A catch phrase will go here soon.

Mac Mini review contest on fire!

3/9/2005

I’m sooooo psyched by the quality of the reviews over at the Mac Mini contest over at Enadget.

We have over 15 great reviews filled with insights and honesty. I’m learning a lot from these reviews, including the fact that the video card sucks for doing video. The main reason I was going to buy a Mac Mini was to cut HD video (iMovie cuts HD), but after reading these I think I’ll wait for version 2.

Two folks included images, but no video yet hmmmm.

Couple of things I think would be amazing:

1. A podcast/Mp3 of the review.
2. Infographics of the product/scores.
3. a video/slideshow of the review

I’m averaging the reviews below. It is going to take me a little bit of time to get everyone listed below, but I’ll keep updating this post as we go. Matt and John: I think you left out some ratings feel free to re-post your review if you like!

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.
