**UPDATE**
App is currently in the app store!! Check it out! iConvention - Support a local seattle app developer
Here is the iTunes link: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iconvention/id389310230?mt=8
Also there is a twitter contest to get a free copy of the app! The idea is to expose as many pax goers to the apps existence as possible Use the #iConvention hash tag and if you are one of the first 30 people to do it - I will contact you personally and give you a free code!! =D
Hi!
My friend has convinced me to make an iPhone/iPod Touch app to assist with your PAX Experience. So I went ahead and made this convention-tracker app (its details are listed below) which is technically going to be useable for any of the major cons (not just PAX). If you are interested or would like to see an update in the near future just let me know and I will try my best to add them in. I submitted it to the app store last night so it should be available 1 or 2 days before PAX.
Feature List
1. Select from a list of common conventions which one you are currently "attending"
2. Once selected, the app will download the entire package file (map, events (+locations/times), and twitter feeds) for offline viewing.
3. Browse all of the events
3. Select events you wish to attend
4. View all of the events you have scheduled.
5. Look at the convention map (offline, for your convenience!)
6. View the top 20 twitter news comments.
Here are some screenshots, the app is named iConvention.

I know something like this exists for android: thought I would bring the love to iPhone!

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one or the few.

Yeah I just submitted it last night. Should be available 1 day before PAX. (cutting it close, I know!)
@ElmoFuntz
I have it setup to show the "Expo Hall Map". The only issue is that it shows in portrait mode which is harder to navigate. I didn't have enough time to fix the orientation issue =(

Sorry mate, the app is not available for iPad. I tried out my current version on the iPad using the emulator and it looked terrible Dx. If iConvention does moderately well I shall definitely be porting it over though!
~Spock
That would be so winning
You should download the app "good reader" which is an amazing .PDF reader, then you can just download the exhibit hall map, and the 2 schedules. It's not as slick as having a dedicated app, but it will amazingly handy.
The app is unfortunately 99 cents (many sadfaces). The reason I am charging for it is because if this proves successful - the app will be usable for more than just pax. Any major convention. And that will take a lot of continuous time and effort on my part so please forgive me Dx
If people are displeased with this deal I may try to see about giving some of you nice folks a free copy! Let me think about how I can do this non-judgmentally haha.
@ninja-hq
Thank you kindly! And yes, you are exactly right - peruse the list, add to schedule, and view your personal schedule separately.
@artrulz
no problem!
~Spock
99c is more than fine for this, I'm down.
Already done! :P

I'm next to positive that uses HTML5 and Javascript for the apps, and that they REQUIRE a network connection. For something like PAX (or Comicon, Sakura con, etc) you really want guaranteed offline access.
Not to mention those of us with a limited data plan (200MB, say) or none at all (iPod Touch) that would greatly prefer little to no network traffic.
The only problem is that my app is largely meant to be for offline-use and if I go through that OpenAppMrkt the potentially destroyed bandwidth at PAX may not allow my app to run at optimum perf. But I will look into doing that anyway as a backup strategy.
Thanks for the link

or the official?

I never finish anyth
Yeah it is really unfortunate and I am sorry I couldn't get this out before then. I started making it just a few days because the "event horizon" deadline. Since it takes 7 days to approve an app through the app store there really is no way I can speed this up. The file size is not that large so hopefully you will be able to download it in time Dx.
@mentok1982
I will change the title once the app is approved
@millislim
Yeah the app won't be released until thursday.
@zilpep
It turns out that solution won't work because the app must be used offline.
~Spock
Unfortunately I noticed. T_T - competition is no fun! I am going to be releasing a layout update but it will not take effect in time. I hope to offer just as many features as they do though
~Spock
Wow. Thanks!
Its for free for now - please please submit a review on itunes. That would help me out a LOT! Also - new interface update coming in a few days. Not in time for PAX 2010 but definitely for future conventions!
