Last week Thursday (25th of September), the launch party for the infamous iPhone 3G was held at VodaWorld. There was a rather large crowd that partied on until the launch at 12 o’clock that evening. I was in the VIP section with Vincent Maher, Denham Coote, the couple (Matt & Megg) and the Zoopy Crew.
I received the wonderful gift from Vodacom, the iPhone 3G, on arrival at the launch party. Nic Haralambous (GM of Zoopy), quickly snapped up a few photos of me opening the packaging. I also did a quick interview with Zoopy. Please excuse all the “um” and “err”, it was very on the spot.
As midnight drew closer, DJ Fresh came on to rock the crowd and keep the energy going. He’s also a very huge Apple fan. I was able to get my hands on the official pricing just before the launch, as it was signed-off at the last minute. If you weren’t at the launch party, you can catch the count down on Zoopy or the view all the videos and photos captured by the Zoopy Crew. The guys over at the ZA Tech Show also have an exclusive interview with Chris Ross from Vodacom about the iPhone 3G launch in South Africa.
I would like to give an extended thank you to Vodacom and everyone else behind the launch party, it was a roaring success. I would also like to thank Zoopy for taking the time to stream the event, I think they did a really great job.
