iPhone - First Reviews

Yes, Lots out there, all pretty much saying the same thing - it lives up to the hype but it's not perfect. What a fantastic response to a 1st generation product. One quote did tickle me though and that was from Steven Levy from MSNBC:

“Everyone we talk to hates their phones—it’s universal,” Steve Jobs told me on a call to my iPhone a couple of days ago. (The control-freaky Apple CEO was just checking up to see how I was doing.)

Original Article

It just shows the level of personal involvement and commitment that Steve Jobs has with the iPhone. How many other CEOs of billion dollar corporations would call up a journalist to check up on their experience with a new product!

ScreenCastsOnline Media Blitz!

tmup OK, So not quite!

We have a saying over here in the UK about waiting ages for a bus and then three come along at the same time. Well, this seems to have happened with some podcast appearances I'll be making over the course of the next week or so.

The first out of the gate is a live interview I did with Victor over at the Typical Mac User Podcast using Talkshow (as mentioned in this weeks show). The interview was a blast and it was really good to chat to some of the TMUP listeners, many of whom were also ScreenCastsOnline viewers. You may hear some voices you recognise!

If you weren't able to make the live podcast (props to Christian Meerman (and other UK and european listeners) who stayed up until 2am to participate in the chat) you can still stream or download the podcast as follows:

iTunes Subscription to TMUP - Recommended! Direct MP3 Download

Stream from the Website

I hope you enjoy it and thanks to Victor for inviting me and also to the rest of the TMPU community for making me feel so welcome!

I'll post the details of the other two podcasts I'll be popping up on this week, once they are released.

iPhones Secret Feature?

PicturesqueIs it just me or is anyone else a little surprised that Apple still haven't shown off the camera (and supporting application) within the iPhone. Nothing at the January MacWorld Keynote, nothing at the WWDC keynote and nothing in the new introductory video. Hmm... Could this just be a one more thing? Video anybody? Direct upload to YouTube from iPhone? Won't be long until we find out!
