Exciting iPhone Project In The Works

Well, it happened… The iPhone is just too compelling of a development platform. A good friend and I are building a top-secret project for Apple’s killer internet device. We’ve got early stages of the application completed and look forward to making a formal announcement soon.

Our teaser site is up at http://www.gonzoconsortium.com/ – it’s pretty much vapor at this point.

Death of an iPhone

On Friday my iPhone, cold and lonely, ran out of charge and never came back to life. Multiple chargers, multiple cables, much troubleshooting, and all I got was a brick. Black screen, no signs of life, total asystole. It’s a mighty fine thing that I was snowboarding the whole weekend, making it a little nice, actually, that I was out of touch. (Until I needed to look things up on the way home!)  So I called Apple on Monday, and on Tuesday my rental iPhone/ return shipping box showed up. That pleases me very much.

Update: I shipped my phone back to Apple on Wednesday, they got the phone Thursday morning, replaced it and shipped it out Thursday afternoon. I expect to have it in my hands this afternoon. That’s about as expedient as it gets. I am very happy with Apple’s customer service.
