It’s a bit of a content distribution experiment which will run the next two weeks. If enough people like it then I’ll pay for the [...]

In this 4 min 48 sec video segment I have assembled the essential parts of the iPhone, OpenBooks and accounts production integration demonstration.

Yesterday I attended IRISWorld 2010 along with a cast of some 500 accountants.
