Daniel - Great post!!  Way to push on such an important issue.  That last 10:00 minute video was really good.  This is really good post for entrepreneurs that are just starting out.  

Jazz - you have a GREAT product.  It looks beautiful and I think lots of people would be excited to walk into their store wearing the hat.  Start getting that validation sooner than later, you'll save a lot of time and ultimately end up with a better product.

Nice post Daniel.  Hope you're having a good time out there!

Another app to look at is Viber App.  It's similar to Skype where both parties need the iPhone app but works exceptionally well.  We use it to talk to family in Venezuela.

Great post Daniel!  I agree with most things in the post with this exception:

"Oftentimes this process can take a startup 12 to 24 months." - I think thats waaaaay too long.  I feel like we were lucky in this regard because you did such a great job fundraising  =)  

Other startsup aren't so lucky.

This post here has another good review for using the 20mm lens as a portrait lens: http://m43photo.blogspot.com/2010/09/using-lumix-20mm-as-portrait-lens.html

You can see that there is some distortion at close ranges from the subject.  Although we wont be doing portrait shots 100% of the time my wife she really wants a lens that takes a really good shot without having to think about her distance at all.

So, we actually bought both setups and wil be returning 1 of them.  I'll let you know how it goes.

I also found this next lens which is in-between the lens we were talking about in both price and f-stop rating: http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-14mm-2-5-Aspherical-Interchangeable/dp/B0043VE29C/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1354144905&sr=8-2&keywords=panasonic+pancake+lens

Thats 14mm with a 2.5f rating and costs $267.  What do you think of that one?
