Comedian, writer and film maker, Mark Malkoff, recently decided to spend some time testing how much he could get away with at the Apple Store.
His Apple Store Challenge video is hilarious. We love how Apple’s staff respond to his unique requests. Tell Mark what you thought on Twitter.
Did you spot our products in there too? We love a good cameo.
Did you hear the news? iPhone 4 launched last week. Just kidding, of course you heard the news!
We loved this video from CNET UK by Luke Westaway (take note of the Chilewich Gravel case in the AirCurve at 4:10! w00t!).
We also made our own video from the Apple Store in Nashville…
We announced a little giveaway for one lucky winner to win a $500 Apple Store gift card. Today is the day that we randomly select the winner.
Watch the video to the end to see if you won. CONGRATS!
Didn’t win? Don’t get down.
We do many great giveaways and discounts, often. Your best bet is to follow us on Twitter, like us on Facebook and subscribe to our email newsletter.

Last week the UK’s Daily Express contained stories of elated customers leaving the Apple Store with iPad in hand. iPad is finally available internationally!
According to student, Jake Lee, someone even offered to pay him £2,000 to take his place in line.
Lee was quoted in the London Evening Standard about being prepared to spend the night at the door of the Apple Store.
“I’ve been waiting for this for months, and I just couldn’t wait any longer,” he said. “It’s going to be a long night, but we’re planning on ordering pizza if they’ll deliver, so it should be fun. I’m really looking forward to getting an iPad, I really love my iPod and have already spent over £100 on films and TV shows ready to download and watch.”
You can bet Griffin was there to be sure Lee didn’t leave without some Griffin goodies.

We’ve been getting great feedback from you on our kid-friendly, volume-limiting headphones for kids, MyPhones. Here’s a few examples:
Road tested on my 12yr old daughter, a victim to fashion as all youngsters seem to be these days, she was instantly taken with them and has been using them almost constantly since they arrived. Despite knowing these have a safety design she thought them very trendy and seems happy to be seen using them, indeed a demo at school had her friends clamouring for a pair. So we can safely call them an instant hit. - wired4iphone.com
MyPhones give parents confidence that their children are enjoying audio safely and responsibly. - Nikki Moore of Girl Geek Chic.
Really nice idea, really well executed. – Dan Sung of Pocket-lint.com. Dan was even kind enough to include a very cute picture of his daughter sporting MyPhones.
Speaking of cute kids using MyPhones, our friend Carrie at Bilingualintheboonies.com who helped inspire the product, wrote a great post and shared a video of her daughter singing along with her MyPhones. Carrie wrote:
So, Maria got to try out her new headphones during our Thanksgiving week flight. She loved them. I loved them. Because they limit the sound to a safe 85 decibles, I didn’t have to worry — or argue with her — about the noise level. They fit her head, unlike the cheap, adult ones we have used — the same ones Web saw — which slip off her ears and make it tough for her to wear them comfortably.
Have you checked out MyPhones yet? They make the perfect gift for your young loved ones, and they are available now at your local Apple Store and Target.
Here’s a recap video from the big iPhone 3GS Day in Nashville last Friday. We hope you had as much fun as we did.
