Taking the Day Off

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

Please excuse us if we are not responsive today.

We have been awaiting the iPhone 4 arrival for a long time. Some of us were smart (or is it lucky?) and pre-ordered the iPhone 4 to be delivered lovingly to our doorstep. Others of us will be waiting in line first thing Thursday morning. Nonetheless, all of us soon-to-be iPhone 4 owners have awaited this day for a while. Whether we are anxiously waiting in line or already experimenting with your new feature set, you can rest assured that 100% of our attention will be focused on the iPhone 4 today. (If you are a current client, we promise that we’re actually working very hard on your app!)

We can now enjoy our favorite Apple apps in a new and different way:

  • Multitasking: Listen to NPR Music in the background as we play Doodle Bomb.
  • Thinner Frame: And, of course, buying all the accessories to accompany the new design.
  • Gift Apps: Sending mom the Gas Buddy app so she can find the cheapest gas nearest her GPS location.
  • Video Calling: Using FaceTime to tell our friends and family about the new (soon to be announced) Bottle Rocket apps.
  • Extended Battery Life: Spending more time with the Disney® Craft Finder without having to hook up for more juice.

How will you be spending quality time with your new iPhone 4?
