New Apple Lust Objects

11:36 am Once at the lot to pickup your car, you can tap the horn icon and the actual car horn will honk so you can easily find it. The car can be unlocked this way too.
11:35 am The Zipcar app lets you immediately find and reserve a nearby Zipcar. With the iPhone OS 3.0 MapKit, the app embeds a user-friendly Google map.

BADASS

srsly

stuff like this could kill the company i used to work for in Chicago

(a local, non-profit carshare)

Apple gets massive keynote coverage because it usually does new stuff at them. If it keeps doing shit like this, they're going to lsoe that huge PR advantage.

man i have to get this iphone app that controls my keytar

the audio worked perfectly during snoozeville, *now* it dies.

here we go

S stands for speed.

Maybe like the OSs being named after big cats they're going to start naming the phones after drugs.

lol palm suxx0r

this stream is surreal. "it's the phone" ... "open GL with" ... "faster" ... "faster". "times faster" "faster"

iPhone RU-486

Happy slapping enabled.

new iPhone CP - the CP stands for Copy and Paste

Play songs by the brotherhood of man

never seen the appeal of voice control shit. Useless in Google search app, equally for dialling people.

dunno what it's like on the iphone, but my mom lives and dies by voice control----she's got macular degeneration, and can't dial for shit

yeh, true, for accessibility I can see the value

macbookular degeneration

no, her macbook works fine

CALL MAX REAX

DELETE USER MAX FROM CONTACTS PLEASE IPHONE THANKS

Voice dialling or any sort of voice control is utterly useless if you're Scottish.

it would be good if you could stand next to someone on the bus and say "iphone, turn off" and it stops their music.

I used to work with a woman who insisted on using the voice dialing app on her Blackberry. It was very funny watching spend 6 minutes trying to voice dial someone via a bluetooth headset when she could have taken the phone out of her purse and manually dialed in 45 seconds.

is that stream working for anyone?

LOCATE IPHONE

IPHONE IN PRODUCE AISLE AT LOL FOODS

CALL CUTTY HORSE

Ordering fried food works fine, though. xxxxx-post

Leo Laporte is playing it at live.twit.tv

COMPOSE TEXT MESSAGE TO CUTTY HORSE

LOL

Prices seem good to go for me. I just want them to announce *when.*

June 19th (nb date may not apply in rest of world)

jun 19 for US, later for rest of us.

Isn't it the 19th for us?

As in UK.

Is it any good? I can't hear anything.

week later for "another six countries" am guessing that's us

Stream hasn't stopped for me, stet.

oh no, wait, US, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, UK.

MRumors says 19th for UK.

Not sure if there's enough to make me upgrade from first gen phone, given the difference in monthly charges.

I was just reading this from macrumours:

12:01 pm In the US, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, UK. A week later, 6 more countries. Many more to come this summer
12:01 pm The iPhone 3GS will be available on June 19th.

Have the monthly charges gone up? The f****

my 1g is buggered, but the much better camera and more speed would've got me to update anyway

yeegh, wait two weeks and pay $100 more, or get one now

hmmm

Daring Fireball OTM, back in May:

So if I were a betting man, here’s how I’d handicap expectations for the WWDC keynote:

Would Wager Heavily Upon: A next-generation iPhone to be released in July, with roughly double the CPU horsepower and an improved video-capable camera, with 16 and 32 GB storage capacities.

Would Wager a Small Amount Upon: New iPhone prices at $199/299 for 16/32 GB; 256 MB RAM on new iPhones; existing stock of current iPhone 3Gs sold at a discount through Apple’s web site. (Also, in Mac news, I’d bet a small amount on a refresh to Apple’s notebook lineup, with a branding change where the “MacBook Pro” designation is used for all aluminum models,1 and just plain non-Pro “MacBook” is used for plastic models.)

Would Wager a Sandwich Upon: Improved battery life for the new iPhone, despite the beefier CPU.

Would Wager Heavily Against: Anything at all related to the in-the-works tablet thingmajig. Not going to happen at WWDC.

Would Not Wager Upon, But, Well, I’ve Heard Things: An “iPhone Mini”, with hardware roughly three-fourths the height and width of existing iPhones. I expect to see something along these lines sooner than later, but I do not believe it’s going to debut this July alongside the new flagship iPhones.

iPhone camera still basically useless unless they give it some kind of light source. Hello, MMS + phone cams = embarrassing your drunk friends.
