…and for all others not willing to be chained to AT&T in order to use the Apple iPhone.
On the downside, why does the iPod touch not include Mail.app or Google Maps, as the iPhone does? It would also be great to see the 16GB of flash memory boosted to 32GB soon.
Oh, and the other small thing that is missing from the “Vermonter’s iPhone”? The phone.

I have been a fan of SlidesShowPro, an Actionscript 2.0 component for Flash that helps you display photo galleries online, for sometime now and it looks to be getting a nice little update (video handling, etc.).
It is also a free update for existing users.
And now for the best feature of all! Both updates will be free of charge to all current users. Yes, free. Why? Because we’re crazy. No, seriously, we could have easily up-ticked both to “2.0″ and passed around the collection plate, but we don’t roll like that. Consider it a “thank you” for your constructive feedback, word-of-mouth support, and for taking a chance with us in the first place.

One year ago, yesterday, Smirnoff launched it’s award-winning Tea Partay viral video advertising campaign on YouTube. The purpose being to promote it’s Raw Tea malt beverage product. The video used a hip-hop theme to exploit the stereo-typical east-coast preppie style. Something about this video made me, and a lot of other people, watch it repeatedly and talk about it (the true sign of a successful viral marketing campaign). The YouTube Tea Partay videos alone have accrued more than 3.5 million combined views. That is a whole lot of (nearly) free advertising.
Yesterday, in an attempt to repeat the success, Smirnoff released the west-coast response. This time, it is a Green Tea Partay. I am not sure this attempt will prove as successful for the Smirnoff crew, as this video is just not nearly as fun or catchy. But, who knows, sequels do tend to make money in the box office, because people can’t seem to pass them up (regardless of not typically meeting expectations). In addition, YouTube certainly has more users than it did last year at this time. Could that make a difference? Time will tell.

With travels, I have not found much time to post. But, here are some new and old videos that I have been enjoying recently…
Flight of the Conchords - If You’re Into It
Ok Go - Here It Goes Again
Goat Girl - Not Just Pretty
Lip Dub - Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger.
P.S. - Notice the clean design and full screen mode on the Vimeo embedded video (last), as opposed to the YouTube videos…I love it.
