Derek Powazek’s iPhone 2.0 Wishlist 

Pretty good list, I say.

Interview With Michael Gillette 

James Bond fan site MI6 interview with Michael Gillette, the illustrator behind the aforelinked new covers for Ian Fleming’s Bond novels. (Thanks to James Gowan.)

Zune Sales 

2 millions Zunes sold to date since they went on sale in November 2006. But it looks like they’re taking sales from Creative, not Apple or second-place SanDisk.

TapeDeck 1.0 

New $25 audio recording app, a joint production of SuperMegaUltraGroovy and Toastycode. The gimmick is that it’s modeled after an ’80s era cassette deck. It uses a library for recording management — no interaction with the file system necessary — but you can easily send clips to iTunes or email. Worth a download just to watch the tape spin while you record.

World Map of iPhone Availabilty 

Lots more red added this week.

Covering Bond 

Coming soon from Penguin: Exquisite new editions of Ian Fleming’s James Bond novels. Perfect.
