There was a lot of iPhone news this week. Much of it concerned rumors of features that may be included in the next iPhone that Apple will release, but so many of those predictions are mere guesswork that I won’t comment on them here, except to note that I think it would be a good idea for Apple to include a better camera with video recording capabilities in the next iPhone. But there was other news, and here are a few iPhone-related stories that caught my eye this week. If you missed them, click the links for more information.
- DRM-free music and variable pricing on iTunes. (Macworld)
- GM and Segway have come up with what looks like a really cool iPhone accessory. (iLounge)
- New Gmail interface for iPhone. I really like the pop-up menus.
- Video preview of the classic game Myst on the iPhone. (AppVee)
- Documents to Go by DataViz will be released in May. (Just Another iPhone Blog)
- Working out with your iPhone is not a good idea. I recommend that you just use an iPod shuffle. (TUAW)
- Confessions of an iPhone app addict. (Mercury News, via Apple Hot News)
- Ten crazy iPhone cases. (TUAW)
Enjoy the weekend, and have a good Easter or Passover or whatever it is that you are celebrating.
The new gmail interface brought an unexpected benefit for me. A few months ago Google discontinued iGoogle access on the iPhone (and for all I know other platforms). The new interface has brought it back. Now I have all my RSS feeds back and I don’t have to use Reader (not that there’s anything wrong with Reader; it’s just my preference because I started using iGoogle when it was first released).
