Are you wondering what happened last night at the Globe iPhone 3G Countdown Launch Party?
Try to the watch the archived (live) streaming of the event at Qik and Bambuser! The Qik stream was captured through a Nokia E71 while the Bambuser stream was created through my Sony Ericsson P990i simultaneously.
Before the event, Kuya and I had dinner at Circles in Makati Shangri-la that was sponsored by Globe, and afterwards we proceeded to Ayala Tower One for the main event. I was not really into taking pictures because 1) there were so many flashes of light coming from everywhere which would only ruin my shots, 2) my mobile phone’s camera was not really that good + i got myself a shaky hand, and 3) i was actually planning of streaming the event live.
Unfortunately, I posted a wrong link of my other stream on my microblogging services (Twitter, Ping.fm) and I just realized it when I have checked the link at home. Obviously, I had a hard time figuring or remembering the link of my other stream since I don’t frequently use it and I was on mobile mode with both hands busy covering the event at the Ayala Tower One.
I was supposed to attend the successful BarCamp Manila yesterday but obviously it’s impossible to be in 2 places at the same time. 
So how about you? Are you planning to get an iPhone 3G too or do you have one already?
