What Do You Love and/or Hate About Your Smart Phone?

I'll be participating in a podcast regarding the iPhone and smart phones in general today. One of our talking points will be centered around the results from this survey. If you get a chance to take it before 2 pm central today, we will have a better sampling of data. It only takes a brief minute or two to complete.

Why Should I Have My Listing in iTunes?

We've been answering that question for over a year now. Those that have reaped the benefit of increased exposure to their listings now have something else to be excited about. Just think, after all those iPhones get activated in iTunes, the user is just a few clicks away from our ever expanding directory of clients. Sweet.

MLPodcast Viewer 1.5 Released!

MLPodcast has released an all new web based viewer window for our client's video podcast content. Recent advances in display devices and software such as, iTunes, Apple T.V. and the upcoming release of the iPhone have changed the standard video display size for podcasting content. This change allows us to provide a web viewing experience about twice the size of our previous interface! Along with the viewer size change we're now displaying detailed listing information that was previously only embedded in the podcast feed data. A "View More Listings" link has been added that takes the viewer to the broadcast listing page in the MLPodcast video directory.

Beginning today, all podcast episodes will be produced in the new file size. We have many more features, improvements and distribution partnerships to announce soon as well. Stay tuned!

06.29.07 - iPhone Arrives - New Ads Online

The iPhone arrives on the 29th. Apple has also released 3 new iPhone ads ( 1, 2, 3, ) on their web site. Very well done indeed. Apple continues to set the bar high for tech advertising. Intel, Dell and most of the companies in this space really need to take a cue from Cupertino. Simple, to the point and the product does the selling.

I'm really hoping for the sake of my Realtor® friends that the lock box manufacturers will quickly add this phone to their list of devices for property access, there's no reason for them not to. Even without the lockbox access, the iPhone is poised to become the ultimate Realtor® communication device. Oh, and did I mention it shows W I D E Screen Video Podcasts? :) Can't wait to get my hands one one.

Another Apple Milestone - The iPhone is Here!

As expected, Apple unleashed it's latest major product announcement yesterday. The iPhone has arrived and it is nothing short of amazing.

"iPhone is a widescreen iPod with touch controls that lets you enjoy all your content — including music, audiobooks, videos, TV shows, and movies — on a beautiful 3.5-inch widescreen display. It also lets you sync your content from the iTunes library on your PC or Mac. And then you can access it all with just the touch of a finger."

This phone is beautiful and even operates on the Mac OSX operating system. To those who have never experienced OSX, this means stability and ease of use. It also means that full blown applications can be developed to work on it. Now you can see why Apple hasn't released a Tablet computer, they leapfrogged the mobile world with a device protected by a stack of patents. Touch Screen controls and Keyboard, Conference Calling, WiFi, Bluetooth, Broadband Internet access in a REAL Internet browser (Safari), random access "visual voice mail",free IMAP E-mail with in line photos from Yahoo, camera, photo management system, Video and more are packed into a design that only Apple could create. Your MLPodcast videos will look and sound awesome on this new device! It's slated for release in June '07 with Cingular. Knowing Apple, that could be any day between now and then.
