Much more than just a phone!

“With Apple’s new iOS 4 it is now possible for any developer to create MIDI-enabled applications that work with MIDI Mobilizer,” remarks Marcus Ryle, SVP of New Business Development at Line 6.  “As an open invitation to developers, we are now providing the SDK at no charge, and are not charging any license fee or royalty.”

The free SDK (Software Development Kit) can be requested from Line 6 via MMdeveloper@line6.com.

MIDI Mobilizer is a low-profile hardware device that fits into the standard 30-pin connector of an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad.  It can connect these Apple products to millions of pieces of classic and modern MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) gear, such as synthesizers, digital pianos, effects processors, and virtually any device with standard MIDI 5-pin DIN connectors, including Line 6 guitar amps and POD® products.  Thanks to the free MIDI Mobilizer SDK, future applications can be developed that will allow virtually any MIDI function commonly performed by a computer to be held in the palm of your hand.

This guy TheMartyMartin is amazing.. with or without an iPhone4.

But can you imagine what a filmmaker like him must feel with a phone that can do THIS in his pocket?

Is the iPhone 4 capable of shooting high quality video?

Yes.

Computer World offers an article that sums up the way this tiny little video phone is going to change the industry. COURSE THE MISSING ICON WILL BE VIDEO CHAT and that’s gonna be another world-changing aspect of this little guy (at least that’s my hope!)

The article asks “Does iPhone uses Multi-touch Technology?”

Survey says?!

Yes. The Iphone uses a touch screen that lets you perform two-finger gesture, for instance, you pinch your thumb and forefinger to shrink a photo, or widen them to enlarge it, as pioneered by multi touch screen pioneer Jeff Han.

But does that mean it uses Jeff Han’s brand? See the article for details!

Also Mac Rumors has covered Jeff’s thoughts on the sitch!

Don’t know how long this will last, but I certainly understand the fervor! There still seem to be things “red tape-ish” that could hold up distribution of the phone – including the FCC and AT&T/Cingular. So let’s keep hoping that our “ultimate convergence device” isn’t crippled by corporate people who tighten their ties too tight in the morning, shall we?

This short demo by Phil Schiller with CBS News’ John Blackstone is a concise display of this phone’s supreme beauty and power. My Macbook Pro running OS X.4.8 makes me a feel satisfied at least once a day… I think this phone is gonna top at least 2 times a day satisfaction rate.
