With its improved video and still photo capabilities, an excellent selection of writing applications and generous amount of screen real estate, the iPhone 4 is a device that gives journalists all of the tools they need to develop and push out a story from the field in a timely manner. That's exactly why The New York Times has furnished their whole stable of writers with one of the handsets.
According to MacStories, journalists scribbling for The Grey Lady have all been presented with iPhone 4 handsets and access to Aspera's zippy file upload software. With the amount of video that The New York Times' website delivers on a regular basis, providing reporters in the field with an Apple smartphone is a no-brainer, as it does the work of a number of more expensive devices for a comparatively low price. No doubt in the days to come, we'll see more news services following suit.
