The forums over on DP Review are going hot and heavy. Why? The Nikon D200 is one hot animal. B&H Photo sold out of their shipment in an hour or so yesterday. Now, this could have caused an international incident (and, has) but I’ve been watching and I’m real impressed with how Henry Posner of B&H Photo-Video, Inc. has been handling complaints in the forum. How did I know about this? An executive at Factiva was just talking to me about how impressive this was to him and how Henry’s interactions are winning him friends and new customers.
What’s harder to get than an Xbox or an iPod? Nikon D200

Literally. He had the first ride in the first Tesla. Siri was launched in his house. He's been the first to share all sorts of technologies and companies with you, from Flipboard to Pandora to Instagram. Today he's focusing on mixed reality, AKA "next-generation augmented reality" which will include a new user interface for EVERYTHING in your life (IoT, Smart Cities, driverless cars, robots, drones, etc). That's based on his view thanks to his past experience as futurist at Rackspace. Best place to find Scoble? On his Facebook profile at https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble He has been a technology blogger since 2000, was one of five people who built Microsoft's Channel 9 video blog/community, worked at Fast Company Magazine running its TV efforts, and has been part of technology media businesses since 1993. ++++++++ SPEAKER PITCH: Apple and Facebook now have revealed their Augmented Reality strategies, which means your business needs one too. Rely on Robert Scoble, the world's top authority on AR, to bring to your conference what businesses should do next. SPEECH ABSTRACT #1: TITLE: The Fourth Transformation: What's next in mixed reality (AR and AI) and the future of technology? Here's an example of this talk at Leade.rs in Paris in April, 2017: https://youtu.be/52_0JshgjXI Why "the Fourth Transformation?" Soon we will have phones and glasses that do full on augmented reality. Everything you look at will potentially be augmented. This world is coming in late 2017 with a new iPhone from Apple, amongst other products. Microsoft is betting everything on its HoloLens glasses that do mixed reality and the industry is spending many billions of dollars in R&D and funding new companies like Magic Leap. This future will be the user interface for IoT, Smart Cities, autonomous cars, robots, drones, and your TV. This is a big deal and Robert will take you through what mixed reality is and how it will change every business. Learn more about Robert's speaking style and contact his agent at http://odemanagement.com/robert-scoble/Robert-Scoble.html ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #2: "The Next Two Clicks of Moore's Law." Over the next four years, or two clicks of Moore's Law, a ton about our technology world will change. Scoble will bring you the best from his travels visiting R&D labs, startups, and innovators around the world. He views the world through his rose-colored-mixed-reality glasses, which will be the new user interface for self driving cars, Smart Cities, IoT, and many other things in our world. He'll send you off with some lessons for companies both large and small. ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #3: "Personalized Meaning: What is Augmented Reality For?" As we enter a far more technological world where even cars drive themselves, I predict we'll see a blowback toward the analog, more authentic world. What role does augmented reality play in both worlds? Get Scoble's insight into where augmented reality is going, see tons of real-world demos, and understand what he means by 'personalized meaning.'

I have been calling B&H every hour, on the hour since the 15th. Every day I got “they aren’t in yet”. On Sunday, I got told “they are in the building, but not in our system yet”.
I started calling every 20 minutes.
Normally, they answered immediately, and told me no. Suddenly at around 4:00 CST, I was on hold for 15 minutes. I knew immediately they were in.
I finally got through, worries the whole time my phone would cut out. But I ordered one. I have been charged, and I have a UPS tracking number, so I assume I am all good. But I will let you all know!

Henry and B&H have stood head and shoulders above the rest of the online camera retailers for a while now. It’s not even close. I’m not active their anymore, but at the photo.net forums I was impressed with the way he interacted with customers and handled issues he saw.
