First look at the Demo Pavilion

Some shots from the exhibit area, after the morning session…first a somewhat wide shot. Click on any to make them bigger.

The second one is Rafe Needleman of CNet interviewing the CEO of iGuitar.

Krugle’s booth was very busy, with John Mitchell, Steve Larsen, and Don Thorson giving lots of demos, including to Dan Farber of Ziff Davis just before I showed up.

The offbeat kickoff presentation first thing this morning was a big hit: the MooBella customized ice cream vending machine. Very cool (so to speak).

And below is the CEO of GarageBand.com, Ali Partovi,
just before he gave me a demo. (This is the company that existed before Apple starting using the name, and actually licensed it it to them to use! Which has been some of their best advertising, I guess.) They’re doing lots of interesting things related to helping people organize their iPod music, discover new music, and (coming soon) giving them new ways to quickly share it. They have a cool instant podcasting tool, too, called Gcast.
