The iPod is indubitably the most popular personal music player of recent times. However, that reality may be about to change soon with the meteoric rise of the iPod Touch and the iPhone. If certain industry observers are correct in their analysis, the iPod may disappear altogether with its coveted market being secured by such popular Apple products as the iPhone.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few years, you’ll probably know that the new iPhone is a small computer and mobile phone all rolled into one. Little wonder it is then that it is also set to become the most popular music playing platform in the world. Potentially able to store gigabytes of music files, the iPhone can also play music videos with great speed and clarity.
The Intertubes are also responding to this new portable music reality. iPhone Music, a blog about music production and playback apps on the iPhone is dedicated to providing news, information and analysis about the platform’s music capability. As the iPhone gradually replaces the iPod as the preminent music player of choice, the Web will probably see a lot of commotion about what is essentially a powerful new computing platform.
