TODAY: iFrenzy as new iPhone is released

Is the iPhone 5 the most anticipated product launch in history? On the TODAY show over the weekend, I showed off the iPhone 5 and talked about what’s exciting and new with the product. Plus, I try Siri out live and it… doesn’t exactly work as expected. Well, you can’t get everything to work during a live demo!

I also talk about the new maps, the connector, and offer a few alternative phones for buyers who really want to consider everything that’s on the market—I show off the Nokia Lumia 900 which runs Windows Phone 7, as well as both the Samsung Galaxy S III and the Droid RAZR M, both of which are running Google’s Ice Cream Sandwich variation of the Android operating system.

On this week’s episode of the #SocamShow, Shy and I head to the Apple Store on 5th Avenue in NYC, the center of New York’s iPhone hype. All the major networks were there to capture video live from outside the store, and in-between hits for HLN and CNN, we snuck in an episode of our show.

#SocamShow at Central Park! #reduce #reuse #rehashtag

This week on the #SocamShow, Shy and I find the mysteriously named Paint Boys who provide the intro for the show, watch two videos of child prodigies in action (a little kid who DJs and an insane Ping Pong player) as well as just take in the sights & sounds of Central Park in NYC.

And don’t forget to #reduce, #reuse, and #rehashtag!

The #SocamShow is a mobile talk show that features videos from a variety of Socialcam users, and airs weekly on the Socialcam App for iPhone and Android. We think it’s the world’s first mobile talk show, it’s definitely the first show to have aired directly from Jay-Z’s suite at the 40/40 club, and it’s probably the only show where it’s name is also a hashtage.

CNN VIDEO: iPhone 5: Thinner, faster…better?

iPhone fever is at an all time high, and as everyone knows I’m a huge fan of the product. But does that necessarily mean it’s the right choice for everyone to upgrade? With the phone already smashing all pre-order records for Apple, selling 2 million devices in the first 24-hours it was on pre-sale, it’s obvious there’s a huge amount of interest. But does that mean it’s necessarily time for you to upgrade?

On CNN this weekend, I talked with Victor Blackwell about everything iPhone 5—the new dock connector & chargers, who should upgrade, and who gets an upgrade to the new iOS 6 operating system for free. Just about the only thing I didn’t ask is why Victor owns two iPhone 4’s!

Feel free to watch this video directly on CNN’s site as well.
