I just downloaded the iPhone/Wordpress app and wanted to test it out. I am very curious about how it handles photos so here is one totally un-related to this post.

by George it works…now i just need to figure out how to upload a photo…anyone know?

Last night I went to the TECH Cocktail event in Boulder. It was a low-key event sponsored by the folks at skinnycorp/threadless. Various companies had demos set up for the attendees to peruse, but the most interesting, by far to me was a company out of Boulder called Social Thing. Social Thing has created a site where users can add all (well most) of their social networking accounts (Flickr, Face Book, Twitter, etc) into one easy to view/update location. Check it out, they are in beta now, but will be releasing soon (you need an invitation code now – hint – leave a comment). They also have a cool iPhone app in the works.

The best part about going to events like this is the free beer…no wait it’s the inspiration that i get. It makes me do better on web development projects with Invisible Window. It exposes new technology and gets the ideas churning. I kind of wish events like this were bi-monthly.

So today I decided that it was time to take the plunge. I replaced the Blackberry Curve 8300 (Curve) with an Apple iPhone. I can only comment on the setup at this point, but as with everything under Mr. Job’s umbrella, it was very straightforward. Pretty much if you plug the phone in, with its included dock, iTunes opens and you go through a quick step-by-step process at the end of which, you have a functioning phone. I did the initial setup while on a conference call using my MacBook Pro. The longest part of the whole process was downloading the software to upgrade from 1.1.2 to 1.1.4 (a 162.1 Mb download).

I have yet to input my contacts and set up email, but that is next on the list, and i will be sure to report. I will definitely push the boundaries here as i will need to set up four accounts, Pantier.com, Invisible Window, GMail, and Hungry Mind.

Update – setting up mail etc was as easy as checking a few boxes in iTunes (which Apple is going to need to change the name of) – the iPhone automatically took the settings that Mac Mail uses and boom!  Everything works!

Anyone wanna buy a Curve?
