposal is approved, this levy could average $59 per pack at an average retail price of $88 plus tax, said Diane Brisebois, president and CEO of the Retail Council of Canada.

Both ministries have asked Parliament to review the private copying provisions of the Copyright Act, she said. However, the coalition warned that if the proposed levy is approved retailers and vendors will be forced to reconsider offering products that the levy affects.

Brian Levy, president and CEO of InterTan/Radio Shack, said he did not know of any vendors who were at the point of pulling products from the Canadian market, but he said MP3 players would be the first to go. Again, if the proposed levy is approved MP3 players such as Creative Labs's Nomad, RCA's Lyra, and Apple's Ipod will increase $112 or more on average, Brisebois said.
