The iPhone 3.0 news was big, and it takes a big MacJury to handle it all. That’s why the largest panel yet was convened to discuss every aspect of Apple’s special iPhone announcements. Opinions on favorite and long overdue features were offered, things expected that didn’t appear (so far) were discussed and the impact of it all was examined from a variety of angles. Expect the unexpected in the analysis provided by:

The MacJury couldn’t hear the evidence on the Kindle text-to-speech issue; they had to read it, since the Kindle will no longer support that feature for many audiobooks. Is this a case of authors’ rights being protected, or DRM-style thinking on the part of the Author’s Guild? The answers, the questions and the long-term implications will surprise you. Drawing on examples in movies, music and more, an in-depth discussion of the issues is delivered by:
