iPhone video demo - 4.5 minutes 1 on 1 with Phil Schiller

Published

on January 11, 2007

CBS News scored a few minutes one on one with Apple’s Phil Schiller, in which he demonstrates the iPhone in person:

Thanks to Jason for pointing me to the video on YouTube this morning. You should definitely watch if you’re interested in the iPhone - and who isn’t
My wife has admitted that she wants one, so we’ll probably get two of them when they come out in June. She actually called it “sexy” when I showed her the photos on the Apple site, which is a big thing for her. She couldn’t care less about gadgets, but is into design big time (that’s what her degree is in). I can’t wait to show her this video, and see what she has to say.

My biggest question is this: when typing an sms, is I turn it to landscape mode, the qwerty virtual keyboard will be more “spreaded”? I like to type with my thumbs, not my index finger. Typing with the index (like Steve did in his keynote) seems very slow..

In an all day team face to face meeting with the ISN team. @billpearson just showed a really cool video. #
We’re doing an unusual (for Intel) but very cool exercise: everyone was to buy (or borrow) a book, then tell us why they chose that book. #
OH: “We shouldn’t be colliding with another galaxy. That’s just sloppy management. Who’s looking into this?” #
OH: “Pompei was destroyed by a volcano. That could NEVER happen here.” #
Today is the 3rd birthday of Intelpedia, the Intel-wide internal wiki I created. Celebrations taking place worldwide at Intel sites. #
Intelpedia has several “children”, wikis at other companies that I’ve helped people set up. It’s contagious! #
I never kept track of what companies I’ve helped with wiki stuff. Am thinking it would be nice to keep track, see how they’re progressing. #
@linuxaid is ALREADY posting the videos from Ignite Portland 4 last night. Will do a post on our site soon (I’m in an all day meeting). in reply to linuxaid #
@janetleejohnson The wiki platform I recommend and teach is MediaWiki, but it’s not always the best choice. in reply to janetleejohnson #
@davekresta The problem of easy wiki for newbies to edit is age old. Can try a WYSIWYG plugin but I say teach people through the curve. in reply to davekresta #
@krystlechung In general, I advocate teaching people to be smarter and more capable over dumbing the tools down to lowest common denominator in reply to krystlechung #
@jackbaty Ah. “Making it simple” versus “dumbing it down” is a subjective slippery slope. It depends. I’m all for making things simple. in reply to jackbaty #
@davekresta It’s a fine line. You want to make it as easy as you can to edit, but they also have to climb the learning curve. in reply to davekresta #
It was SO cool to have @rachelbancroft with me at Ignite Portland last night. I loved introducing her to my tweeps. She’s so wonderful! #
@matt_mcc Anyone at Intel can edit/contribute to Intelpedia. The info is limited to stuff that it’s OK for the whole company to see. in reply to matt_mcc #
Postulate: Building community sells more of your company’s product that traditional marketing efforts. Discuss. Data points or anecdotes? #
@krystlechung Interfaces (e.g. blog engines) can make things easy for people, but they will benefit from knowledge of the markup code. in reply to krystlechung #
@krystlechung Right. I would never tell someone “You’ll never have to learn ANY HTML. You can always just use the WYSIWYG interface.” in reply to krystlechung #
Hmm. Turns out that thinking up ideas that really “push the envelope” is really hard. #
@wajiii At the least, people should tag their photos igniteportland or ip4, so they can be found. This is the first I’ve heard of a pool. in reply to wajiii #
@wajiii I know. I was just pointing out the “official” photo tagging/sharing tips we’ve been telling people. in reply to wajiii #
RT @igniteportland The open thread for IP4 feedback is up. Go and tell us how we can improve Ignite Portland! http://tinyurl.com/6386o4 #
RT @ahockley Ignite Portland 4 photoset: http://twurl.cc/7jx #ip4 #
@Jmartens Lots of people have asked for a more technical slant to the Ignite talks. Go leave a comment here: http://tinyurl.com/6386o4 in reply to Jmartens #
@Jmartens That said, we have to go off of the idea submissions we get for Ignite, so if more people submitted more techy ideas… in reply to Jmartens #
@ahockley Stellar photography, friend. Thanks for being there, and all the hard work to make those great photos! in reply to ahockley #
@rachelbancroft Pics or it didn’t happen. in reply to rachelbancroft #
I LOVE this photo that @ahockley took of me on stage at Ignite Portland 4 last night: http://tinyurl.com/5k7era #
@sumwan I’ve been checking the App store for the Google spoken search app all day long. Will definitely share when I get my hands on it. in reply to sumwan #
@sumwan Did you know you can search Google by voice already from ANY phone? http://google.com/goog411/ An app could make it even better, tho in reply to sumwan #
So where IS that dang Google voice search iPhone app they keep talking about? Friday’s almost over! #
It seems that I’m going to be on the @strangelovelive show tonight, recapping #IP4 with @camikaos and @drnormal. Come join us! #
@aweiss LOL I’d even jump through that hoop, I want the Google app so bad. in reply to aweiss #
Hey, Portland - get out and see the moon. Full, low on the horizon to the NE. Very cool looking. #
I’m going to be on @strangelovelive in about 20 minutes, with @camikaos and @drnormal. Via Skype, sadly, due to by suburban habitat. #
@ahockley It was more of a timing issue than anything, had to get the kids home from the sitter after date night with @rachelbancroft. in reply to ahockley #
Going, uh, live on @strangelovelive in just a couple of minutes. http://tinyurl.com/5l2e5h #
@strangelovelive Was much fun. Thanks for having me! I’ll stick around for after hours. Not sure what to expect. in reply to strangelovelive #

Today’s the big day! Ignite Portland 4! Tag is #IP4, if you’re into that sort of thing. I need to get my search feeds in place to track buzz #
@jarvitron Yeah, but, besides a touchscreen (which I wouldn’t want), what other 901 add-ons are there? I don’t know of any exciting ones… #
@jarvitron I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a version of the 1000H with 3G announced. They’re the same motherboard. Shouldn’t hard to add. YMMV. #
@Britopian Why does something always have to get killed? I prefer to think in more collaborative, creative terms than militant/warfare. #
I predict that Ignite Portland is going to show up on the Twitter Trends at search.twitter.com tonight. #
@Britopian I see. I was illustrating a point, too. #
@turoczy Thanks for the awesome “tips and tricks to enjoy Ignite Portland” post (http://twurl.cc/7gn). I reposted part on the IP blog. #
Off to lunch with the ISN team, then, finish getting ready for Ignite tonight. I’m nervous about getting up on stage for “What is Ignite” #
@Brady we wish you could make it, too! Itgoing to be awesome. #
So, Ignite Portland doesn’t even start for a few hours, and we’re already killing Twitter? Awesome. #ip4 #
@rachelbancroft and I are on our way over to the east side for Ignite Portland 4! w00t! #

I, for one, welcome our new spam filter-based software overlords. #
@wesley83 The iPhone syncs and works perfectly well with Windows, too. Don’t let lack of a Mac keep you from the awesomest phone on earth #
@wesley83 iPhone web browsing is SO much better than WM. Tons of awesome apps in the app store. The overall experience is much nicer. #
@Stammy I noticed that limitation (can’t page back more than 200 in my Twitter history) a bit ago. It’s why I now archive mine on my blog. #
@wesley83 More reasons I love my iPhone: Ocarina. Google Earth. Lightsaber. iChalky. Shazam. Pandora. Urbanspoon. i.TV. Brighkite. Etc. #
@wesley83 I had WM devices for years. They’re very capable. But the iPhone blows them away. And why would one want Flash on mobile web page? #
@wesley83 Which apps do you use for productivity? (I’m not trying to badger you here. Just a friendly comparison. #
@wesley83 Honestly, the three things I use most on my iPhone are the iPhone web versions of FriendFeed, Google Reader, and Twitter. #
@robevans Since when is “can multitask” the definition of a smartphone? How does that make a difference? What’s real-world benefit? #
@wesley83 Cool. Like I said, WM is a good platform, and I’m sure you’ll be happy with your phone. #
@robevans I totally understand wanting more flexibility. I’m willing to sacrifice it for something that does what I want REALLY well. #
@robevans Yup, it’s all *nix under the covers. Jailbroken, it’s basically a little BSD box in your pocket. #
How stupid is it that the fancy new iPhone formatted Google search results (http://tinyurl.com/68m8kj) don’t work from Safari’s search box? #
The new Flip Mino HD looks REALLY nice. A 720p video cam for $229. Added it to my Wishlist in case someone wants to buy me one. #
So. Ignite Portland 4 is tomorrow night. Are you ready? I am. Oh, hey! There’s going to be a surprise announced there… #
@influxx The Flip Mino HD is only $229, not $300. Even better! #
@turoczy Indeed. Make sure to pay attention during my “What is Ignite?” talk at the beginning of the evening. #
@ahockley Sadly, the fire marshall and the owners of the Bagdad put the kibosh on the pyrotechnics…. #
