It’s here coming in June! The iPhone is potentially a big issue for GS Interactive. Web sites and web applications (Dashboard widgets) delivered via iPhone may be commonplace in 5 years or less (how many of our clients have podcasts today? how many are thinking about it?)
Kottke did a cardboard cutout mock up (GEEK!) of the iPhone to get a feel of its size in comparison to other phones/remotes/Wii controllers.

The iPhone is bound to become an icon just as the iPod did. It’s in the NYT and web comics (Sheldon and PvP) already. The announcement at Macworld got over *18000* Digg’s.

There’s no article. It’s just a truth I’ve found out on my own.

Anyone think Steve Jobs will introduce a cell phone during his keynote at the Macworld Expo in Jan? (January 8-12, 2007 in San Francisco) And if so, what do you think he will call it, since Cisco already owns the trademark to iPhone? iMobile… iTalk… iCell… I’d like to see him get a call during his talk and answer it with his new Apple phone.

I’ve read lots of rumours and predictions about what will debut from a widescreen video iPod to iTV….

What do you think?

Four seconds is the maximum length of time an average online shopper will wait for a Web page to load before potentially abandoning a retail site, according to a new report by Akamai Technologies that examines consumers’ reactions to a poor online shopping experience. The report, commissioned through JuniperResearch, ranked poor site performance as second only to high product prices and shipping costs as leading factors causing dissatisfaction among online shippers. Based on a feedback from 1,058 online shippers, site loyalty is contingent upon quick page loading, especially for high-spending shoppers and those with more online experience. More than one-third of the respondents said they would abandon a site entirely due to a poor experience, while 75% were likely not to shop on that site again.
