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.
When it comes to TV output, the Nokia N95 certainly can do this, as can Apple’s iPod 5G models, and it’s decidedly a very handy feature. With the iPhone as a touch panel and a Bluetooth keyboard hooked up to a TV set, you have practically a computer at your disposal, just as with the N95.
Watching YouTube videos through the phone and onto a TV would be pretty cool too – if only the iPhone offers this feature. It’s certainly available on the Nokia N95! The only problem is that Jobs only talks about YouTube on TV using the Apple TV.
Still… let’s keep our fingers crossed that the iPhone does indeed have a video out option, but if it doesn’t, there’s always the iPhone 2.0, whenever it arrives.
Until then, Steve Jobs has ensured that streaming video – at least through YouTube – is an option.
In the absence of a true and specific iPhone SDK from Apple for developers, with Web 2.0 apps all iPhone developers will be able to create for now, all the extra ‘real’ software and features that Apple and authorized partners will release will be eagerly awaited as users get new features to play with.
Another feature of a possible iPhone 2.0? A camera that records video – and lets you record direct to YouTube.
But enough of the future when iPhone 1.0 hasn’t even arrived yet. The iPhone will have YouTube – what other surprises does Steve Jobs still have in store for us on launch day?
