Maybe you have heard that the BatchBook App for iPhone was released last week? Well, we are super excited about it! By the looks of things, our customers are too! To celebrate the App launch we are having a contest. The winner receives a $300 gift card to the Apple Store, where they can purchase their very own iPhone 4, plus a custom “Work to Go” skin created by BatchBook customers Smirkabout AND a Free for Life BatchBook account! Four runners up will receive custom skins and other cool prizes.
It’s easy to enter! Just take a picture of a cool place that you work on-the-go. Then submit the picture to our “Work to Go” Flickr group pool and fill out the form on our contest page. That’s it!

Longtime BatchBlue customer and friend AJ Leon has embarked on a 45 Day trip criss-crossing the United States and Canada. Calling it the Rise of the Cubicle Farmer, he and his colleagues at The LaC Project will be traveling nearly 12,000 miles through 35 cities “documenting the changing landscape of the idea of “work” among entrepreneurs, small business people, and progressive corporate types.”
They’ll be stopping and chatting along the way with small business owners, entrepreneurs, co-workers, workshifters and some of the companies, like BatchBlue, that help make small businesses run. They want to capture and document these stories in the hopes that they’ll be able to educate others about “defining their work as something they do instead of some place that they sit.”
As members of The Small Business Web, BatchBlue is always looking at innovative ways for our customers to connect to other small businesses, and we’re excited about supporting this initiative and look forward to seeing the dispatches from the road. We’re also super excited that AJ and crew will be using our new iPhone app to capture the names and faces of the folks they meet along the way.
Be sure to follow their route. And if you’re interested in having them come to your town? Request a stop!

Today is an exciting day for us here at BatchBlue: we’re pleased to announce the official launch of our very own iPhone app for BatchBook. Ever since we first got our hands on the original version of the iPhone (way back in 2007!) we’ve wanted to get BatchBook its own spot in the App store. And now we’re there, free and available for our BatchBook users!
We went through a couple different iterations on the app but ultimately are glad we took some extra time to make sure we produced a solid first version.
Lets get to the features of version 1.0 (to see it in action, check out our fun iPhone commercial shot by two local kid filmmakers):

As you may have heard, we’re hard at work developing an iphone app for BatchBook. This is something we’re very excited about and in preparation for the big event, we’ve asked two local filmmakers to help us get the word out.
Meet Ethan and Dylan, eight-year old twins with a passion for all things movie-related. The boys, sons of BatchBook customer and BatchBlue friend Anisa Raoof from kidoinfo.com, write about movies as Flick and Flack on their blog FlickFlackMovieTalk.com. They also recently completed a week of film camp at the very cool Kid’s Eye Summer Filmmaking Camp, and their directorial debut (complete with a walk down the red carpet!) screened this past weekend at the University of Rhode Island.
We’re proud to support these local, up and coming filmmakers and look forward to seeing what they come up with to showcase the awesomeness that will be the BatchBook iphone app.
In the meantime, we’re pleased to introduce you to Flick & Flack as they enjoy lunch from Mad Ernie’s Cafe in lovely Wayland Square!
