Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
On the eve of the release of iPhone, Apple has announced that iPhone users will be able to view originally-created YouTube content on their iPhones when they begin shipping on June 29. A new iPhone application will wirelessly stream YouTube’s content to iPhone over Wi-Fi or EDGE networks, while YouTube will provide videos encoded for mobile devices.
To achieve higher video quality and longer
battery life on mobile devices, YouTube has begun encoding their videos
in the advanced H.264 format, and iPhone will be the first mobile
device to use the H.264-encoded videos. Over 10,000 videos will be
available on June 29, and YouTube will be adding more each week until
its full catalog of videos is available in the H.264 format in the
fourth quarter.
According to Apple, the combination of H.264-encoded videos plus
iPhone’s built-in Wi-Fi networking, 3.5 inch display, and custom
YouTube application with its multi-touch user interface results in the
best YouTube experience on any mobile device.
Apple has also announced that YouTube is now live on Apple TV. Users
can download a free software update using Apple TV’s built-in software
update feature, and then navigate through YouTube’s video browsing
categories or search for specific videos. YouTube members can also
log-in to their YouTube accounts on Apple TV to view and save videos.
“iPhone delivers the best YouTube mobile experience by far,” said Steve
Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “Now users can enjoy YouTube wherever they are—on
their iPhone, on
their Mac or on a widescreen TV in their living room with Apple TV.”
In the lead up to the iPhone release, Apple is keeping the PR pressure
cooking. Just recently, the company announced without further
elaboration that battery life had improved. Prior to that, Apple
announced that developers would be able to develop applications to run
on the iPhone's Safari browser.
