You will remember that when I wrote about my recent meeting with Miglia I mentioned that they had shown me some stuff that was pretty exciting but not yet available?

Well let me give you a exclusive ‘heads up’ of the Diva 225 ………..

I have spoken with Miglia this morning and there isn’t much to report at this stage. Apple have just requested more cards be sent for testing etc and four have been shipped.

As soon as I know more I will provide an update.

So yesterday saw the iPhone SDK keynote from Apple. With the minor, but understandable and expected delay until June, initial views have all been positive, with developers giving it a pretty solid thumbs up, so the real question seems to be

What applications do you want to see for the iPhone?

I have just spent a couple of days with Miglia discussing a number of things not least the current frustration with the AlchemyDVR. They also explained some background issues and plans for the future, much of which has to remain within the terms of the Non Disclosure Agreement, but all of which sounded great.

I like to keep up with all things musical, whether the latest releases on the iTunes store or independent releases. Yesterday there was an announcement from Trent Reznor, the frontman of Industrial band Nine Inch Nails (the musician who wrote ‘Hurt’ famously covered by Johnny Cash).

Reznor announced a full 4 part concept record to be released on his website for download for $5, alternatively there is a free 9 track version and many physical versions (all of which sounds like rather nice deal for a fan). I feel this is a more important step towards a sensible distribution system, direct sales from an artist, which wouldn’t be possible if Reznor was attached for a record label contract.
