On Digital Media 104: Incensed
In this episode, John Federico (twitter: @gadgetboy), Craig Calder (twitter: @ccalder) and Steve Hatch (twitter: @shatch) chat about:
- Conferences: John will be attending (and speaking) at the DPA Conference and covering the MOB Conference. Craig will also be at the DPA Conference. (Shhhh. For a complimentary pass to DPA, use the code ZINIO.)
- We’re planning a LIVE and IN-PERSON episode of ODM in NYC in September. Looking for space right now. Would you join us? Can you recommend a location?
- Apple sells 600,000 iPhone 4 devices in one day, Apple.com and ATT.com brought to their proverbial knees. Steve (Hatch) is incensed by the poor customer experience. We hash it out.
- Maybe you want to cancel that iPhone 4 order? Rumors of an iPhone on Verizon in Q4 2010 pop up, yet again.
- Multitasking in iOS 4 is not a magical sparkle pony. Will make the AT&T network even worse.
- Free WiFi coming to all Starbucks U.S. locations in July. John thinks AT&T and iPhone 4 had something to do with it.
- AOL (Aol?) sells Bebo for ~$10MM - after buying it for $850MM two years ago. Steve Case weighs in. (Do you think the irony is lost on him? Then again, does he care?)
- The Skiff eReader is dead but the backend lives on in News Corp.
- Jason Hirschhorn (seen here at the TechCrunch Disrupt Conference) is out as Co-CEO of MySpace.
- “Hulu for Magazines” gets a CEO in Morgan Guenther, former TiVo Exec. Good luck with that.
- It’s all about the Streaming. Logitech Revue announced with support for Google TV. Netflix for iPhone 4 to support both 3G and the Boxee Box is delayed until Fall 2010. Rut roh, George.
- We discuss the likelihood of Boxee’s success in the face of competition from Google TV.
Our music is Democracy from Alexandr Blu.
