Gold for "The iPhone Naysayers"

Another award for The Industry Standard -- a gold "tabbie" (TABPI is an organization representing trade magazines) for an online feature that we put together last year on the 1st anniversary of the iPhone, called "The iPhone Naysayers." Believe it or not, a lot of people were skeptical of the iPhone when Apple first announced it. We thought it would be interesting to follow up with some of doubters.

Readers and a few other blogs (such as Cult of Mac) really enjoyed "The iPhone Naysayers," and so did the TABPI judges. One had this to say:

"Proves that, whether in print or online, excellent journalism begins with an excellent concept. Add solid reporting, links to additional information within the article, and the opportunity for readers/visitors to comment, and you're making the best use of the Internet's unique information-dissemination capabilities. Awesome."

Congratulations to writer Jake Widman and the small production team for putting the piece together. Thanks also the subjects who responded to our interview requests.
