Mobile+Technologies+and+Journalism

Mobile Technologies (Ipod Touch, cell phones)
 * 1) What is an Ipod Touch?
 * 2) It is a portable media player and Wi-Fi mobile platform designed and marketed by Apple Inc.
 * 3) How does an Ipod Touch work?
 * 4) The Touch has a multi-touch interface with a physical “home” button off the touch screen. The home screen has a list of buttons for the applications.
 * 5) All Ipod Touch have the applications photos, videos, and music.
 * 6) How is the Ipod Touch used to inform others?
 * 7) You can download music on the Touch
 * 8) You can use the internet on your phone—accessibility to information—cnn, facebook, etc.
 * 9) You can visit the Itunes site and subscribe to thousands to free podcasts and information—news broadcasts, people adding information (we can put our e-journalism information on ITunes and sell it!)
 * 10) Browse the web with Wi-Fi. Get rich HTML email, including attachments. Get directions and live traffic reports. Feed your YouTube addiction.
 * 11) It also finds wireless networks and connects you to the Internet.
 * 12) The apps store features games you can download to your Touch
 * 13) Journalism: the Ipod Touch can be used to read newspapers, to listen to broadcasts and podcasts, and to watch clips—You Tube, news sites (cnn).
 * 14) This makes conventional newspapers and even some television broadcasts obsolete.
 * 15) As a producer of content, people can create media, put it on ITunes, and have their experiences shared with others through this medium.
 * 16) The Ipod Touch makes journalism truly mobile! You can create with the Touch—type, take pictures and video, and record blogs. You can also post this information with the Touch—no other technology needed!
 * 17) Should we utilize the Touch for this project?
 * 18) Unfortunately, no! If the school division supplied everyone with an Ipod Touch, life would be good. However, this is very unrealistic.
 * 19) We have the ability to do the same things with our present technology, although it isn’t as cool, or as portable.
 * 20) We can use our cell phones to take pictures, videos, to use for the project!