@turoczy I’ll tell you. Tomorrow night. #
@greghughes If we ever do an Ignite in a pyrotechnic-friendly venue, we just might take you up on that. Thanks! #
Aaand, my Internet connection through Intel’s proxy is taking a dirt nap. Neighbors’, too. I feel slower and dumber. #
@chrisorourke The proxies are occasionally cranky and overworked, so I can’t really blame them. Sometimes, the tubes just get clogged. #
@jltitus Google Reader, Twitter, FriendFeed, and NetVibes. #
Get an Eee PC 900A netbook from Best Buy for $279: http://tinyurl.com/5o8l4l Not the cream of the crop, but a great deal. #
Now THIS is a brilliant idea: http://www.sitorsquat.com - I downloaded the free iPhone app (there’s a BlackBerry version, too, @ahockley #
@ahockley Oh, come on. Tell me you’ve never been in public and needed to find a decent public restroom. I know I have. #
Ooops. @rachelbancroft just reminded me about some DVDs I was supposed to return to the library last week. That are still in my car. #
I refuse to check my Twitterank, because it automatically tweets as me, without warning. Nice way to harvest people’s Twitter credentials. #
RT @tiesque: Idea: BankAccountRank.com - Provide me the login credentials of your bank account & I give you a meaningless # in return. #
@spinnerin LIghts just flickered out here at Intel (JF1) in Hillsboro, too, which is really unusual. Wonder what it was? #
It’s times like this (power hit in the Portland area) when I REALLY wish @Twitter hadn’t killed @pulseofpdx by disabling “with_friends”. #
@bjedwards And that totally depends on whether you believe/trust him. Anyone can write anything on the internet! #
Hello, free floating anxiety. Been a while. Remind me not to listen to NPR Planet Money podcast about the economy when you’re around. #
@stevenwalling I don’t know who’s behind @PortlandRain, but they’re brilliant. I pronounce “fake natural phenomena” the next Twitter meme. #
Ice Cream Review: Ben & Jerry’s Visialize Whirled Peace, not so gret akshully. #
I think TweetDeck can FINALLY see all of my followers, so lists aren’t uselessly incomplete anymore. I think I might be falling in love… #
Ah. @PortlandRain has a partner in crime: @PortlandSun. I get the feeling they don’t talk much. #
And now all the cool kids are telling me I need to try Tweetsville on iPhone. Will it be good enough to get me to switch from Twitteriffic? #
@ihenpecked No, it uses the iPhone’s data connection (EDGE, 3G, or wifi). Only app that uses text messages is the text msg app, AFAIK. #
@jezlyn I’ve only been using Tweetsville for a few minutes, but it’s really good. Fast. Looks and feels like Apple wrote it. Worth the $3.99 #
@jezlyn Yeah, I know what you mean. I don’t buy TOO many apps, and $3.99 is about my impulse limit, but it DOES add up fast. #
I love that Tweetsville remembers my custom “ego” search string when I quit. Nice. #
@ahockley That reminds me. I’m out of Moo cards. #
Oops. Messing around with both Tweetdeck and Tweetsville at the same time, I’ve blown my API request quota. That means goodnight! #
@lawduck My “fits in a tweet” netbook recommendation is an Eee PC 1000H or MSI Wind. But there are lots of other good ones. #
@lawduck Worried about size? Eee PC 901 or HP Mini Note 1000 is the way to go. But the HP has a slow 4200 RPM drive, and only 3 cell battery #
@jarvitron The Eee PC 1000H is Atom-based, too. Nearly identical to the 901 except it’s bigger, has a 10″ screen, and a hard drive. #

