Song of The Day: Satellite - Artist: Dave Matthews Band





Haven’t written in a while, but there’s been a lot going on! First, I hit Apple’s WWDC 2008 earlier in the month. Steve Jobs announced the future launch of the iPhone 3G, coming July 11th for $199 in 22 countries (i.e., initially and eventually 70 overall). That’s quite a price decrease, regardless of the service plan debate, and I expect the new price, features (e.g., GPS and Exchange support), and international launch to greatly spur demand.

What did I take away from the event? AppStore. On July 11th, or around that time, Apple will enable 3rd party applications to be downloaded onto all iPhones and iPod Touches, which have an up-and-coming operating system installed.

It’s an exciting time for consumers and developers.

Favorite conf-part: working with Apple engineers directly on some tasks.

Favorite fun-part: BNL at Yerba Buena Gardens.

Favorite unexpected: Hooking up with old friends and making some new.
