iTweet?


I was chatting with a friend a couple of days ago and while I was playing with his iPhone. I was browsing through all his apps and find some of them very random and crazy. We started talking about the next app iPhone will create that may be worth getting and I thought about Twitter. Twitter is becoming so popular these days and I wouldn't be surprised to see it become an app on phones soon. So, of coarse, I googled it and found an article on it: 10 Things Apple should do with Twitter.


Sure enough, the article states that Apple should make Twitter an app on the iPhone. It states that having this app would start causing more people to mircoblog. I think this would be a cool idea especially for things that were mentioned by Mr. Epstein when he came to speak to us about Twitter. Mr. Epstein said that once Twitter becomes accessible through cell phones, people can use it for live/quick traffic updates, notifications of sales that are going on at your favorite store, and so much more.


Although this may take a while to become more organized and user-friendly, I believe that making Twitter accessible through mobile phones will cause more people to join. Right now I don't think that I like Twitter, but I know that I would reconsider using it if I could have access through my phone.

Live TV on Cell Phones


I found an article on gsmarena (a website thats about all new cell phone info) about how you can now download an app to your iphone that will allow you to watch live TV. The app, called "TV from Orange", provides users with more than 60 TV channels live in high-def quality. This app runs off of EDGE, wi-fi, and 3G networks from Orange.

This app came out in Europe on April 7th and ranges from 6 to 9 euros for TV access. You can also pay as you go which ends up being pretty cheap.

I think this app is pretty cool. It shows how technology is developing so quickly and how things can change so fast. The app is convenient for people who are on the go and like watching sports or the news. This new Orange TV application shows that media is improving/changing quickly.

The app is only accessible in Europe as of now but I'm sure it will be available in the U.S soon!
