Geek Brief TV #296

In this episode, we stop by the FastMac booth and talk to them about
their new iPhone iV [1]. It did two things people at the Expo really
liked. It extends battery life of the iPhone by almost three, and it
has a light that can be used either with the camera, or just
as...well...a light. It provides 24 hours of talk time and 21 hours of
video playback. It also has a USB port and dock connector for
different types of input. I also stopped by the Dream Cheeky [2]
booth, which might be the most fun booth at Macworld. It's home to
lots and lots of crazy USB toys, including a USB green house and the
MSN Rocket Launcher [3] (which isn't compatible with Mac, but that
didn't stop anybody from enjoying it). When the booth dude shot me
with the missile, I accidentally plowed over a nice little boy. We shot enough stuff for at least twelve episodes. Most of the
other stuff moves faster than this one, but I wanted to get the
FastMac iV story up because there's a Macworld discount available for
pre-ordering right now.
