Review: Podium (Platinum for iPhone Original)

[0mk01ber]

podium or xtand ??

[aznpatric]

xtand

[ascensionkiller]

its 29$ now^^

[VoxSweden]

You wonder if they did the design on purpose? :P

[KUKU4103]

i think it`s cool if you do lots of app reviews,otherwise,it`s just a gimmick,i personally would not pay 60 dollars for this,i better spend them on hookers and booze :D

[pablo5550123]

when you see it you'll shit bricks.....

[clarissaexplains3]

just in case you need to phone your mother while jerking off

[Pacificswift45]

It looks like the foot on the back of the IMAC.

[AndrewsAwesome]

yeah they just sawed it off and attached the top of the tom tom car kit for iphone lol

[MusicisUnderratedM]

....so you talked about a holder for 7 minutes?

[lachcik5084]

it is a good review actually. it is an apple product. i got one now and ya they made it so it looks like the imac...just a mini version

[ejayarts]

basically for people lazy enough to hold their phone,. and to waste their money at

[3Dvids2009]

isnt it funny how weve become so lazy that were willing to pay $68 to have something hold something less than a pond for you? think about that

[stchman]

A $68 iPhone holder.  For those with money to burn.

[manilikesmusic]

jiiiiipppp!

[FARecords]

So this basically holds the iPhone for you? -___-

[CooperSnow]

lol i phoone

[TravisProductions]

i would use it to watch movies in the car or on the plane

[simdude2u]

David, you should de-interlace your videos to get rid of the lines your newer videos that you upload to YouTube.

[dannyd12100]

Iphone sucks, omnia HD will wipe the floor with it :D

[lococeral]

lol ,, like you say it it will be stupid to walk with the the podium around with the iphone in it ,, idd is stupid :p

[IrishAceGH]

68 dollars...rip off

[Crash900s]

have you heard about apple's law suit against them?

[FunIsPhun]

what is the white apple case on your shelf?

[deaker123]

How much was it?

[movieboy2006]

nice video.

the part about the house in earthquake was funny...just to let you know

Just in case someone was trying to text during a earthquake or trying to watch a video...lol

[ninjadude9]

Apple is sending a cease and desist on the Podium just because it has the term "Pod" in it, this is outrageous.

[thetrevorchannel]

"Fail" lol

[bwillwall]

-____- did u even watch the video?

[bwillwall]

i hope thats not true =O

[Ausman350]

show me those doubles

[201justin201]

i think that podium thing is defiantly pointless and not worth the money.

[xagerox]

So just because you can't use this in your sad little world means that no one could ever use one? yeah, nice mate.

[Ethanace]

I neeeed a new phone, I want a 3G but I can't afford it... yet.

[shanec2008]

wait and save up cuz i think that apple will prob. bring a new iPhone in June... i dont no if the will ut i think they will

[nikeeweston]

yes

[pstce38]

$68 = £47 yikes!

[nikeeweston]

yep the exchange rate is awful at the moment

[nightcasino]

Way spendy...

[tonyg41]

Yeah i agree, The iphone is great I own it and I cant see myself using any other phone but a stand to hold it is a bit crazy i could understand to hold it sideways as a clock at night but not for 70 dollars I could buy a clock that projects time on my ceiling and tells me room temp and much more for $70 and there's really no other use for a iphone stand other then that unless your very lazy

[AlexHippert]

Im not paying $68!

[RLBP90]

I would really like to get this but I cant seem to find it in the UK! :@

Any ideas anyone? Google searched it and everything but nothing about...

[nikeeweston]

try the x stand it is sold here in the uk, try the apple online, the x stand is exactly the same

[RLBP90]

Yeah I saw the xtand but I really dont like it that much... it doesnt do all the swivelling and pivoting that the Podium does...

Robbie Pereira

[MagicHutSpinbee]

"thats a nice little bonus."

thats wat she said! 648

Anyways, like always, nice review!

[lipphillypicklepoo]

Do they make firmwere updates for the origional iphone?

[bedaman10]

Yes, it's available via iTunes.

[bedaman10]

Podium is being shut down by Apple for having the word POD in their name.

[lipphillypicklepoo]

Really?

[popgames]

no, they got a request. it will probably go in podiums favor...its a stupid request.

[bedaman10]

Oh a request to take POD of out the name?

[Imasofat]

I'm thinking this would be great for a person with use of only one hand. Also, are you sure its stainless steel?, because it looks like chrome plated steel.

[IrishInsomniac00]

Them showing the iPhone isn't ironic :P

[Intellduocore2]

look at xtand I think it grips it better

[NYCVEC]

yes u're right it looks like an imac stand but i think it is made so because so it looks like a part of the apple family :D

[colintay909]

actually my house was just hit by an earthquake and my podium just fell over :(

[arsenalchamp]

Looks good :)

[TheMacHack]

xtand = better (my opinion)

[Pachein321]

Cheer Up :)

[MaximusGamer]

lol "Naked"

[achilforce]

dude where did all your good mood go???

[xxxxxPIETROxxxxx]

is he canadian or summin?

[joesxnotxemo]

wats the iphone like 4 txting

[avolox2]

"I'm trying to be funny - fail....." lol

xD

[xBJZx]

lol, if you have a massive earthquake it might fall off.... haha David good work mate.

