Looks as if moonshiner Popcorn Sutton is having more problems with the authorities. Also interesting is that Popcorn’s daughter is squaring off with some of his admirers in the comments section of an earlier post I did on Popcorn.
I was pretty geeked to see that Apple intends to create a much more seamless integration between the iPhone and Microsoft’s Outlook. That’s the one thing that has stopped me from trying an iPhone. I’m a total Outlook junky. It rules my life, and the Blackberry works it better than any other mobile device I’m aware of.
But buried in the news was something even cooler. Apple announced a partnership with the VC firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, which is creating the iFund, a $100m vehicle that will focus on iPhone software startups. What a great idea. This giant carrot is now dangling out there, encouraging developers to create the next great iPhone app. Brilliant.
How long till I can trade-in my Blackberry?
For what it’s worth, here’s a link to an interview I did at the NAA show in Orlando. While I do try to explain Maroon Ventures on some level, even I had a tough time listening to it all the way through … And there are links to Jay Small, Bob Kellagher and Howard Owens‘ interviews, too. Those are definitely worthwhile.
