iPhone in Vermont in January: It's Official!

ByMike Moffit

Finally! Regarding bringing the iPhone to Vermont, Kate MacKinnon, a spokeswoman for AT&T said “It’s official” in today’s Burlington Free Press.

This is great news for us. Vermont is the only state that does not have an AT&T branch. Thus AT&T does not officially offer the iPhone in Vermont. While many Small Dog employees already own iPhones and love them, we’re very glad that At&T is here, making it easy for our friends and families to take advantage of everything the iPhone offers.

AT&T expects to bring 75 new jobs to Vermont, which is also excellent news.

UPDATE: In a statement to the Burlington Free Press, Small Dog Electronics CEO Don Mayer said:

Small Dog Electronics is thrilled to see Apple’s revolutionary iPhone come to Vermont at long last.   As Vermont and New England’s largest independent Apple reseller, Small Dog Electronics would love to offer our customers the iPhone.   Unfortunately, Apple does not make the iPhone available to Apple Specialists or independent authorized resellers.   We are ready to offer AT & T space in our S. Burlington store to meet the demand for the iPhone and Small Dog Electronics offers a complete line of iPhone accessories such as headphones, speakers, cases and FM Transmitters. We hope that we will be able to work with AT & T to offer the iPhone at our store in the near future.

Small Dog does offer many iPhone 3G accessories not available from AT&T or Apple. We’ll soon run some special offers on these to commemorate iPhone service in Vermont. We’ll be adding even more accessories in the next couple of weeks.

  • In Like a Lion: 10.7 Coming in Summer '11

    When the image popped up on the web for the Back to the Mac event, the cat behind the Apple was easily recognizable, prompting the accurate speculation that the next incarnation of OS X would be branded “Lion.” Today, Steve announced that 10.7 is indeed on its way, slated for release in Summer 2011.

    Lion boasts dozens of new features, including the Mac App Store, Launchpad, Full-screen apps and Mission Control. Here’s how Apple describes it:

    “We took our best thinking from Mac OS X and brought it to the iPhone. Then we took our best thinking from the iPhone and brought it to iPad. And now we’re bringing it all back to the Mac with our eighth major release of the world’s most advanced operating system.”

    Mac App Store
    Inspired by the success of the App Store for iPhone and iPod touch and available in 90 days from today, the Mac App Store will allow you to purchase, download and install apps from the store itself—no packaging required! Developers will be able to submit apps for approval as soon as November. We’ll have more on this shortly, since this is a big change from how you’re used to getting apps on your Mac.

    Launchpad
    As Apple puts it, the Launchpad “gives you instant access to your apps—iPad style.” When you click the Launchpad icon in your Dock, your windows will “fade away,” leaving a full-screen view of all of the apps on your Mac. From there, you swipe your fingers to see multiple pages, bringing the functionality of Spaces. If you have just downloaded an app from the Mac App Store, it will automatically appear in the Dock, ready to launch.

    Full-screen apps
    This is a great way to tune out the distractions. Apps can now go full-screen natively, something people have been asking for for a long time (I used to get this question all the time from people who were switching from Windows). You will be able to bring an app to full-screen with one click, switch to another with a swipe, and then back to the desktop with another swipe.

    Mission Control
    Mission Control gives you a “bird’s-eye view of everything” all in one place. Apple describes it thusly: “With a simple swipe gesture, your desktop zooms out to Mission Control. There you can see your open windows grouped by app, thumbnails of your full-screen apps, Dashboard, and even other Spaces, arranged in a unified view.” Anything in Mission Control is accessible with one click.

    No word yet on the price tag of Lion, nor a firmer release date. We’ll be keeping you up-to-date on Lion news as we get it!
