[IxDA Discuss] iPhone Ads

[Nasir Barday]

Look at everything we have in one package:

- Digital audio player
- Always-on Internet connection
- Camera
- Moderately-powered CPU with a robust(?) UI toolkit
- Touch surface

These are nice building blocks for some great innovations, no? Sure, we've
had this stuff for a while, but imagine what is possible from an IxD
standpoint if Apple succeeds in making this (a) work in harmony together (b)
ubiquitous.

Variations of the "Calamari" scenario have been playing out throughout my
trip to S.F. this week (ha, coincidental?). I wonder what cool stuff we can
come up with past the traditional "maps, phone with directory, mobile web
browser, music player." There's potential for some cool stuff here. Anyone
care to share their non-NDA'd daydreams on this? If I was a student at, say,
NYU's ITP, I'd probably be asking my advisor for a crate of these right now.
For "research," yeah ...
