Do you have an RSS feed for your web videos or podcasts? Want to make that content accessible to iPhone and iPod Touch users?

You can either go on and create your own site that is compatible with the iPhone or just head on to VenueM, a new startup that takes your RSS feed and quickly (and on the fly) converts it into an iPhone ready website.

Yes, life is good. After Apple announced and released the iPhone / iPod Toch software update (version 2.0), I had a chance to install it on my iPod Touch (32GB) and play with it.

It’s amazing! You basically now have a ultra mini Mac on the plam of your hand. The iPhone 2.0 software install was a breeze. I ran iTunes, went to my iPod Touch home screen and clicked on the “software update” button. The rest was a simple updated.

The Firmware 2.0 for iPhone will be out on July 11th, reports MacRumor.com. 2.0 brings the ability to add applications to the iPhone (and iPod Touch) via the new Apple AppStore which will be introduced at the same time as the firmware 2.0.

TechCrunch reported today that Instinctiv, a new startup, launched today and simultaneously announced their first round of angel funding.

Please say it ain’t so! Microsoft Silverlight on an iPhone but not Adobe’s Flash?

Well, not yet (whew!!!!) Though Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said that putting t on the iPhone is certainly “interesting.”

InfoWorld reported that Apple’s iPhone SDK delivered far beyond what developers where expecting.

The main feature is the ability to use an internal API of the iPhone to write native applications for it along with offering SQL Lite built into the iPhone so that date can be stored easily in the device.

Keith Bachman, analyst with BMO Capital Markets, has cut his price target for Apple’s stock, stating that the iPods and iPhones were no longer “growth drivers” for the company. Bachman says that Apple’s 3 growth drivers, that is, the iPhone, the iPod and the iMac, has turned into one: the iMac.

iLounge is reporting that the iPhone’s and iod Touch’s SDK will be delayed anywhere between 1 and 3 weeks. Originaly, it was scheduled for the end of February. The SDK would allow third-party developers to write native applications for those devices.

I love rumors! In fact, I love them so much, I like to start some of them sometime. Ok…Not really, however, MacRumors.com is reporting that Apple is considering creating a cheaper iPhone Nano to compete with cheaper phones in the market (in the $300 range).

Not a bad idea. I did play with an iPhone and I loved it, but the price is too steep for my budget.

I can see buying a cheaper Nano iPhone if the price/functionality ratio is a good one.

Want to read more about this cool rumor? Do a Google search for iPhone Nano and you’ll get tons of articles on it or just head on to the MacRumors.com site and read their rumor:

Ok, I have to tell you, I’m pretty sick and tired of all the publicity, stories in the newspapers, web sites, radio and TV all saying the same thing, that is, drinking the Apple Kool-Aid.

“The iPhone will break new ground…”

“The iPhone is a revolution…just like the iPod”

“The perfect phone…the iPhone”

Please! Come on people…It’s a phone…Just like any other phone.

But, I’m open minded, and I do like Apple and its products. So I decided to go to the Brea Apple Store and check out what the big deal was.

After fighting with all the people that were in the front corner where the iPhone is displayed, I finally got to see it.

There it was…in all it’s glory…
