John Johnston streamed some video and did a couple of curbside interviews while on his way to work this morning outside the new Apple store in Sydney.

John recorded it on his N95 and the quality is pretty good considering. The video gives a much better look at the store then simple still images provide.

I still can’t figure why all these people are lining up though. The store is huge and should have more then enough room to fit everyone in. Some of them would have been there for well over 24 hours by the time the store opens at 5PM this afternoon.

Anyway, take a look at John’s video below.

Wireless Social Networks Are Going To Be Huge

Mobile Social Network

Wireless social networks are going to be the next big thing. Nothing too surprising with that claim. What is surprising however, is the amount of revenue it will generate.

iSuppli has forecast that by 2020 wireless social networks will generate $2.5 trillion in combined revenue from products, services, applications, coponents and advertising.

“Over the next 10 years, as mobile devices like smartphones become the primary channel for viewing content or accessing the Internet, social networking will move largely into the wireless realm, providing the type of ubiquitous connection that consumers are demanding,” Derek Lidow, president and CEO at iSuppli, said in an announcement Wednesday. “This event will accompany the creation of a new generation of applications that will greatly expand the appeal and utility of social networking, and will finally generate profits for the social networking industry.”

“New intuitive applications enabled by innovative technologies introduced in the timeframe from 2009 to 2015 will spur the adoption of social networking and lead to major revenue growth in this area,” he said. iSuppli analyzed social networking and found three levels of interaction for users: immediate family and close friends, extended friends, and shared interest groups. Users interact sporadically — but intensely — with extended friends through games, avatars, and general updates and information. Users with common interests communicate in ways that extend into business. The popularity of social networking in business — for trading, online collaboration, and virtual meetings — is likely to spur advancement of mobile devices equipped for content viewing and sharing, iSuppli said. Wireless devices are likely to become the primary means of communicating, accessing content, and using applications by 2018, and that will change the semiconductor and display industries globally, iSuppli predicts.

I think this is pretty much a given, you only have to look at the iPhone to see the interest and as more applications become built for it, new opportunities will open up and new ways of interacting will become the norm. After all, who wants to lug around an notebook computer, or wait until they get home to connect with their friends.

Just wait another 12 months and see what will be available.

Telstra Demonstrates Holographic Conferencing

Telstra Hologram

Telstra demonstrated some exciting technology in Adelaide, Australia today.

Telstra chief technology officer, Dr Hugh Bradlow projected a life-sized, real-time, high definition image of himself onto a transparent screen as he walked, talked and interacted with the audience in Adelaide while he stood in front of cameras in Telstra’s Melbourne office.

This is not the first demonstration of the technology, developed by British company Musion Eyeliner, it was used by Al Gore on the Live Earth concert in London and at the 2005 MTV Awards.

Telstra enterprise and government group managing director David Thodey says the technology can be used for global conferencing, saving time, money and reducing emissions.

The high definition holographic video projection system took about half a day to set up for the presentation and used Telstra’s Next IP network for the transmission.

I remember being impressed with this, when my friend (who is the manager for a lot of the conferencing technology for in Australia) told me about the installations he had done in Telstra’s boardroom.

It would certainly take watching the footy to a new level. [Source]
