Stay Tuned To The iPhone 5 News Blog As AppMinute’s Sam Levin Liveblogs WWDC 2012!
Posted by Michael Nace on Sunday Jun 10, 2012 Under iPhone 5 NewsFor the first time, the iPhone 5 News Blog will have a correspondent at this year’s WWDC to cover all the action. The event will be covered here on the iPhone 5 News Blog by veteran technology guru Sam Levin, host of AppMinute and longtime crony.
The iPhone 5 News Blog is excited to announce that we will be liveblogging the 2012 WWDC! Longtime tech ally Sam Levin, host of AppMinute and all-around tech insider, will be at the event and will be covering it here, as it happens, on his iPad 3 and mifi 4 card.
I’ve known Sam for years: he is deeply connected all around the tech sphere. He knows folks at Apple, all of the major and minor consumer electronics accessories companies, and a host of other entities that would blow your mind. He is the ultimate insider — the guy you want covering the WWDC.
His bio reads as follows:
Sam Levin is currently an on-air podcast technology and entertainment host for AppMinute. He is also a consultant in the emerging technology industry. Sam is the former Cofounder of the Stanford Mac Users’ Group, a key special interest (Mac) group representing one of Apple’s first Consortium based Universities. Levin plays a critical role in forging a path for airing new products and technologies, and is widely credited in developing crucial relationships between entertainment and technology industries. Levin works with leading Macintosh, PC and mobile developers on influence, social media, business development, and brand evangelism. Sam has also directed licensing initiatives for leading entertainment companies including Virgin Interactive, Broderbund, and Mattel. For more than 20 years, Sam has worked closely with technology companies, providing him a special insight on the trends and future direction of personal computing and consumer electronics.
If you’ve never checked out AppMinute, I suggest you do so, especially if you’re passionate about cases and accessories. They do an amazing job of covering and keeping ahead of the ever-changing consumer electronics sector. You can follow Sam on Twitter at @samlevin and AppMinute at @appminute.

Oh happy day! Lol

See you on the other side of the WWDC everyone! Let’s hope we get what we dream of.
June 11th, 2012 at 7:02 am
Sounds like the best live blog for the best website!
June 11th, 2012 at 8:14 am
How is is going to be set up? Like in the comments or something? In that case, don’t allow comments. But if you somehow managed to make the website truly support a live blog, I’m so exited! I can’t believe you are actually supporting a live blog from WWDC! This site is really stepping with the big boys now!

Hey Undfeatable: The live blog will take place on this post: http://iphone5newsblog.com/2012/06/10/sam-levin-of-appminute-liveblogs-wwdc-2012/ and Sam will actually update the blog post in real time, using a plug-in that will update the page in real time — kind of like how Twitter works. So, the updates won’t be in the comments sections, but I have turned off comments for that post, since Core2 recommended it for keeping the site from crashing. Hopefully all will go smoothly from the technical end. If we get a DRUDGESTRIKE, it could get crazy!
June 11th, 2012 at 9:59 am
I was actually going to tell you to disable commenting also. I hate when sites crash. Will the plug in work for iPhones?
June 11th, 2012 at 11:04 am
Awesome! In your post though you said Monday the 10th. Scared me there..

My trusty bottle of bubbly is ready, now a vintage after WWDC 2011 and the refresh of the IP4 in October.
Fingers crossed, here’s hoping and two hours to go I already have the live feed blog up and running!
Good morning to all in the US from the UK and of course to all readers and commenters on this blog site, I hope we all get what we want.
Thanks to Michael, Charles for all the good work and welcome to Sam for his live blog.
Over to you Apple….

Well, it looks like we’ll continue our next generation iPhone discussions throughout the summer. Can’t wait to get our discussions up and running again! iOS 6 looks awesome, Mountain Lion is really good, and the MacBook Pro is sweet!

Together with almost everything which appears to be developing within this particular area, many of your perspectives happen to be quite radical. In any case I did take pleasure in examining it.
