Increasingly, iPhones are becoming acredible, convenient and reliable tool for journalists –both amateur and professional– to use in the field. Mobile reporting was even the topic of a UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism course taught by Jeremy Rue to help journalists learn how to get the most out of reporting from a mobile device.

360 Panoramic Lens for iPhone – New Kickstarter Project
I came across this new Kickstarter project for a 360 Panoramic Lens that allows you to take 360 interactive video on your iPhone 4. A $50 pledge gets you on of the products if the project gets fully funded.
I could see making use of something like this for my Places LA videos where I try to make viewers feel as if they are actually at the location.
What could you do with a lens like this? Let me know in the comments.

I see this as the beginnings of New Media finally challenging the mainstream media for viewers. I would like to see a lot more of it. That said, it is still catering to the “mega-hits” of the new media world and doesn’t do a lot to help the smaller, more niche productions. Does “a rising tide lift all boats?” Only tim will tell.

- Netflix Has Woken Up To The Threat Of Metered Billing – Starts Taking On ISPs In The U.S. And Canada – February 23, 2011 – The same issues laid out here also directly effect individual podcasters like myself. If people’s bandwidth is metered they will simply turn off the automatic download of podcasts and other data because they won’t be able to tell how much it might end up costing them.
I have often said that the only think that could kill podcasting are bad decisions, either from the government or the ISPs. Anyone who is hoping to develop a sizable New Media audience needs to pay close attention to metered billing.
