Greetings Family,(Contact Information At Bottom Of Page)It's your friendly neighborhood "Digital Drummer" again (smile)Apple and Steve Jobs just took a big step to becoming the new standard for Rich Media (music/video/games/pictures) mobile applications. They've opened up the doors to you...independent "Content" developers. As I've been writing for years, Content is king. Why do you watch TV? Because of what's on it...Content! Why would you buy an iPhone...Because Of What's On It!That being said, iPhone has become the hottest tech gadget since the invention of the desktop computer, capturing 28% of the US market. Making it number 2 behind RIM's Blackberry. Well Jobs wants to change that and has just unveiled a developer program that includes all three components of tech entrepreneurial success; money, software, and hardware.1) Money: Silicon Valley venture capital firm announces a $100 million iFund to foster the new iPhone developer platform and encourage independent developers and entrepreneurs to build new programs for the iPhone. (see http://www.kpcb.com/initiatives/ifund/index.html)2) Software: Apple unveils an impressive suite of iPhone developer tools built around their default web browser Safari. Job's claims that a working knowledge of modern web standards is all that's needed to code up custom iPhone goodies. (see http://developer.apple.com/internet/safari)3) Hardware: The Apple iPhone, introduced less than a year ago, already holds almost of a third of the smart phone market share. It's 3.5-inch widescreen color display is the ultimate way to watch Rich Media (music/video/games/pictures) or access Net-based applications on a pocketable device. (see http://www.store.apple.com/iphone)***************(Advertisement)*********************TraVerus Travel - Become a part of the most unique family in MLMTo learn more about free travel visit their websitewww.traverusfaststart.com/yes.htmlOr contact Candy at 702-354-0519to find out about income opportunities******************************************************Now if all that wasn't good enough, here is the clincher... Starting in June, iPhone will market your content through iTunes and the iPhone itself. Yes you heard me right. Starting this summer, Apple will start advertising all the new movies, games, music, business applications, and other functions that only an iPhone can do.In this new e-commerce solution, Rich Media will be marketed, sold, paid for, and downloaded entirely though a single mobile device....the iPhone. Developers will get to choose the price for their applications and content, with the split being 70/30 of the purchase price. Apple gets 30% and you get 70. It don't get better then that!The Apple iPhone is predicted to sell 10 million units this year, and is looking at (with the advent of this new developers program) capturing one percent of global mobile-phone market. Totaling about 1 billion devices this year, according to Jobs. Do you want access to this growing market? Now's your chance.As always I'm advising all Black independent film makers, game developers, music producers, authors, models, and dot.com wanna-be's to jump on this opportunity. I'm not going to go into how Black are the biggest consumers, multimedia users, content creators and market in the country...if you need data or convincing on any of that, just review my past stories on technology at http://www.blackwebportal.com/wire/AuthorContent.cfm?PartnerID=57I'm just going to end by saying...we as the creators of American Pop culture need to start reaping the full fruits of our labors and stop accepting the crumbs off the table.

Greetings Family,(Contact Information At Bottom Of Page)It's your friendly neighborhood "Digital Drummer" again (smile)Believe it or not, with all that's going in Africa (wars, famine, disease) there is good news on the entrepreneurial front. In an internationally recognized business report, it has been announced that Africa is the world's fastest growing mobile market (see http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c84447).Every country on the continent of Africa now has at least one mobile network in operation. In 2001, Africa became the first continent as a whole where mobile phones outnumbered fixed telephone lines. The fact that 14 African countries have achieved triple-digit compound annual growth rates for the past five years shows that this growth is not just short-lived.Penetration is highest in Southern Africa at 80%, thanks to South Africa’s highly developed market. West Africa, which grew by an incredible 75% over the past year, is catching up fast, while North, Central and East Africa all have a long way to go, with the latter two markets having penetration rates of just 20%. Political and economic development in West Africa is expected to help spur growth.Officials of the World Bank said in interviews at the UN's World Summit on the Information Society that investments in telecommunications companies in Africa, were reaping annual rates of return in excess of 25 percent. The returns are even higher — about 40 percent to 50 percent — when license fees, taxes and other charges are excluded, said Mohsen Khalil, the World Bank's director of global information and communication technologies.The International Finance Corporation, an arm of the World Bank and the largest source of private equity for developing countries, has invested in African telecommunications, along with institutional and private investors. The local success of these companies and their expansion into other countries could have major economic and political implications.