360iDev – WWDC super discounts, USB Drives, and more
y other goal in being around WWDC is to offer our special WWDC pricing. We figure you’ve paid $1600 to attend WWDC, why not cut you a break. A break in the form of $200 off the ‘first 100′ price of 360|iDev. I mean really, who can pass up $299 for a 4 day event with the best and brightest of the iPhone community? This was the second year we sold super discounted tickets to WWDC attendees, and we sold 2x as many. That’s a plus on a lot of levels!
The parties at WWDC are always a blast, and I met a ton of awesome peeps! Finally got to meet @grouchoduke! which was nice! They give me a chance to hang out, meet folks, give out cards… you see the moo cards around? Those had 15% off discount codes on them, hope you picked one up! It was a testament to the iPhone developer community that WWDC Sold out in 8 days, and was entirely iPhone focused. It’s great to see the community so huge, and getting so much love!
The upside of not being an attendee of WWDC, sleeping in :) Sorry guys, but after closing bars, it’s nice to not be up by 8-9am :)
The other thing we do at WWDC is the scavenger hunt. This was the second year we’ve done it, and judging by the interest, a HUGE success. Last year the drives sat in their hiding places for a good while, while this year, they were all gone within 30 minutes of being hidden. Congrats to those 5 folks! They all got a free pass to 360|iDev, and a bunch of awesome promo codes from some incredible developers!
360idev – USB Hunt at WWDC is a go!
At the time of this writing Drive 3 is out and about. More will be following today and tomorrow.
They’ll be placed all around (maybe inside?) Moscone. I’ll tweet clues and pictures of their locations.
Special Thanks to Owen Goss, Nathan Eror, Shane Crawford, Chris Adamson, Yadong Liu, Cory Smith, and Saul Mora for the promo codes to some of their awesome apps, and games.
Each drive has a unique code for a free pass to 360|iDev Austin, this November, in addition to 8 promo codes from the awesome developers I mentioned!
This is a great chance for you to get some great apps, and a free pass to the best iPhone Developer conference around.
Can’t find the drives? Not at WWDC? Register now, before the early 100 tickets sell out. They’re already selling fast!
360|iDev – Announcing 360|iDev Austin!
Talk about cutting it close! If you were at WWDC last year you might recall us making a lot of noise about 360|iDev Denver. Well I’m glad to announce the we’ve committed to a hotel and a set of dates, and we’re ready to go!! Austin TX. The week of November 8th! (I’ll be posting [...]
360idev – Hang out/recharge during WWDC
I’ll be in San Francisco the week of WWDC with a room at the Marriott.
This year I won’t be attending the conference, but will be still doing the USB drive Scavenger hunt.
I’ll also be making my room available during the day for anyone that wants to hang out, take a break from WWDC, grab a red bull or granola bar, etc. Hopefully this is useful for the folks who’s hotels aren’t as close to Moscone. Maybe you want to drop your bag off for a little while, etc.
Think of it as a small hospitality suite across the street from WWDC.
I’ll post some more details, but wanted to get the word out, that my door would be open.
The USB drive scavenger hunt is gonna be fun. Last year we had 8 drives, and all but one were found. Each drive has a free pass to the next 360|iDev, as well as tons of promo codes for apps. They’ll be hidden around Moscone center, during the week, and I’ll be tweeting clues and pictures about the locations.
Also, we’ll be selling super early bird, half off tickets to the next 360|iDev, so if you’re thinking of going, this is a great way to make sure you get the best price!
See you in San Francisco!

More to be announced soon!
360iDev – Post WWDC Recovery
Tom and I left the keynote just before the iPhone 3G S was revealed to take in the Symbian Hackathon. Symbian is really working to get more developers exposed to the platform which is great. Giving away free 5800′s is a huge move in the right direction. Developers aren’t likely to strike out into a new platform, for no reason, with no way to actually play with their code. Having a free phone to test with, reduces many barriers to adoption. It’s definitely gutsy to throw an event in enemy territory, but Symbian pulled it off. The hackathon had a good turnout, and a few folks even wrote some code onsite and played with it, experiencing the deployment to a Symbian device, they did a good job.
360iDev USB drive hunt! Win an iPod Touch!
We’ve got 7 2gb USB drives left over from 360|iDev San Jose. They’re packed with all the presentations and such from that show (so you can see what you missed ;D ) but we’re also adding something even more awesome. Discounts and promo codes.
Each drive will have a unique, single use discount code for 50% 1 registration to 360|iDev in September.
