As if you needed another reason to lurk around an Apple Store...

Hand Held Hollywood has been asked to give a great big presentation at the Biggest Apple Store in the country! It's happening this Friday night (June 4th), from 6 to 8pm, at the Boylston Street Apple Store in Boston. I'll be there, discussing all the latest iPhone and iPad apps & accessories for media makers. If you're in the area, come join us for what is sure to be a fun night!

The event is being hosted by the Boston Final Cut Pro Users Group.  You can get all the details on Apple's site...and yeah, I'm pretty stoked to be listed on Apple's site.

On a side note, I graduated from Emerson College in Boston, and I'm hoping to see at least a few Emerson students in the audience. You know who you are!

Thanks to everyone who came out to hear me present last week.  I'm pretty sure that was the first time the phrase "that app sucks ass" has ever been spoken through an amplified mic at an Apple Store.  I'm proud to break new ground! ...but I may not get invited back.

It's 1am, you're trapped on set, and the director just called for a two-headed giraffe.  Where are you going to find one at this hour?!  Fear not!  A new company called Doddle has developed a complete production guide for your iPhone.  You can look up all kinds of production resources using a variety of search criteria.  

They've got big plans for the future.  I'll let them tell you all about it.

Broadcast Pix has developed an iPad app called iPixPanel that can replace thousands of dollars worth of equipment. It's another terrific example of the iPad being used to virtualize existing hardware, a trend I'm sure will continue in the future!

Another tradeshow, another pair of wicked-cool announcements from Bodelin, the company behind ProPrompter, the current champ of teleprompting apps.

First off, the ProPrompter app now supports two types of syncing, making remote control and multi-camera shoots a breeze.  Secondly, Bodelin was showing off their new ProPrompter HDi which turns your shiny new iPad into the ultimate through-the-lens teleprompter.

Don't understand?  Watch the video, and you will!
