Please give a warm welcome to our new writers
As you may know, quite a few weeks ago we advertised for additional writers for the site. We had a number of fantastic applications and we’d like to say thanks to everyone that applied. Yet again it was quite humbling to see all the kind words that were written about the site within the applications, so thanks again.
In the end we decided to take on three more new writers, this was for three reasons, 1. we couldn’t decide between them and 2. the more writers we have means the more posts we have and 3. Allan and Andy have both left our writing team to peruse other ventures, leaving space for three.
Hit the ‘read more’ for an introduction to the three new writers.…
Read MoreiPhonewzealand: More writers needed – closed
You may have noticed that the site has been pretty quiet on the post front just lately. Unfortunately Steve and I are extremely busy with our 9-to-5 jobs (as are Paul and Mak) and with everything happening in Christchurch at the moment it is likely to be like this for some time. We want to keep the site going and keep the site as fresh as possible and having stories on the front page that have been there a week or more is not something we want but is something that is becoming far more frequent.
So to try and alleviate some of the pressure we have decided to see if there are any of you that would like to write with us.
Now, the first thing to know is that unfortunately we can’t offer payment. We currently make just enough to pay for hosting so you will mainly be doing this for the love of writing, and it could be a great opportunity for somebody looking to simply gain some experience for a longer-term goal.
We are looking for enthusiastic and passionate iPhone, iPod touch or iPad users (to write for us you must own at least one of these products) to write news, reviews and interesting opinion pieces for us.
UPDATE: Thanks all – We have had a number of people contact us and we are going through them now. We’ll be in touch shortly if you applied.…
Read MoreGrab our new iPhone app and donate to the NZ Red Cross Earthquake Appeal
We have just launched our second iPhone app in the App Store, which provides feeds from our site and iPhone settings for every NZ carrier, among other things. We are charging for this app so that we can give something back to the people of Christchurch following Tuesday’s deadly quake. The App is priced at $2.59 until the end of March and all proceeds from our cut of the sales will go to the NZ Red Cross (30% will still go to Apple, which we cannot avoid). Why not download it now to give to the Canterbury Earthquake Appeal.
Remember you are not paying for the app itself, you are paying to donate to the NZ Red Cross.…
Read MoreIntroducing our iPhonewzealand: NZ Carrier Settings App
When Apple released iOS 4 and our bundles stopped working we needed a way for you (iPhone users) to get your settings onto your device easily so we created our Carrier Settings WebApp. This was great and provided a quick and easy way for you to get the settings for all the service providers here in New Zealand with some simple copying and pasting. The problem with the WebApp is that to access it you need an internet connection and without the settings you can’t do that…. catch 22. Continue reading to see details of our latest app: NZ Carrier Settings by iPnz (yes Apple made us do the iPnz thing…).…
Read MoreNew Releases: a heads-up with what’s new on the App Store
When we started the site last year we wanted to review as many New Zealand based apps as we could. Although we have tried our best to keep on top of reviewing and letting you know about new apps that are available on the App Store that are relevant to New Zealand or created by New Zealanders it has now become very difficult to keep up with due to the sheer numbers of awesome kiwi apps that are being added. Because of this we have created a new category on the site, ‘New Releases’. Continue reading to see how this will work.…
Read MoreHappy birthday to us: We’re one today!
It’s hard to believe that the site has been going for a whole year, but it’s true! This time last year, the iPhone 3GS had just been launched, the XT Network was all shiny and new, 2degrees were putting the final touches to their giant loggo, and we were explaining how to install our carrier bundles to a brand new audience. Indulge us, won’t you, as we take a trip down memory lane and pick out our highlights from the past year. If you’re feeling generous, you might even stop by in the comments! Read on!…
Read MoreiPhonewzealand NZ Essentials App has been updated
Just a quick heads-up to let you know our app, NZ Essentials, has been updated (v.1.0.5). The update brings iOS4 support so it now remembers the last screen you were in, handy if you use the web view a lot, and some bug and crash fixes.
Previously the first time you loaded the app the NZ Spotlight section would freeze and the app would crash. This has now been resolved and the app no longer crashes.

As you may know, two weeks ago we advertised for additional writers for the site. I would like to say a big thank you to all that applied.
