Much has been made of Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing for iPod Greg Joswiak’s statements about why cut-and-paste isn’t included (yet) on the iPhone. The panel assumes a variety of perspectives to discuss some of the features they feel should move to the top tier of the priority list. “Frozen state” applications, improved syncing to stability, Flash support, modifications to the iPhone App Store…all these and more are discussed before the MacJury renders judgement on the one feature that is absolutely necessary for the iPhone’s success.

The panel includes:

Jeff Gamet Galen Gruman Chuck La Tournous Terry White Chuck Joiner

(Note: The MacJury panel was plagued with Skype instability during this session. We’ve done our best to eliminate the worst of the problems, but please be patient with some of the rougher sections of the recording.)

Selection, price, speed, format and “happy cash” are all placed into evidence as the MacJury finds the studios guilty of manipulating content distribution, but the jury is still out on which options will find favor with consumers of all sophistication levels.

The MacJury takes the case of on-demand content delivery options, discussing the announcements of a NetFlix set-top box, the return of the TiVo lifetime service agreement, Amazon Unbox, the Apple TV, the iTunes Store and Adobe TV. Selection, price, speed, format and "happy cash" are all placed into evidence as the MacJury finds the studios guilty of manipulating content distribution, but the jury is still out on which options will find favor with consumers of all sophistication levels.

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard may not be the best choice for graphics professionals, and the panel discusses who’s at fault, issues surrounding application upgrades, the challenges of working with Apple and more.

NBC’s latest shots across Apple’s bow, how Twitter has been adapted to work the way you want it to work and more are included in a session that yields no clear conclusions…and that’s what makes a great discussion.

The panel discusses the .Mac’s offerings and how they compare with similar services from a variety of different sources, both in performance and price. Issues such as ease of integration with the Mac OS and the requirement of .Mac for some features such as Back to My Mac are discussed, and the question of a killer app that would make .Mac irresistible are all covered.
