In our first video study of Macworld | iWorld 2012, we took a quick look at the seedy underbelly of the event. Now, we wonder about the public displays of peace, love and understanding that this “lifestyle event” has engendered. Drum lines? Public dances? At a tech show? Who can stop them? Who can save the world?

You may think Macworld | iWorld is all happiness and community and free logo-emblazoned foam balls, but that’s not the case. There’s a seedy underbelly to the biggest iFan event of the year, and this year, Appletell found itself in the middle of it. In this short series of videos, we’ll explore the side of Macworld that most people don’t see. The world of $65,000 speaker systems, bouncing women, and fancy appetizers.

Parrot’s AR.Drone has been one of our favorite oddities since it first attacked Bill Stiteler at Macworld 2010. In case you haven’t heard of it, the AR.Drone is a quadricopter that can be remotely controlled by your iPhone (and, soon, Android). There are games to play with it, or you can just fly it around. I knew it was going to be making an appearance at E3, but I didn’t know the developers had given it some new skills, as you’ll see in the video.

Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing is exactly what you’d expect—a kart racer that utilizes characters and settings from the SEGA universe (the cartoony ones, of course). In my demo, kart control was handled with the accelerometer; tilting left and right to turn. A large yellow button is used to accelerate, while a smaller red button is used to brake/reverse.

Day two of Macworld Expo 2011 has come and gone, but don’t think we haven’t noticed. In tonight’s roundup video, we discuss the lack of a keynote speaker, take a look at Navigon’s Design Car Kit, find out what a used 1st gen iPhone is worth, and head into the Black Forest to find a fairly cool iPhone clock.

Although not available yet, Jammit, “the ultimate play-along software,” is aiming to change the way students play and learn about music in their homes. Using nothing but an iPad and whatever musical instruments you might have laying around, users will be able to separate components of tracks and learn part by part.

Day one of Macworld 2011 has come and gone, and we’ve recorded a (fairly) quick video recap of what we found on the show floor and in the after-show parties. Topics of discussion include the move to Moscone West, iPad accessories, Freehands gloves, SRS Labs’s newly announced iWOW 3D, and a few other items worth discussing.

The problem with living in Minnesota and being an Apple user is winter. When the snow starts to fall the last thing you want to do is take your gloves off so you can use your touch screen to play a song, check Twitter, or send an email that you need a Saint Bernard to come get you. Fortunately Telefingers makes gloves that come with materials in the thumb, index, and middle finger that allow you to use your iOS device (and, presumably, other touch screens) without exposing your digits to the cold.

The point Intel’s Mooly Eden made again and again as he demonstrated the new 2nd Generation Intel Core processor (codenamed “Sandy Beach”) was that it had amazing applications for consumers. The chip, which integrates a graphics processor on the motherboard, was shown side-by-side competing with, and usually out erforming, modern graphics cards.

There it is! My brand new, one day early, iPhone 4. First off, this thing is dense. It feels like a really solid product in your hands. I don’t think it’s actually any heavier than the iPhone 3GS, but it seems like it is. This is a very good thing. The most obvious differences from the iPhone 3GS are that it’s thinner, flatter and skinnier. Not only is this thing new, it’s in shape! Looks like iPhone has been hitting the gym pretty hard since last year.
