Talking iPhone 3G S on CNN.com
Despite losing my voice yesterday, I rallied for an appearance on CNN.com this morning with MG Siegler, Ben Parr and Mark McClusky. We spoke about the new iPhone 3G S and if now is a good time to upgrade, our favorite apps, and if Blackberry has a chance to win hearts and minds with their new offerings.
And why am I the only lameass with a headset on? Seriously, Veronica. Get with the program.

Droid SMS alert on the iPhone
about 10 months ago - 21 comments
Ryan has been quite taken by the Droid SMS alert sound (as evidenced by the most recent gdgt podcast) so I decided it would be fitting to make it his ringtone on my iPhone when he calls. Unfortunately, I realized after the fact that it would have been much funnier to make it the default
Liberating myself from my iPhoto library
about 11 months ago - 26 comments
Today I decided to dump my 16GB iPhoto library onto an external drive. After tweeting about it, several people asked me how I went about it, so here’s a quick guide (for Mac users). 1. Close iPhoto. 2. Locate your iPhoto Library under User/Pictures/iPhoto Library. 3. Copy the folder by right-clicking or Ctrl-clicking. 4. Paste
Culture of the Apps
about 1 year ago - 9 comments
It’s no secret that iPhone applications are a breakout hit for Apple, even beyond their own expectations. Because of this, a culture of app fanatics is popping up online, which include a slew of new podcasts and video shows that cater to people looking for the best and brightest apps out there. Frankly, with all
The iPhone app organizer I would love to see
about 1 year ago - 33 comments
Back in September I blogged about how an app organizer would have been a nice (and logical) addition to iTunes. Gizmodo posted a concept video today showing how that functionality could be integrated into the existing iTunes design. I can’t find much more information about the creator of the video (YouTube user svdomer09) but I
Start off the New Year with an iPod shuffle [Contest]
about 1 year ago - 649 comments
Last week the guys over at Golden Shellback, who make “splashproof” coatings for gadgets, sent me a 1GB silver iPod shuffle (splashproofed, of course). Since I already have an iPhone to listen to my tunes on I thought it would be fun to give it away here on the site! The “contest” is going to
How about a T-Mobile G1 Q&A?
about 1 year ago - 46 comments
I’ve had a couple of weeks to play with the new T-Mobile G1 running Google’s Android, and I have to say that I’ve really enjoyed it. I’m not going to write a full review here, because I think that’s been done quite thoroughly by others in the blogosphere (see Engadget’s full review, and Ryan’s impressions).
Apple in the handheld gaming world
about 1 year ago - 26 comments
I was listening to the gdgt roundtable this morning, and they started talking about the iPhone / iPod Touch as a gaming device. Josh Topolsky insisted that Apple was trying to drink Sony and Nintendo’s milkshakes, while Ryan said that Apple is just going for the “value add” of having games. This got me thinking
A little iPhone organization would be nice
about 1 year ago - 34 comments
I made a Friendfeed post a while ago about this, and then I realized that microblogging is sucking whatever ideas I have for blog posts right out of my head and turning them into one-sentence blips in the social-networking ether… Anyhow. The iPhone interface is intuitive. However, this does not mean that it’s practical, especially

At least your audio quality was better than that other dude.
Get better soon!

I’m glad they mentioned my voice so I didn’t have to! Rather than just having the audience assume that I typically sound like a 60yo woman that’s been smoking for 40 years. :/

It’s like that episode of friends when Phoepe had her sexy raspy singing voice. Go V!
about 1 year ago
Well V, you managed to sound like the most knowledgeable blogger on the show despite it coming on the heels of you losing your voice (which seems to be getting close to back to normal now)…I agree with the headset thing. What’s with that? You’ve reviewed tons of cams with mics on Tekzilla, you must have one or two of your own.

Hey V – the headset gives you geek-cred! And I’m so sorry you lost your voice; I hope it’s not sore, and I hope you get better soon. Hugs from Boston!

How cute with your headset
I personally don’t think buying a 3G S is very wise at this time because it doens’t have a very dramatic change software/hardware compared to my current 3G.
I’ve seen it on videos and the only thing that I think i’ll miss is videos and that extra speedy processor, other than that nothing.
Also because I bought the 3G on November I’ll have to pay the “premium” $200. Cmon AT&T!
about 1 year ago
Aww you did great even with your voice problem! Someone should of said I get a new iphone if it wasn’t tie to AT&T! lol
about 1 year ago
It wasn’t so bad, you really did well. For iPhone, I love my 3G, and I won’t replace it with 3G S.
Blessings on thee.

Veronica I agree with you about the new iPhone. Video recording and editing on the fly is only the one thing that has me attracted but otherwise meh.

When they put multiple experts together like that I think you’re supposed to argue and interrupt each other. Makes for the best TV.

Love the face you make when Mark stream fudges a bit when he’s asked what apps he likes. You sound cute with your voice like this, but I obviously hope you get better.

Haha, I was making the face because they took all my favorite apps before I had a chance to say them! Not because he fudged anything, which I don’t remember

I am going to come right out with a so called “Unsolicited compliment” (as Natali Del Conte calls them), I think you did really good with your voice, and the segment was definitely interesting.

Eventually you’ll get offered $1m / year to go to CNN or NBC. Then we’ll lose our favorite geek to network. Sigh.

Wow! your voice! very cute, is like listening to another Veronica. The evil twin (??) The headset shows your commitment to the program
Blackberry aims at a different level of users, it is good that differs with the iphone, which is more multimedia.

Thanks for posting this video, I got most of the apps you folks suggested. I love the mint app, hopefully it can shape up my financing. Get well soon Veronica!

Hi, Veronica.
I watched this clip on CNN today, and I wanted to say that you sounded quite intelligent and informed, despite the little trouble you had with your voice. I hope you feel better soon.
The CNN site has a cursory comparison of four smart phones, but it does nothing to alleviate my confusion as someone considering whether to replace my aging mobile with a first smart phone. Do you know of a good comparison sites for judging what phone to get for particular needs? I would mainly use a smart phone for business (and so care less about games) and keeping in touch with distant friends and family (so video is a plus), but I am not sure which would most closely match my needs. Is there anything comparable to dpreview.com for phones instead of cameras?
Thanks.

Hi Richard!
Here’s a great comparison from CNET:

Thanks, Veronica. That is more like what I was hoping to find.

If you’re gonna wear a headset, wear the most obnoxious ones you can find, I mean like 70s style…lol j/k
And I agree with photoTristan, you guys were so cordial with each other. I was waiting for some raging to happen.