***************(Advertisement)*********************TraVerus Travel - Become a part of the most unique family in MLMTo learn more about free travel visit their websitewww.traverusfaststart.com/yes.htmlOr contact Candy at 702-354-0519to find out about income opportunities******************************************************Telecom companies in Africa have always been dominated by large international operators. Since the crash of the industry worldwide in the late 1990's, many powerful Western carriers have withdrawn from developing countries to concentrate on their home markets. Local companies in Africa are now filling that gap and growing to such a level that they can expand abroad. Effectively reversing of the transfer of goods and services from north to south, according to Mohsen Khalil.Africa is experiencing similar growth rates in Second Generation (2G) mobile systems that much of the rest of the world saw during the nineties. This growth is predicted to continue for some time to come. Most African markets are far from reaching saturation points. Unlike the rest of the world, Africa will not experience the painful dip between 2G and 3G deployments that the rest of the world saw in recent years.To the contrary, the first 3G systems were launched in Africa as early as 2004, not too far behind their European and American counterparts. And unlike the rest of the world, Africa has the killer application for 3G - Internet Access. Fixed phone line Internet infrastructures are poor and owning a personal computer is out of reach for most Africans. But more and more Africans do own a mobile phone and will embrace the opportunity to access the Internet with 3G phones once prices for the phones come down as well. Several mobile operators have already positioned themselves as ISPs.As the originators of American and World pop culture, Black programmers and developers should be looking at the African mobile market the way Black Jazz musicians looked at Europe in 50's - The Land Of Opportunity And Wealth. We must begin to reach out to our African brothers and build bridges of entrepreneurialship that will allow us to side-step the mega corporations and sell our goods and services direct to the mobile net-based African marketplace***************(Advertisement)*********************Looking For More Exposure, Want To Help A Good Cause, Need Money???Come on over to www.freshfaces2u.com and register to win $10,000 dollars CASH!At Fresh Faces2u it's NOT about how you look...But Who You Are!Join us in our mission to change the image of women in the mediaSign Up Today At Fresh Faces2u.com******************************************************This Online Journal was brought to you by InterServe Networks.

We want you to help us build up our ongoing campaign of "Black Business Awareness". We know that having strong and viable Black owned and operated businesses, in the long run will help stem the tide of negative and adverse conditions within Black communty sectors.Our aim is to ignite and then uplift, empower and inspire the "entrepreneurial spirit" among Black peoples everywhere.The Black Business Builders Training system is a very simple, yet effective way to learn and enforce co-operative economics, networking and collective financial advancement. The main thing, is for each of us to do our part to make the project work. Each of us have to enroll just a few people each and help them do the same. We have to get a "rhythm" or momentum going. That's shouldn't be difficult. Afterall, we are a rhythmic people and when we are in rhythm we can do anything we choose.However, have you ever seen a choir singing at church and everyone is clapping on the beat except one or two in the front row? Get that picture in your mind. (I hope you're not one of them) Those two, are at the least a distraction. And they could possibly throw the whole choir off beat.Have you ever been to a Black social function and the DJ starts an "Electric Slide"? And as people start to gather out on the dance floor, you'll see one or two people who are not in step ... off the beat ... don't know any of the moves and just are out there "doing their thing" and bumping others around ... getting everyone near them out of step. Well, its the same thing in businesses or in network marketing as you build your organization.If you are off, you're going to get everyone around you off. If you don't know the steps, you're going to cause confusion. You're going to slow momentum and cause folk on the dance floor sideline to decide not to join the crowd. If you're not adding value, you're the problem. And for so many of us, this has been the case. Our intentions are good, but we don't know the "steps" or the "beat" and are not in rhythm. And worst of all, won't take the time to get it straight. We'd rather "fake it until we make it". I see so many entrepreneurs with great potential who squander it by not getting the basics down.When we created "Black Business Builders" we wanted to keep it as simple as possible, because we knew that some people would jump in and not get the basics. Not take the time to read the website. Not take time to understand fully the power of a 2-Up compensation and how it could potentially outdo any current business they are working. Our objective with this training, is to help those that need to get it straight, to do so and not fumble around and throw everyone else off course. Adding "your own flavor" is fine. Just like in the "Electric Slide", you can add your own interpretation. But you've got to know the basics before you just improvise.Black people can rely too much on our ability to improvise. In certain instances, you can't do that. They say that "luck" is where "opportunity" and "preparedness" meet. The better your "luck" the more money you will make.So if you want to make $5,000, $10,000, $20,000 a month or more with a program that only cost you $14 bucks. Then start clapping on the two and four. Get prepared and in place for our "MARCH FORTH" kick-off. Start now by studying your back office, Tool Kit and Training materials. Do what is required and get your first two or three people enrolled and trained properly. Be prepared. Because, if you can't do it with a $14 program, you won't be able to do it in your primary business at all.Black Business Builders can put your whole financial house in order. Take the time to learn the basics. Reach out to those in your back office who haven't paid and influence them to get started now. Let's get this dance started right. We're small now but as this thing grows we've all got to be in sync. The rhythm and pace we set could build the biggest and most powerful Black business organization in the world.In Service,Stan Blackmanhttp://www.BlackBusinessBuilders.com/bbb.htm?68Meet me at BlackBusinessSpacehttp://www.BlackBusinessSpace.comRead more…
