Apple distributor AVAD arranged a small conference and product presentation in Riga on March 11. I attended briefly (for me, any Apple event preaches to the converted) and was able to talk to Jonas Jonušas, a small and medium business manager for AVAD. Here is the video:

No "iPhone 3g Friday"in Latvia
Despite an earlier announcement by Apple officials that the second wave of iPhone 3G launches would start in around 20 countries on August 22, only Estonia's Estonian Mobile Telephone (EMT), a subsidiary of TeliaSonera, has announced that iPhone sales would start on that date.
It looks like Latvia's LMT and Lithuania's Omnitel will launch the newest iPhone at a later date. Apple (together with TeliaSonera) is calling the shots on this and may see tiny, mobile & IT savvy Estonia as the best place to get its feet wet in the Baltics.
The blogs and portals have been full of news about iPhone glitches, and this may be another reason for caution.
In Latvia, LMT might be considering launching an iPhone business package for small businesses using its own Tiešpasts (direct mail) push email platform and wants everything to work right. Perhaps it will equip some key LMT staffers with iPhones as a proof of concept -- if it works for 10 -20 of their guys and gals, it will work for my little company. But that is mere guesswork. The only date one hears for the iPhone 3G in Latvia is the rather subjective "soon", which means different timescales for different folks and situations.

An informal iPhone demo in Stockholm
I finally got to film an informal iPhone demo in Sweden, thanks to the manager of a Macoteket Apple dealership in Stockholm. Here it is...

Disappointing Apple :(
I tried to get permission to shoot a videoblog of an iPhone demo at the Apple Store in Chestnut Hill, Newton, MA, but it seems there is a nationwide policy against cameras in the stores. So there is no way we semi-pro videobloggers can show off the styuff we like. I was hoping to show this on my Latvian-language blog and to give something to TV24, the cable/internet TV operation that I work for. I even e-mailed Apple in Cupertino, their PR folks, but nothing. Thanks anyway to the nice guys at Chestnut Hill for pestering their manager until they got an answer.
