TUAW Macworld Video: Griffin Technology
Although I'm the veteran of about a dozen Macworld Expos, this is the first time I've attended as a member of the media instead of as "just" a showgoer. Let's face it; the level of attention that you get from companies is a lot greater when you're writing or shooting video about a company's products than when you're one of tens of thousands of people cruising past a booth.Still, I was unprepared for the gracious reception that I received at Griffin Technology when I visited to see what new products were released from the Apple peripheral manufacturer. Griffin has been making innovative products for the Apple community since 1992, and 2009 is no exception. The company has entered the Bluetooth headset market with the SmartTalk Bluetooth (featuring human voice prompting), pointed the way towards total control of FM radio with the Navigate with iFM, and shown that you don't need power to get sound amplification with the AirCurve acoustic amplifier.
Join me on a tour of Griffin's new and recent products with Jackie Ballinger from Griffin. This video report is part of our continuing and exhaustive coverage of Macworld Expo 2009.

Very attractive, very knowledgeable and an effective communicator in that extremely noisy environment. Bonus!
Watching again to see what the new products were. Something about a headset, plastic amplifier and a car cradle with remote strapped to the steering wheel. Wait, I actually remembered the products as well. I'm so confused.
These videos are the best coverage of MacWorld. Thank you.

The bluetooth headset looks dreadful, other than that a lot of interesting stuff.
What, no iPhone 3G-compatible version of the Amplifi?

Of course you're going to get a lovely reception with a rep as cute as Jackie assigned to PR!
I like the design of most Griffin products, maybe partly cause Griffin is my last name!
Hey, wonder if I can steal their cool logo...
Seriously? Please tell us you at least got her phone number after this obsequiousness.
