I recently discovered Seeqpod.com, an amazing new service that I believe might be a “killer-app” for mobile phones. In one fell swoop, this service basically trumps many of the over-the-air music download services (VCa$t?). What if someone told you that you could listen to virtually any song you wanted, when and where ever you wanted… for free (RIAA are you reading this?)… from either your mobile phone, or your Mac/PC.

Essentially the service adds a nice front end to the “old” Google P2P hack of searching for unprotected music in unprotected folders on the Internet. Basically, you just browse or search for your favorite artists or songs. Then play them Seeqpods Flash-based player.

If you happen to be one the lucky 270,000-ish early iPhone adopters, Seeqpod has created a stunning interface just for you. Point your iPhone Safari web browser at http://www.seeqpod.com/iphone and search, browse, and listen to music until your batteries run down. Unfortunately, you can’t download music to your iPhone as the device does not support downloading – yet.

Ahh, but here’s where things get interesting… If you access Seeqpod.com from your Mac or PC, the only way to play the music is via their Flash player. Effectively killing any downloading. BUT if you visit seeqpod.com/iphone from your PC or Mac based web browser the songs load as a plain ol’ MP3′s… and if you’re on a Mac AND you’ve installed Quicktime Pro (allows file saving), you can just choose to save the MP3 to your desktop. From there, just add it to iTunes and sync as normal… note that if you choose to download copyrighted files, you are effectively breaking the law.

I have a theory about the controversy around Apple’s radical re-conception of the keyboard. I made the trek down to the Santa Monica, CA Apple Store, patiently waited my turn then finally got my hands on the new iMac and it’s matching “oh so thin” keyboard.

I do the majority of my typing on a 17″ MacBook Pro keyboard and have become accustomed to it. So I approached the new keyboard with “one eye closed”. I was strangely surprised at how easy it was to type on the new “chicklet” style keys.

Now granted, I didn’t type a whole chapter on the thing, just a paragraph or two… and I was of course standing up, and not at my normal non-ergo hunched-over typing position… but the keyboard still felt great.

So, my theory is this: Apple is training us to accept flush mount keys, no I mean REALLY flush… in preparation of a “keyless” keyboard like the iPhone. I can imagine a keyboard in the future that is just a sheet of glass that illuminates based on the application that is using it…. like the iPhone. I predict the next iMac will just be two thin sheets of glass! One for the screen, and a second sheet for the keyboard.

My prediction? The new “invisible” Mac…. coming soon. Things that make you go “hmmmm”.

(note to the nay-sayers, I’m just kidding).
