MacCentral provides a slightly more detailed report of the discussion session held with Steve Jobs and Phil Schiller at Apple Expo Paris.
Highlights include:
- iTunes software for the Motorola phone was a learning experience. "We see it as something we can learn from." - Jobs discussed video on handheld devices - such as a Video iPod. He admits that you can download videos from iTunes as well as Video Podcasts, but is uncertain if people will buy a dedicated video playback device. "So far they haven't. No one has been successful with that yet." - Jobs still insists that the convergence between TV and Computers is not going to happen. - Regarding new features (such as radio), "We are very careful about what features we add because we can't take them away." - Feels that Bluetooth isn't a good option. Sound isn't good. Recharging headphones is a pain.
