Our little iPhone Experiment is moving forward, and we will start shipping devices later this week. In the meantime, we looked for a good alternative device that could be offered to participants who already own an iPhone. We finally made up our mind, and I am pleased to announce today that our choice went to the fantastic Sony PlayStation 3. Beside being the ultimate gaming machine, the PS3 can also run Linux, which means that you can use the standard Firefox web browser with it, making it a lean and mean Office 2.0 device for the living room. Thanks to an introduction made by our good friends from Jive Software, we established a partnership with Sony Computer Entertainment America and will offer a PlayStation 3 60GB to any participant who already owns an iPhone. Upgrades to the 80GB model will be offered for $115 ($100 + taxes + PayPal fees), and devices will be shipped directly to participants before the event.
