What do you think of the iPhone?
July 5, 2007 
Well, we are up to 3 iPhones here at For Your Imagination and so far we've been pretty impressed. Sure there are things it doesn't do and things it does that other phones have done for a while but that not what this is about. This is about easy of use and simplicity, getting it to do the stuff we want without too much fuss. Most of all, for FYI, this is about a new device that easily allows users to view Internet Video and Video Podcasts on the go!
Again it is limited but that shouldn't last long. RoughlyDrafted has a great overview of the development landscape as well as some insight into how the iPhone made it to us. This site provides a continuously updated list of new (web-based Ajax) apps for the shiny new phone. And, of course, the hacking has begun. So far they've firgured out the .DMG password and activated it without the help of AT&T. What do you think of the iPhone so far? Let us know in the comments.

Make that four iPhones in the office - mine was delivered on Friday 7/6 - one week after I ordered it on the Apple online store. As Michael stated above - the device is impressive and for us means many more Video Podcast viewers. If you have an iPhone and you enjoy For Your Imagination shows - be sure to use the iPhone YouTube application to search for "ForYourImagination", "For Your Imagination", or any of the titles of your favorite FYI shows (The Patrice Oneal Show - Coming Soon!, bschooltalk etc.) - you may not get any search results as yet, but from what we understand Apple is transcoding YouTube videos based on demand. To best enjoy FYI shows on your iPhone subscribe via iTunes and simply select the podcasts you want to sync up with your iPhone. I've already started watching podcasts on my commute and it's a pleasure. Let us know what you think of video on the iPhone and enjoy the shows on the go!For Your Imagination in insight
