I love the first day of Apple’s WWDC. This is the day where I geek out while eating lunch, refreshing Macworld as they live blog the keynote address by Steve Jobs and drooling over the latest products. A while back, I wrote about the innovate product from Square that allows you take debit & credit card payments through your iPhone. During today’s keynote, Apple announced a noteworthy iPhone app that could make musicians’ interaction with their audience a bit easier: iMovie for iPhone. Why, you ask? With the iPhone 4, you can shoot 720p HD video and, using iMovie, you can edit the video right on the phone.
So? OK, lets make this a little more real: while driving to your next show, you diligently shoot video for your band’s Youtube channel, but you keep running out of time to upload the video your computer, edit it, and publish it for your fans. So you don’t do it. Now you’ve got all this old footage that’s no longer relevant to your fans weeks later when you finally have the time.
Now imagine the same situation, but using an iPhone 4 with iMovie. You shoot the video, but you edit it right away instead of just staring out the window. By the time you arrive at the venue, you’ve shot, edited, and uploaded a new video blog entry for your fans. You could even create promo videos for that night’s show on the way to the show!
Add this to Square and you have damn good reasons to get an iPhone – just wait until June 24th when the new ones come out!
