We are already starting to see this with great iPhone apps, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Just wait until Google’s Android really starts getting some traction.

While video 2.0 plays are becoming more common, we at BlogTalkRadio have focused on developing an audio platform which enables bloggers/publishers to create, distribute and monetize audio content. Audio content should focus on the "conversation" and people everywhere love to talk and to listen.
