Newspapers, magazines and radio…oh my!

ByJohn

Thanks to Warren, who interviewed me recently for my thoughts on the upcoming iPhone App Store and what it will mean for people currently enjoying Installer on their iPhones. I think it just hit newstands today, so check out page 15 of the August issue. I guess I’m officially an iPhone expert because it’s in print!

Here’s a few pictures of it…I’ll link the full article once/if it hits the Mac|Life site:

Mac|Life August 2008

Today I was also interviewed on local radio station 95 Crave by Buzz Bishop for a piece on the data plan rate changes that Rogers announced today.

Here’s the mp3 of the interview (download link):

Buzz also interviewed me for an epic iPhone piece for 24hr magazine (a daily paper here in Vancouver) but it got edited down to half the size. He posted the full article on his site though.

My media tour continues this Friday bright and early when you might hear me on Crave while in line to get my shiny new iPhone and then later in the morning on CKNW’s Bill Good show talking about (wait for it) the iPhone and if it’s a game changer.

All in all, an exciting couple of days!

Two weeks with the iPad

ByJohn

As I mentioned previously, iCaved during the iPad launch weekend and drove down to Seattle and picked up a 32gb wifi iPad. My decision to drive across the line to get one was further justified (to me) by the fact that Apple then had to delay the international release of the iPad over a month…

iPhone Firmware 2.0 thought

ByJohn

Here’s a thought: Now that Rogers will be bringing the iPhone to Canada, I wonder what will happen when the 2.0 firmware is released (most likely July 11th)? Let’s say you have a first generation iPhone, connected to the presumably newly released version of iTunes (on July 11th) and update the firmware and you’re logged…

BarCamp Vancouver 2008

ByJohn

I spent most of yesterday on Granville Island at BarCamp 2008 and it was a blast. Things actually started off Friday night at WorkSpace for the opening night party and then up bright and early for the actual ‘unconference’ on Saturday. This year, I helped organize PhotoCamp which is one of the few pre-determined ‘tracks’…

  1. Will you be at the “buying party” and do you know where it moved to since the Apple store at Pac Centre is no longer an option?

  2. Not sure yet….my plan is to get the iPhone in the morning then head to CKNW’s studio for the radio show for 11am….if I’m still in a lineup or en route to downtown, then I’ll be ‘phoning it in’. I think Parveen is scoping out alternate locations for the ‘party’ and perhaps we’ll end up at the Apple store to buy new cases…

  3. Given that my retail sources have said they’re getting around 20 iPhones per store, there won’t be too much of a lineup, I’m pretty sure. If you’re not one of the first 20 people, game over.

  4. That’s the trick – knowing where people won’t be lining up for them. Avoiding the flagship stores is rule number one….although those stores will have more than 20 units.

  5. Well I’ve picked out my local store, here’s hoping no one else notices it. Hole-in-the-wall stores ftw.

  6. Becoming quite the celeb! Very cool.
    Me, I’m still too mad at Rogers to ever considering buying an iPhone ;)

  7. Wow, I work with a celeb! This is way cool! Soon you’ll be headhunted by Apple :)
