24 Hours of iPhone
Thursday, July 10, 2008 at 8:18AM
I'm going live in a few hours and won't be off the air until tomorrow.
We're calling this insanity "24 Hours of iPhone." Starting at 10a today (July 10) I'll be doing my usual Thursday slate of shows on TWiT Live, including Roz Rows, Windows Weekly, and Jumping Monkeys. But in between shows, I'll also be talking with folks waiting in line for the new iPhone. Then at 3p Pacific we go live with wall-to-wall coverage of the iPhone launch.
The first 3G phones are already being sold in New Zealand and as Apple Stores open at 8am local time worldwide we'll be talking with folks in line. We're also giving away store credit for 10 iPhones, each with $100 credit toward Audible audio books to random callers during the program, thanks to our fantastic sponsor Audible.com
At 5p Pacific/8 Eastern/midnight UTC we'll be talking with Steve Wozniak about his new iPhone. Other special guests will join us through the night. I'll continue until the last Apple store opens its doors in Honolulu, Hawaii, at 11a Eastern Friday July 11.
Join us for this marathon celebration of the launch of the iPhone 3G on TWiT Live!

Hello Leo, don't leave the Hawaii folks hanging? The Honolulu store opens at 8am Hawaii time on Friday July 11th. 8am Hawaii time is 2pm East Coast time. You say above that you will continue until 11am East Coast time......that is 5am Hawaii time, the store will not be open yet in Hawaii!?!?!? I am a die hard and would love to be the last winner of the Iphone and will be there early, but just dont forget about us in Hawaii, finish off the '24 hours of Iphone' right! Thank You, love your work!
