We get the chance to speak to the wonderful Cali Lewis from GeekBrief.tv about her upcoming Big Trip with her husband and partner Neal Campbell
I’d like to thank everyone for being involved with this show and a big apology for how late the show is, I’ve had a few issues the last few weeks that have slowed down production!
32 years ago to the day When Apple computer Inc. was born to the proud parents of Steven Gary Wozniak and Steven Paul Jobs. The birthed the Apple 1 in a garage in their hometown and now 32 years later the company is sat with many children such as the iPhone and the iPod.
Thank you Steve’s and Happy Birthday Apple!
The iPhone is hands down the most revolutionary device in the world to be ever made. Everyone knows it, and I don’t know one person who doesn’t think that. This post is reflecting on iPhone 2.0. Just for clarification, I DO NOT own an iPhone. I do wish I had an iPhone, so I am going to tell you some things that I want to see in an iPhone before I greatly considering buying an iPhone.

As some of you have noticed I (Chris) haven’t been on the podcast or blog as much lately. I just wanted to let you guys all know that I am still here and I will be on the shows more regularly and also be blogging a lot more in the time to come.
The reason for my absence has mainly been due to some small exams and they are not over yet. I have completed one GCSE this Friday just gone (hopefully got an A according to teacher) a year early and I still have some to come towards the end of April.
I have been working hard on these and they have taken up a lot of my time but rest assured I will be back blogging again and on the podcast hopefully this week. Thanks for everyone who has wanted to hear me again it means a lot and I will speak to you sometime soon.
In this episode of BUMP we teamed up with iPhone on My Life to interview AriX from iJailbreak and even get a few words from his mum too, thanks Mrs X!!
We also get the chance to speak to Aaron from Stuffed Iggy Software about developing a game for the iPhone
We hope you enjoy this episode, apologies for Skype noise, you all know the story by now!
With so many problems with Skype we finally managed to get a news show recorded with Jack Moore from MacFever.co.uk and David Hopkinson from MadeOnMyMac.co.uk.
No show notes for this one, sorry folks I’ve been away on business and hence the late show!!
I have been a Mac user for almost a year now and even before I started using a Mac I read a lot of Apple-related magazines, so I wanted to share my top two.
1) Mac|Life:
Mac|Life provides exclusive, authoritative information and advice for readers who want to get the most out of their Macs, iPods, and third-party hardware, software, and services. The magazine also delivers informative feature articles showcasing the latest hardware and software, an expanded “how-to” section, and candid reviews of the latest gear.
The reason I like Mac|Life so much, is because its content that I enjoy, and the ads are actually pretty good. I have tried a lot of software that I found in Mac|Life!
2) Macworld:
Macworld is the leading independent Web site covering the Apple and Mac market. Macworld
provides breaking news, hot tips, in-depth reporting, news analysis, objective product reviews
and lab testing, and compelling features on the latest Mac, iPod, and iPhone technologies.
This award-winning content, combined with Macworld’s popular forums and compelling blogs
and podcasts, makes Macworld the premier site for all things Apple.
Macworld is also a great magazine because its brought by some great people, and its good, quality content, and the columns are interesting.
Tell me what you think by commenting on the post, or email me directly!
Thanks,
Daniel Brusilovsky

For those of you who know me, you’ll know that I like watching video on the move, and up until now it’s been either YouTube or the videos I’ve downloaded or captured myself. What I really wanted though was the iPlayer from the BBC, because a lot of my favourite shows are on the platform, Torchwood, Doctor Who and dare I mention Holby City!
Well you know, now I can watch some of these, not all shows are available right now but I’m sure that will change, on the iPhone very easily. I managed to watch this week’s episode of Holby City quite happily while sat in bed the other night. I haven’t tried this via EDGE as yet, but I’ll keep you posted.
Could it be better, yes! They really need to build an iPhone interface for it, because the standard one is a bit fiddly! The video quality is very nice though.
So great job BBC!
