I just updated our About page to include all of our writers and their Twitter accounts…check it out!

We are totally excited to add Justin (yes, another Justin) to the team! During the day, Justin spends his time as a professional photographer…seriously, how cool is that! He attended Des Moines Area Community College for one year before transferring to Hallmark Institute of Photography in Turner Falls, MA where he received a certificate of completion. Justin likes to spend his spare time playing guitar, shooting pics, playing Xbox and (of course) mastering his iPhone. Speaking of which, Justin stood in line for an hour and half on July 11, 2008 in order to purchase his black 8GB iPhone 3G.

When I asked Justin what his favorite feature of his iPhone was, this is the answer I got, “That’s a tough one… I like having all the info I could need literally at my finger tips and if not? ‘there’s an app for that.’ (side note – that totally made me laugh when I read it!). I like the dialog bubbles of the SMS app, it’s nice to be able to see the whole conversation without having to go through several pages to get there.” And, when I asked Justin what his favorite iPhone app was, this is what I got, “Actually, Pandora is quickly becoming my favorite app! I used to use my 80GB iPod classic at work but just recently I started using Pandora, it’s great to be able to listen to music that I like and also be introduced to new music at the same time… and thanks to Doug and jailbreaking I can listen to Pandora in the background while I respond to texts and update my Twitter :) ”

Welcome to the team Justin…we are totally psyched to have you. Justin’s screen name will be JMCato (since we already have another Justin!). You can also catch him on twitter as JMCato.

He replaced the previous App Store info with more specific topics (such as Themes and Games). Personally, I like it better than the App Store info…take a look at it and let me know what you think.

Well, we are excited to add yet another member to the team. Usually I write a little intro paragraph about new writers but, I thought I would try a different format this time around…Q&A! So, here we go…lets learn a little bit about Justin.

What do you during the day?
I work at an 8-9th grade middle school as a phys. ed and drumline instructor.

Where do you go to school and what for?
I graduated from a Bible college in Iowa and am now working on my master’s degree online from a seminary in Pennsylvania. I want to be a pastor when I grow up!

What are some of your hobbies?
I love music, mountain biking, and my mac.

Where/when/how did you get your iPhone?
I actually got my iPhone from a guy on craigslist. I have had a blackberry for 18 months and was looking for an option to reduce my monthly bill. I wanted something that would give me productivity at a lower price yet would still be fun. So I picked up a 1st gen iPhone. I didn’t have plans to activate it, just jailbreak it.

What is your favorite thing about your iPhone (app or whatever)
I love how it is user friendly. Most people, including kids, can sit down and figure it out in a matter of minutes. I have friends that have had their BlackBerries for years and still have no idea how it works. The keeper for me with the iPhone though was the app from Remember the Milk. I absolutely love that app!

Any other info for us?
I am on twitter: @drumdog00
Personal website: http://www.justinvanrheenen.com

We are super excited to have Justin as part of the team. As he mentioned, he has a jailbroken (and fake activated) 1st gen iPhone…so we look forward to seeing both Cydia and App Store reviews from him! Welcome to the AppleiPhoneSchool team Justin!

Welcome to the new web site design! I know…we have been talking about a new design for a long time now but, we have been working hard on it the last few weeks and it is finally ready for launch (at least as far as we can tell! :) ). We hope you enjoy the new design and some of the new features that it brings. Our goal was to create a site that is constantly changing and up-dating thus making it more interactive. If you are really scared…just select the Blog option on the top menu bar and it might feel a little more comfortable! :) Let us know in the comment what you think.

We are very excited to be adding David to the team! By day, David is a High School Chemistry teacher…go Chemistry!! :) By night, he is a lover of all gadgets but is partial to his iPhone 3G (which he stood in line for on that wonderful July day). He is an experienced blogger, check out his blog, and that combined with the love for his iPhone has led him to become a part of our writing team. David does bring a new perspective to the table as he has a stock (unjailbroke) iPhone 3G. Look forward to reading his reviews of App Store apps and iPhone accessories.

We were inspired by the iPhone compatible version of thewiicast.com. We have made a few changes to the theme making it a little more custom. You will continue to see changes as we finish customizing it. One of the features that I personally like is the ability to quickly see all the articles. You can then tap the arrow to get a snippet of the article and the ability to read the entire article. We will be changing it so that when you tap the arrow you will see the entire article, keep an eye out for that! Below is a list of a few more great features this theme offers! Enjoy!

New Features:
Search option
Menu option
Ability to view full site
Comments badge
Easily Email articles
Easily Bookmark articles
Links to previous and next articles

Note: We are still trying to work out a few kinks like, selecting an image to enlarge it.
