an atlas of the iPhone's production landscape

Mon, 17 May 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Mammoth - May. 17 (Special Report) - The iPhone, however, is not only dependent upon highly developed systems in its production, as Banham acknowledges all such objects have always been, but is also now equally dependent in its operation upon a vast array of infrastructures, data ecologies, and device networks. Even acknowledging this, though, and realizing that its operative value comes from its ability to tap those data ecologies and attendant socially-constituted bodies of knowledge, it is still possible to miss the landscapes that it produces. Until we see that the iPhone is as thoroughly entangled into a network of landscapes as any more obviously geological infrastructure (the highway, both imposing carefully limited slopes across every topography it encounters and grinding/crushing/re-laying igneous material onto those slopes) or industrial product (the car, fueled by condensed and liquefied geology), we will consistently misunderstand it.

Disney: iTunes movie sales prove potency of format, pricing

Wed, 09 May 2007 08:09:17 -0700

Ars Technica - By Eric Bangeman - May. 09 (News Analysis) - That's the piece that the other major studios that have feared when it comes to Apple's movie prices--$12.99 or $14.99 for new films and $9.99 for older content--on the iTunes Store. As a result, most of them have eschewed the iTunes Store in favor of Wal-Mart's recently launched download store. Even though Wal-Mart's digital reach falls far short of Apple's (and its movies won't play on iPods or Macs, natch), the studios were comforted by Wal-Mart's DVD-style pricing for downloads: new releases will cost up to $19.98 each with the rest of the catalog is priced somewhere between that figure and $9.99.

Going mobile

Wed, 10 Jan 2007 12:43:44 -0800

Salon - By Farhad Manjoo - Jan. 10 (News Report) - The cause of Apple's identity swap is a palm-size wonder called the iPhone. It's like no other phone you've ever seen. Mostly, it's just a flat screen. Everything you do with it is driven by software, through a remarkable pointing device -- your fingers. According to Jobs, the iPhone can do all that a phone can do, plus all that an iPod can do, and apparently very nearly all that a Mac can do, too. But first, a note of caution: I didn't get to touch it. The iPhone will go on sale in June, after FCC licensing, so it's possible that the thing won't work as well as Jobs promised. The iPhone's also got a steep starting price of $499, and that's only when you sign a two-year contract with Cingular, the only cellular provider that'll be offering it. Plus, of course, anyone who's just been to a Steve Jobs presentation feels himself faintly under the influence for a while, and maybe tomorrow, when we all come back to earth, Apple's keenest watchers will cast a cold eye on the true chances of the iPhone. At the moment, though, from afar, the thing certainly does look completely revolutionary. When Jobs says that Apple has "reinvented" the phone, you believe him.