Headed downtown to present at Intel’s Software Enabling Summit in a bit. It’s Intel’s big annual software conference. #
Going to attempt to teach some software engineers why they should blog, use a feed reader, and other social tools. Wish me luck! #
At the Waterfront Marriott. My Intel SES session is in an hour. It’s windy and cold out there! - http://bkite.com/02l9v #
I should say that I’m co-presenting with @amybarton. Not trying to hog the spotlight or anything. #
Geeking out with a bunch of intel software guys (Charles, Robert, etc.), showing them Ocarina on my iPhone. Nerd alert! #
@verso Bummer. I’ll probably only be down here for my session. Short trip. #
Oh great. @rachelbancroft just taught Gabe how to wear his sister’s panties on his head like a hat. That’s gonna need therapy… #
Have you seen this Sprint “Now” widget/page? It’s pretty awesome. My new screensaver. http://tinyurl.com/6mldlx #
Now what we need (ha!) is an open, hackable version of that Now page, to add what YOU want. A framework and library of sources. Get on it! #
Gmail Video and Audio chat is SO cool. GTalk in the browser has been my only IM solution for a long time. Now I have audio and video. #
@jezlyn Yeah, I think that Sprint thing is going to get old fast. I keep coming back to Digg Arc. What other sites make good screensavers? #
@geekygirldawn I don’t know how you juggle everything. I have half that on my plate, and I’m already pulling my hair out. #
@TiEsQue I would have LOVED to come to ThrivePDX. Just wasn’t in the cards. I was actually downtown, presenting at an Intel conf., though #
jonpederson I’m jabancroft@gmail.com #
OH @rachelbancroft: “Let’s watch Biggest Loser and eat a pan of brownies.” In other news: Mmmm. Brownies. #
Just infected a bunch of people on an internal email thread with that old chestnut, the Badger Badger meme. So proud to do my part. #

Second meeting of the day already. Several more slated. This week just might kill me. But if I can survive until Saturday, I’ll be OK. #
Monday seems to be the day when we all complain on Twitter about how many meetings we have. It’s a new national pastime! #
@KarenPearson Where do you think honey comes from? #
@ahockley Have you tried fftogo.com? Great mobile interface for FriendFeed. Should work great on your BlackBerry. #
Ah, the library. Temple of knowledge, information, quiet, and free wifi. - http://bkite.com/02ks7 #
@ahockley And FriendFeed DOES have IM (new last week) and an API (see: Twhirl). If they were up right now I could give links. #
@ahockley Ah, gotcha. Context FTW. #
@camikaos Don’t worry. At the very worst, we’ll have as many people as Ignite Portland 2 (when we hit fire code, had to turn people away) #
@KarenPearson I know. But why pass up an opportunity be silly and/or scar a child for life? My kids think ladybugs say “RAWWRR!” #

There’s going to be a “mini” Ignite Portland at the Keep Portland Weird festival at the Central Library, with a few alumni talks. 2:15PM #
Come by the Ignite thing at the library if you want, but I haven’t been advertising it, because it’s a really small space. #
I had visions of flooding the library with the throngs of people who seem to materialize whenever I mention Ignite Portland. #
Guess what? @jonathancoulton and John Hodgman did not one but two shows in Portland last night. I made it to niether. I’m lame. #
I’m at the Portland Central Library, 3rd floor, if anyone’s looking for me. Ignite “Keep Portland Weird” in 1 hr. #
If you’re looking for me, I’m actually NOT wearing my trademark orange Crocs. First time in years. I know. #
I am, however sporting brightly colored Nikes and a patriotic Diesel Sweeties tshirt, so I’m still easy to spot. #
@sharong Ignite Portland 4 IS next week. This is a little alumni “mini” Ignite at the Library’s KPW festival. #
@sharong I purposely didn’t advertise this one much, for fear of overwhelming the small-ish venue. #
@samgrover Curses! I can’t make those Coulton/Hodgman shows, either. I need to pay more attention, and plan ahead for these things. #
HUGE thanks to @verso, @peat, @geekygirldawn, Phillip K., and @sarahgilbert for sharing their Ignite talks at the Keep Portland Weird fest.! #
We filled the place up pretty well, and the crowd seemed to like it. Organizers were effusive with praise. Good job, folks! #

