My Free iPhone / iPod Touch

Big Day!

admin — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 14:22:59 +0000

Today is the big day. I am counting down the minutes until the WWDC Keynote. I plan on following it at a number of places. Here are some places that you can follow the keynote:

Gizmodo: Apple WWDC Liveblog Coverage

Engadget: Steve Jobs keynote live from WWDC 2008

MacNN: Live from Apple’s WWDC in San Francisco

The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW): WWDC coverage schedule for today

I can’t wait to see what happens.

WWDC Keynote - Next Monday

admin — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 16:51:26 +0000

Just a quick note to let you know that we are still here and looking forward to the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) . There are so many rumors flying around right now. Some of the rumors are insane (and not iPhone related). I won’t even attempt to speculate.

If anything cool iPhone (or iPod Touch) comes out on Monday, I will let you know. Any new or different products may change the requirements for the free iPhone (and iPod Touch).

iPhone = Unavailable

admin — Thu, 22 May 2008 13:43:17 +0000

You may have heard already that everywhere you look, the iPhone is unavailable. It’s not available on the Apple Store, or in Apple Retail Stores. It’s also not available at other retail outlets. AT&T did have refurbished iPhones the other day, but I am not sure if they still have them or not.

This may be one of two things. One idea is that the second generation iPhone will be coming out on June 9th (at WWDC). The other option is that this is a huge stunt from Apple to make everyone believe that something new is coming out. I hope it’s the former.

If a new one comes out, I will probably start drooling all over it and want to get a new free iPhone.

3G iPhone Launch Date?

admin — Tue, 20 May 2008 18:02:10 +0000

Gizmodo is reporting (iPhone 3G Launch Date Confirmed) that the 3G iPhone will launch June 9th at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). They go on to say that the second generation iPhone will be available worldwide shortly after the announcement. Many have speculated that the second generation iPhone (with 3G) would be announced on June 9th, but many had thought that it wouldn’t be available until the end of the year.

Will the 3G iPhone be announced and available on June 9th? We can only wait to see. I know that I will be following the live feeds of the WWDC Keynote (with Steve Jobs). I will post more as I find out.

I am counting down the days until WWDC, are you?

Native Google Applications?

admin — Fri, 16 May 2008 13:57:16 +0000

According to iPodNN (Google aims to have native iPhone apps at launch), Google is planning on releasing native application on the iPhone when the 2.0 firmware is released this summer. There is no word on what these applications may be.

This is exciting that Google is behind the iPhone SDK. Google has always created some great application, I can’t wait to see what they come up with on the iPhone.

A New iPhone Podcast - iPhone Alley

admin — Thu, 15 May 2008 18:47:55 +0000

I recently started listening to a new podcast called iPhone Alley. The site has been around for a while, but the iPhone Alley Podcast is new. They currently have 3 (full) episodes. I have a feeling that this podcast will really take off.

Give it a listen and decide for yourself.

RSS Feed for New iPhone/iPod Touch Web Apps

admin — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 12:53:57 +0000

Are you looking for new iPhone and iPod Touch Web Apps?

Apple has been nice enough to add an RSS feed to the iPhone/iPod Touch Web Apps directory. We had previously reported on the Web App directory (Apple Publishes iPhone/iPod Touch Web App Directory) , but failed to mention the RSS feed. By subscribing to the RSS feed, you can stay on top of any new apps that are published to the Web Apps directory.

Been Away

admin — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 12:09:20 +0000

Sorry all. I’ve been absent a bit lately. I missed the Apple iPhone SDK. I won’t rehash on the details since it’s already been reported on by others. I am a little disappointed that the SDK (or apps) isn’t currently available. I am really looking forward to some of the applications that were shown.

Anyway, I am back now and ready to get back to posting. I already have a few good posts lined up.

Google Search Sees Huge Surge from iPhone Users

admin — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 19:19:44 +0000

iPodNN has reported (Google: iPhone searches dwarf rivals) that Google has seen a huge surge in mobile searches from iPhone users. Google must be raking in the cash from their search advertising.

iPhone users are much more likely to use Google to search for items while they are out and about. It may mean that Google is so well integrated into the iPhone that using another search engine is a hassle.

I think that Google and the iPhone/iPod Touch make the perfect combination for searching the web (when out of the house).

Possible iPod Touch / iPhone Price Cuts?

admin — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 12:43:09 +0000

iPodNN is reporting (iPhone, iPod touch price cuts coming by April?) that that iPhone and iPod Touch could get a $100 price cut as soon as April. This would mean that the retail price for the 32 GB iPod Touch would be $399 instead of $499. The iPhone would also be reduced to $399.

They are also speculating that the price cut could happen much sooner to coincide with the release of the iPhone SDK.

This news doesn’t mean much if you are going to get a free iPhone or iPod Touch, but it does mean that you will need (probably 2) fewer friends sign up with you.
