OK, this year’s Macworld ain’t gonna have the hype of the last two years, lets face it! And with Jobs not even there to stoke the hype, it threatens to be a bit ho hum – at least for iPhones.
But there are two “major” new iPhone products worth mentioning here. Firstly:
Tooble for iPhone
Here is new software that enables users to put any YouTube video onto their iPhone, automatically!
Based on the success of the Tooble for Mac, this new application of Tooble for iPhone is likely to also be a big hit. And the story behind Tooble is another one of those “young geeks make it big” stories. After all we Mac lovers do love products based on great designs or great ideas!
Check out these stats that Tooble.tv give, just 60 days after the 2008 Macworld release of Tooble for Mac:
Only sixty days after tooble’s debut, we’ve hit our hundred thousandth download! As you may guess this exceeds anything any of us expected, but we’re proud to announce tooble’s success and we’d like to thank all of the users who supported us, gave tooble a try, or came out to see us at MacWorld; you guys are great and we’re going to make some great software for you.
Secondly, the DayliteTouch will be on display at Macworld.
It won’t unfortunately get launched at MacWorld, and the launch is still listed as “early 2009” with the rider bt the Daylite Touch team that:
We will be able to give you a more meaningful date range after Macworld.
But this is looking to be a significant new iPhone product for business users and definitely worth a mention. It uses Daylite’s new synchronization technology to keep all aspects of a business (and its data) accessible “anywhere and everywhere”. The objective being to:
keep your critical business data always synced anywhere you go.
Other “new” listings:
Note that both mDialog (a video platform that enables users to upload and deliver high res video to iPhones) and fone2phone (a utility that will copy all your data from an ordinary cell phone to an iPhone) are also listed as new iPhone products. BUT they have, in fact, been around for some time and so not really worthy of being listed as a “major new” iPhone product – despite their being billed that way on Macworld 2009 site.