Behind the scenes: Barack Obama’s Flickr set from election night: http://tinyurl.com/6pzfw3 Watch in slideshow mode. Amazingly candid. #
At the Central library downtown, crouched next to a microfilm machine where I found some power. Rocking Pandora on my iPhone. #
I keep hoping for some cool easter egg in the Obama ‘08 iPhone app now that he’s been elected. What’s it going to do? #
@ravenme So, when are you going to release the “has easter eggs” version? #
At the @legionoftech board meeting at Jive’s new offices downtown. Rainy. Crocs are slippery on Portland’s streets. I keep almost falling. #
Last Ignite planning meeting before the big day! #
@KarenPearson Oh, man. It sucks when kids are sick. Hope she feels better soon! #
Stressing out. Not just ignite, a ton of other stuff. If only I can make it through next week. Sugar and caffeine, don’t fail me now! #
Hey, does anyone know where I can find an OpenOffice presentation template that’s a simple black gradient bg, with white text? #
Free idea for Amazon: Now that Obama’s going to be president, give the Kindle editions of his books away for free. Won’t cost you anything. #
ZOMG the Ocarina app from Smule (the Sonic Lighter people) is AMAZING. Play the ocarina, and hear other people play on the globe. Un. Real. #
Ocarina even has a “Zelda” mode (I don’t know what that is yet :-). If you have an iPhone, GO GET IT. Best $0.99 you’ll spend today. #
I should be helping @rachelbancroft put the kids to bed but instead I’m playing Ocarina scores people have shared: http://tinyurl.com/6×5lq9 #
I’m going to get in trouble when @rachelbancroft reads that tweet about me messing around with Ocarina instead of helping her. #
@chugg Go to ocarina.smule.com, and check out the scores/music people have posted there. I had a blast playing Concerning Hobbits, etc. #
And if you’re playing with Ocarina, be SURE you check out the globe mode, where you can hear other people play. And share your playing! #
Added Obama’s Pandora station to my QuickMix. He’s got quite a few excellent songs in there. #
I swear I had a link/screenshot of that fateful tweet in 2007 that got Ignite Portland started, but I cant find it anywhere. Anyone have it? #
@chugg Obama’s playlist on Pandora: http://tinyurl.com/68b7s7 #
You have got to be kidding me. “Istanbul” by They Might Be Giants just came up in Obama’s Pandora playlist. #
@lightingdiva I love TMBG, too. I’m laughing my butt off… #
@turoczy Hey! That’s NOBODY’S business but the Turks’. I’d stay out of it if I were you. #
@SuperSpiker I haven’t tested Toodledo much yet, but I have a friend who swears by it. I still like RTM. I’d call it even. Try em both. #
Jolly Rancher’s wearing off, I’m going to bed. To recap the evening: the Ocarina iPhone app from Smule is AMAZING. And Obama’s on Pandora. #

Since Twitter survived the election, they pretty much have NO excuse for going down under load EVER again. #
@worleygirl Yeah, they were queueing, which caused some delayed tweets, which is OK in my book. But they didn’t go down. #
@billpearson OK, now I’m officially jealous that you’re at Web 2.0. Lessig is one of my heroes. #
@billpearson @tersteeg Lessig has his own presentation style, named after him: http://tinyurl.com/25nx9h #

@wreckedexotics Excellent! And you’re on Twitter, too. Cool. Welcome to the social web! #
@billpearson @tersteeg Whoa! You got the head of AT&T to say that iPhone tethering is coming soon. That’s awesome. Now they’re on the record #
Just subscribed to the change.gov blog - Obama’s transition site. Very cool to see they’re not abandoning the social web after winning. #
On the ttain headed downtown. Wanted to see if Google Earth on iPhone would track my location in real time. It does. Blew my mind. #
I shot video of Google Earth/iPhone/train trip. The tracking was uncanny. Like augmented reality, out of a scifi story. So awesome! #

@dswiese Yeah, my blog host has been having issues all week. Were you looking for a netbook recommendation, or a source of reviews? #
Just advised a loud impromptu meeting in the kitchen area that they might want to take their discussion of sensitive legal issues elsewhere. #
It was really nice to fill my gas tank this morning and only pay $30 (it was $2.39/gal, though I saw $2.10/gal at Costco this week). #

Remember the Milk releases their iPhone app. I’m looking forward to trying it. RTM lets me keep my tasks in the cloud with everything else. #
Remember the Milk blog post on the iPhone app: http://tinyurl.com/59dccg Requires a paid RTM Pro account, which I don’t know if I want yet. #
I know people love OmniFocus for tasks, but I have 2 problems with it. 1) it’s not “in the cloud”, and 2) it’s really freaking expensive. #
@mattg I don’t have that many tasks in RTM (mainly because I haven’t had a nice mobile way of using it). I’ll take your word for it. #
@SuperSpiker I haven’t looked closely at toodledo.com, but it looks interesting. Comparing to RTM now. RTM has Gmail and Gears integration. #
@AndruEdwards Yeah, but then I have to screw around with MobileMe, WebDAV, or Bonjour. RTM is a native internet app. That’s my gold standard #
@sumwan I *believe* that RTM lets you share/assign tasks, but I’m not sure. The thing I love most is how well it fits into my Google life. #

Mildly surprised that Twitter has stayed up today so far, with all the election chatter. More robust, or does Steve Jobs cause more tweets? #
