[arg_discuss] intros and channels

[Marc Williams]

Hullo

Hi, my name's Marc Williams and I work as a freelance writer and  
(advertising) copywriter in London. I signed up for this list a while  
ago on the recommendation of Patrick at Ndreams (thanks Patrick!)and  
have been reading your thoughts and discussions with great interest  
these past few months. Didn't feel I had anything to add yet, so  
waited till I did (which is now).
I recently added an iPhone to my collection and having fallen  
*totally* in love with it, so I was watching  yesterday's iPhone SDK  
conference with extreme interest (I'm a bit of an Apployte*).
As a mobile, location aware device, I was very interested to see what  
the developer kit could offer ARGs.

This is long - nearly an hour and twenty minutes - but it's got a lot  
of interesting stuff in it from a software point of view, but also as  
a whole new channel for delivering play. It makes small-dev content  
available to a skyrocketing audience, with Apple acting as the  
publisher.
This seems like a major opportunity for independent content developers  
- there's even a $100 million dev fund.

Watch the presentation:

*do we know, out of interest, what percentage of this list is made up  
of Mac users?
