“Their view of the world” segment for the DISCAST

Marc — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 18:45:54 +0000

On the DISCAST twitter feed, I recently posted about a new segment that I want to start on the show called “Their view of the world.” For those interested, here is what the segment is all about.

This will be a segment on the show were anyone can record anything that they like/don’t like about what Disney is doing. For example: you can record yourself with your views on the Fantasyland expansion, or D23, or Disney Cruise Line, etc. the list goes on and on. A few requirements, though, need to be followed:

Keep you segment clean.
Must be in .mp3 format and must be at least 2 min. long. (5 min. MAX)
Must be related to Disney.
Must be e-mailed that Thursday before a show. (Which is on Sunday.)

Other than that, do what you wish! If you have anymore questions, e-mail the show at podcast@silvys.com, DM us on twitter, or comment below this post.

Apple Starts Field Testing Next Generation iPhone

Could we see a new iPhone out on the market by the middle of next year?
Via. MacRumors

iPhone developer Pandav has informed MacRumors that they have spotted usage records for an unreleased iPhone in their app’s analytics. The app used was iBART, a public transportation guide for the San Francisco train system.

PinchMedia who provides the analytics for the application breaks down customer usage including what specific devices are being used. This list of devices is reported to developers using internal device identification numbers assigned by Apple. In this case, “iPhone3,1″ was first spotted in Pandav’s usage logs in November. This “iPhone3,1″ identifier does not match up with any shipping iPhones. The last iPhone released to the public was the iPhone 3GS which carries the identification string “iPhone2,1″.

References to “iPhone3,1″ was first discovered in the iPhone firmware files back in August, but this seems to be the first time that it has been spotted “in the wild”. Apple similarly began testing the iPhone 3GS (iPhone2,1) back in October of 2008 about 8 months ahead of its launch.

There have been few details about what the next generation iPhone might include, though early rumors had pegged a multi-core processor that could enhance performance significantly.

So what do you think? Is their going to be a new iPhone soon? Do you have an iPhone, what are your thoughts on it?

(Just as a side note. I wrote this whole post from my iPhone 3GS.)
