DISQUS

you clearly don't travel in the uk ...

trains are overpriced, rarely run on time and mostly over-crowed ... give me flying at 500mph in a metal tube a few miles above the ground any day :)

FAIL! not available for iPhone .. hardly available to everyone Mr Scoble !

your review was cracking and prompted me to request an invite via boxee themselves, but if you have any more spare ?

nigelcooke at hotmail dot com !

cheers,

I agree here - two different beasts and comparing them is unfair. For me personally it's about convergance and I think the iphone is the closest thing we have to it right now. Phone, check; messaging, check; Internet, check...... It's ticking most of the boxes. Sure it has some flaws, but heck name me one device which hasn't ?
You are looking for a direct solution which at the moment the iphone can't do. Perhaps later it will. Black eyes a hoy hoy !

I'm currently half way through a Europe back packing trip. I considered the ASIs but took only my iPhone. Only thing I'm missing is a photo editor. Very impressed at the ability of the iPhone to replace my laptop for this (and potentially future) trips.

Nice

Scoble shoots his mouth off before thinking shocker .... now where have we seen that before !

not in the uk store yet !

Hardly an expert Robert - you have done it once :)

The whole queue thing I think is accepted more stateside. Try doing it over here and most places will call security and have you removed !

Also lots of the Apple stores / O2 stores over here are in shopping centres that close outside of normal hours so the closet you can get it queuing outside the mall itself - which is even crazier looking !

Oh and your point about getting "your" attention ... it sounds like Fast Company need a local employee in Israel now ....

Hey Robert - so I always raised this as an issue for your PodTech shows - very US centric, what about the cool stuff happening in other parts of the world.

I realise it's impossible to travell to these places, so you need local contacts.

Think about how the news is done today - more often than not there will be a chief reporter local in most regions.

Ah but for people who like turkey .. if I put two together I get a bigger turkey ....

mmmm turkey !

Robert,

Like podtech will you again be focused on interviews / startups and communities in the usa? Any plans to have the viewpoint from Europe / UK?

Happy New Year to you and your family Robert - it's been fun watching you over the past few years and I looked forward to hitting the refresh button on my google reader in 2008 :)

The one thing that has been missing frmo kyte has been live streaming - good to see they are working on it. I agree if they get this software embedded then they are onto a winner.

You say iPhone support ? Hang on .. the iPhone can't record video? I guess this is just for lifebloggin?

I'd be interested to hear your response if you then found out that someone sold you content without your permission for $10k - would you still be so happy for people to steal?

I've been struggling with this very aspect recently and have started to upload lesser resolution images to Flickr - but then of course you are perhaps taking something away from people legitimatly viewing the photos of flickr. I'm happy for people to take my stuff if they link back to it - but I'm sure there are some out there who simply take and never ask, then perhaps even try to sell.

Still a subject I'm not 100% sure about tho ..

on the n95 you of course hit 0 .. then grab a beer (if in london) or a coffee (if in france) ... wait around for 10 minutes (acquiring signal) then perhpas it will work.

Just don't move to fast (like in a car) or it will fail again ...

n95 gps is hopeless !

Nige

Top night robert .. sorry I couldnt hang around for the photowalking .. oh well perhpas next time ;)

Nige

as per my twitter .. we need to come up with a flickr / zooomr tag for 2nites meet ... remember it was pissedasnewts06 last time around :)

Yup, there is a bunch of flat cap wearing people out the back of the hotel wirring away on their bikes to crank up the wi-fi signal just for your visit :)

Nige

Robert,

Welcome to you and your family to (back to) London. See you tonight at the C+H :)

Nige

Ive just seen your planning on doing the photowalking @ 9pm after the dinner? Eh? I doubt I'll have my tripod with me .. oh well ... looking foward to it :)

Nige

Hey Robert - would love to grab a spot if yove got any room left :)

Nige

It still creams my machine when I try and run it ... needs to be lighter on the processor hoging !

Hope you guys had a good one ...

Robert - same on my machine with lots of skips. Head into task manager and see firefox is now using 99% cpu ... hmmm

I like the grid feature on the opening page tho ..
