Finally we’ve sorted through (a few of) the tapes and tapes of video from our trip to San Francisco (including Macworld) and have put together a cool video recapping our time so far. It’s not done — look for a more polished release soon and many other videos to boot.

We slept in late after being up for 48 hours (and being first in line). Twenty-something hours of sleep, to be exact! But, we are again alive and awake — ready to continue coverage from the show floor. We should start uploading videos and pictures later this afternoon with text updates fairly constant, throughout the day. Currently I am uploading photos from yesterday on Flickr — so after the jump, check out the slideshow!

We’ve just finished our 22-hour stint on the keynote line, and I’m joining you live from… Moscone South. No opportunities presented themselves for me to be admitted, so I was forced to part ways with Matt as he entered the building just minutes ago. I’ll be here throughout the keynote, monitoring and maintaining the liveblog. If anything at all’s awry, drop me an email at [email protected] or a message on GTalk (SidneySM).

Unfortunately, our growing line for the Stevenote has been split up. IDG has decided to split the line this year between Platinum and Super Pass owners and “general users”. The Platinum and Super Pass holders line up down 4th Street, where last years line was while the “general users” line up down Howard Street. This should prove interesting. Pictures are coming soon, I promise!

Guess what? Sidney and I are first in line for the Keynote. We have been in line since approximately 10 AM. We were recently joined by a third person, who is unsure if he will stay the entirety of the night (depending on if we can get power). We were just talking with Justine from iJustine.tv and a few other people amazed that we were lining up almost 24 hours in advance. We are going to be doing a live show for theDigitallifestyle.tv from the line at 9PM EST (6PM PST). We are working on video and some more pictures, so watch for them coming your way.

It is January 14th, and I am in inside Moscone West. Sindey is currently outside waiting for the keynote, first in line and I will shortly join him after my conference. Keep checking the AJAX app for the latest. Photos after the jump.

With Macworld slowly dawning upon us, everyone is eager to know what Steve Jobs has up his sleeve. In fact, we are so eager that we traveled 2,904 miles to see it. Thats right- something is in the air. We will be providing live coverage from Macworld, starting tomorrow at about 8AM PST- but remind your fingers that the server will do all the refreshing for you- thats right, AJAX! For now, however, you can check out these pictures we obtained today, which involved getting kicked out of both Moscone Centers. Feel free to visit the AJAX app here. Photos after the jump.

So, again, I apologize for the lack of content over the past few days. Sidney and I have been working hard to get the AJAX and SMS updaters working (and properly!) and packing. Early tomorrow afternoon, Sidney and I are flying off to SFO. You can track us and our flight here (Continental Flight 1702). We will be beginning our extensive Macworld coverage on Sunday. Again, sincere apologies for the lack of updates over these past two days! If you are going to Macworld, drop us a line — we look forward to seeing new faces!

Okay, so as we are preparing for Macworld (ie; Coding AJAX day/night and traveling) things might become a little dry around here. But rest assured, we are going to be in full force all next week, with Macworld updates galore!

Specifically, for Macworld, we will have our AJAX Live Blogging app all ready to go. Infact, you can preview it here! You simply load up the 840X640 page and watch through photos and text, Macworld unfold (both the Keynote and Expo). The coding is nearing competition, look for it being released in the coming day(s).

Also, tying into the AJAX app will be our SMS Updater. You can choose to receive messages deemed ‘Urgent’ via text message. Look out for this coming very soon as well.

Additionally, we will be posting videos of us visiting various booths, covering product introductions and hopefully some interviews. These videos should be posted throughout the day. Lastly, we will be composing a video of our travels and experiences throughout the day (similar to the Apple Store West 14th Street video coverage) at the end of each day.

So, that is about all of our plans for Macworld 2008. Remember, if there is something you think we are missing, or any requests– feel free to shout them out or send us an email! We are glad to oblige to your requests! If you are anxiously counting down the days, check out our Widget for that as well.

With the iPhone now one year old, it is come time to reflect upon it’s first year of public existence. The past year for the iPhone and, the cell phone industry has been monumental- many grounds have been broken. In fact the competitors are still trying to catch up to the very high standards Apple has set.

This coming year should be interesting and will certainly foretell the future of the iPhone, and cell phones to come. Already in the lineup is the Official SDK in February- for native third party iPhone apps. Besides AT&T service (and EDGE), an official SDK is the top complaint against the iPhone.

This coupled with other updates (16GB, 3G or price drop) as well as the expansion to Asia should prove for a very promising year for the iPhone and, Apple. Depending upon the sales of the iPhone after the price drop, the goal of 10 million iPhones sold should be obtainable by the end of this year. Happy (public) Birthday, iPhone- may this year prove even better!
