The day has finally arrived and my new iPhone 3gs is in my hands. And it feels great! Everything I had expected and a whole load more. For the Social Networkers it is a dream come true, the thing I have done is load up the following Apps after setting up my email but before downloading my music from iTunes:
• Facebook
• bump
• Twitterific
• linked In
• and now WordPress
Hence this post!
The iPhone is an incredible smart phone and extremely intuitive and easy to set up, even my wife has managed to set hers up herself with surprisingly few questions. I’m very impressed and so far it’s lived up to my expectations.
That’s it for now back to playing with my new toy.
Well you have to hand it to them, I think they may have just done it again.
The revolutionary new Apple ipad has arrived, (well in the US anyway) it may have been the worst kept secret on the Internet yet but when something appears to be this great it’s no real surprise that bits got leaked. But I still managed to get the name wrong,just 4 days ago I tweeted about the prospective name of this new Apple product.
“Really looking forward to owning a islate or inetbook or what ever it ends up being called. You’ve got to love Apple. http://mashable.com – 3:07 PM Jan 24th from the web“
So it’s the ipad that certainly makes much more sense than iNetbook that’s for sure! However iNetbook describes exactly the positioning of this new Mac product. Have just finished watching the Key Note Launch of the ipad held in Paris today, presented by Steve Jobs and co. And I have to say I definitely have the same feeling I did when they show cased my Aluminium Macbook and the new iPhone 3Gs (which I’m picking up on Saturday, yes that long wait has almost killed me).
Media coverage
Well so far the only traditional media coverage I’ve been subjected to is on BBC Radio 1 “Newsbeat” “news report”, it almost seems criminal to call it a report! The managed to do their usual trick of finding the dumbest and chaviest people in London to interview and boy do they talk some sh1t.
“I wouldn’t be seen dead with one of those in South London”
For goodness sake Radio1 you really need to learn how to give a balance true reflection of the “average” person. I was not in London today so was not able to take a trip down to the Apple’s store on Oxford street in fact not even sure it’s there yet as it was only the US launch today, but I can guarantee that when it does arrive there will be a que round the block of people waiting to play with one and an even bigger que of people at the tills.
As mentioned I’m way behind things as I’m just getting my iPhone now as they have only just released it on the Vodafone network my UK network of choice so I still have not had the full pleasure of experiencing the remarkable pleasure of using the ultra slick touch screen apart from every time I come within 3 feet of a friends that I grab out their hands and start playing with. But I’m pretty sure I’ll be not too far down the que on Regents street to add the iPad to my collection of Apple gadgets.
You could say I just can’t get enough Apple’s in my diet!
Ok I’ve been online since 1999 and been designing websites for others since 2004. However despite a few half hearted attempts at a personal website/blog however you consider sites like this I have always failed miserably to produce anything of substance.
Basically life has always gotten in the way, work, sports, hobbies, learning all these things have kept me extremely busy and not being the most literate of self confessed geeks, I’ve always floundered at the first hurdle of putting pen to paper (well tapping of the keys).
Finally getting my iPhone :-)
However at last I feel my life and technology has finally come to a equilibrium as now sitting on the verge of adding the superb iPhone 3Gs to my list of gadgets (now that Vodafone have finally got the rights to sell it on their network), I now feel ready to be able to properly maintain my own personal website on the World Wide Web.
So drive in and stay tuned, I’ll be updating this site daily to detail the passions that fill up my life. At the moment these currently fall under the following banners. Tech, Green Living, Marketing & Wellbeing.
Enjoy & be inspired Richard Branson
