Free-to-view digital TV coming to iPhone
Elgato is developing new technologies that will allow Mac users to stream digital free-to-view channels directly to their iPhone.
Television and the iPhone are twin stories, certainly in the UK, and the technology to bring mobile TV to Apple’s global audience of iPhone users is already in place, to an extent.
Elgato currently enables users of its digital tuner systems to encode recorded shows for streaming via WiFi – but the new scheme should see more automation and suggests more efficient compression to help boost these tasks.

Research confirms Apple product strategy
A UK survey has revealed a bundle of interesting statistics concerning the so-called "iPod Generation", with the role of the TV declining in importance as we turn to the internet as the hub of our lives.
Apparently, half of the UK’s 18-24-year olds use social media to share their lives online more than they watch television, according to new research from Flip Video.
Over half (58 percent) of 18 to 24 year olds visit a social networking site every day with 42 percent of 25 to 34 year olds admitting the same frequency.
It could be that the day’s of TV dominance are declining, on news that 61 percent of 18 to 24 year olds and over half of 25 to 34 year olds spend more time online than watching TV.

Apple iPhone sales go stratospheric as strategy unfurls
Apple’s iPhone 3G sales could go stratospheric, with analysts recently raising Q3 estimates to 4.7 million or more.
Analyst Gene Munster at Piper Jaffray believes Apple’s selling 95 iPhone 3Gs in each of its 188 Apple retail stores every day, four times the sales momentum achieved by the previous model one year ago. That analyst now predicts Apple will sell "at least 4.47 million iPhones" in the current quarter.
Munster mentioned that sales momentum has slowed slightly in recent days – but Apple revealed a deal with Best Buy under which the giant chain will also lend its retail weight to iPhone sales. Will this keep them high?