[vaio1634]

yea great review

[madbomber69]

yeah thats stupid, i love apple aswell and i doubt that they would sue anything with the word pod in it... thats just stupid. They dont own the word pod, its Ipod... good vid!

[DRBUK]

apple sent the podium company....A CEASE AND DECEASE ORDER, so of podium dont get rid of the word POD IN PODIUM, apple will sue them....nice of apple isnt it !.lol

[thecreativeone]

I love Apple and everything, but that's ridiculous. I hope Pivotal doesn't have to give in with this...

[DRBUK]

ye, i think out of all the ppl to sue, podium are the least important, and plus i think apple taking it a lil far, but thats how it is, u know how apple are, they flex there muscles when they feel there brand is being remotely used.

[rorythedalek181197]

You love everything expensive were do you get all this stuff?

[sonic10158]

nice iPhone boxes in the background

[linville15]

i want one

[illage2]

It does look like the iMac.

[billydelp4]

deinterlace!

[ipodtouched32]

Great review man!

[Aaron16]

They probably won't be around for much longer LOL

[iTzChasE]

I wish they made a cheap plastic model for cheap people like me. lol

[DerrickBouchard]

WAY too expensive. :P good review.

[ElectronicsCritics]

i got the xtand instead this ones a bit expensive...

[CamoMark]

his bed is inn front of his closet??? wtf?!!!?

[macfan9000]

...is that bad CamoMark?

[CamoMark]

well how does he get his closet open??

[macfan9000]

He probably has a little walkway section on the other side.

[CamoMark]

True dat

[jhugo1986]

not quite worth the money.

anyway great video.

[braineyboy]

well even if apple did not make it its for the iphone so it was bound to have an  imac looking stand

[rres2]

well i know the touch can use it but witch one do buy iphone original or 3g

[ToMMuFc92uk]

Ouch $68! is steep, useful product but not worth the money

[thelaxplaya7]

look online i think it was gizmodo that reported it but apple got mad because this stand had the word "pod" in it and got mad and is trying to use legal action, they also said that it looks like the imacs

[ChaoxNinja]

So basically, this product is completely useless and just for show.

Watching a movie on it is pointless since it is placed on a desk, and most of the time the computer will be there as well. I can't really see somebody watching a movie on an iphone indoors.

[Louis0nFire]

XStand > this crap.

[JMDylan]

Nice product.

[sousuke121]

The orignal iPhone can only use EDGE For data, Whilst the iPhone 3G can use the 3G Network which is faster (Alot) than EDGE.

[Drifter2080]

xstand copy

[thoughtoutbiz]

and Xstand copied who? PED3

[schnurr31]

im glad i subcribed

[Drifter2080]

me tooooo

[TheiPodWizz]

nICE NICE MAN LOVE THE VIDS

[hitdogs2008]

no when he means the original phone he means the first one that came out, a year or so later apple came out with a new iphone called the iphone 3g

[snowwave41]

hmm...i've never thought about anything like that very nice product! maybe i'll have to consider one!

[FlightSimTutorials]

Okay so $70 for a slab of metal and some plastic. What are these guys thinking? It's a stand which doesn't have a connector or room for your case. So by their logic you'd have to remove the case every time you decide to use their product then put it back on when you're done. I don't know about you guys but I would think that constant removal of the case and putting it back on will scratch the back of your iPod touch / iphone 3g. No thank you clueless people of Podium Revolution...neeeext....

[bluewolverine40]

seems like someone with a little carpentry knowledge could make one out of wood

[kara12]

looks like the imac stand

[klolomggmo]

why did you never upgrade to the 3g?

[brostinkles1]

Because it wasn't worth it at the time.

[ongoing37]

you should do a desk tour or room tour.

[redsoxlover325]

tht was coincidental not ironic. srry to be picky but nit

[bweber16]

you should do a tour of a geeks home desk!!

[DLB1752]

I had the same concerns about the price.

[aljwarren]

I couldn't find the iphone keynote on itunes (UK), is it only on the US itunes?

[iCreate14]

type in apple keynotes in the search field

[JordanLolss]

i cant find the ipod touch stand on the website

[CBGFilms]

Nice video quality David, but to get rid of the funny lines, deinterlace it!

[htcjunkie16]

Yeah, make it progressive.

[thecreativeone]

I have the option checked in iMovie. Hmm...

[Punkdoggy800]

This produt is being Ceased, Pivotal is being fored to stop producing these :( Apple contacted them telling them it's not allowed to use the word "pod" in their name because of a copyright. It also looks too much like the ipod stand :( Full story on Gizmodo

[MegaJoe16]

Excellent build quality from what I can tell from the video, great review david!

[TomIsGeek]

Awesome

[georgel1510]

nice vid and product

[mitch625]

Great video man. I think that will be a lot nicer if that wasn't stainless steel.

But very informative.

5/5

[THISCHANNELPWNS]

you can get a pearl couloured one, look on the website (Y)

[rav07]

Great vid David!

Do you recommend it for my ipod touch 2g?

[renold123]

nice video,but the video quality wasnt really clear

[ChrisBerty33]

I want one for ipod touch

[scooooott]

Good Review looking at a similar product the X-Stand for my iPhone 3G :)

[tomchams95]

Looks great man, i would love one !!

[smartalec8125]

nice video!

[phatnoodle]

Btw, that is an awesome thing.  When I get my iphone, I will probably try to buy it.

[iTouchiPodz]
