DJ Jesse Jarnow polled a bunch of “hardcore music nerds” to get their feature wish-list for a music-centric phone for Wired; here’s what I suggested:
BoingBoing co-founder and speculative fiction novelist Cory Doctorow (who penned his own pro-headphone-jack screed) suggests building “a phone that can break the DRM on all streaming audio, creating loops that the user can integrate into her own compositions, auto-uploaded to asset repositories on bulletproof hosting servers run by companies that hand-check any DMCA takedowns to see whether they’re compatible with fair use and have a legal slush fund to fight spurious takedowns.”
