I should mention I’m biased pro-Apple, FWIW. But regardless of your personal tech iPhone-vs-Blackberry prefs, the iPhone will IMO just further spur the integration and adoption of watching video in a portable way– sure, mobile video existed before the iPhone, but the Apple’s market pressure and pre-existing success with, and ties to, the film industry through their iTunes movie downloads, as well as their well known ability to make user experiences easy (e.g., iPod) is the 800lb gorilla. Personally, I wonder just what the next opportunity will be for us as performers and producers?
