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?

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.

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

Not as far as I know - but they went up from original iPhone to 3G. Only by $10 a month, I think, but because we cunningly bought other phones and then transferred to iPhones, we have a cheaper plan than the cheapest original deal (again by $10/month each). So upgrading would cost us $200 each/phone, and $20/month each on the contract. Which adds up a bit.

they're touting better low-light xp

O2 on Twitter: The iPhone 3GS 16Gb will cost up to £184.98 depending on which tariff you take - the 32Gb up to £274.23. The highest prices are on the 18month £29.38 and £34.26 tariffs - full details will be on the site soon

To tether you need an Internet Tethering Bolt On: 3Gb for £14.68/month, 10Gb for £29.36/month. Both include The Cloud's Wi-Fi.

Oh when will this stupid O2 exclusivity deal end?

Tethering Bolt On: 3Gb for £14.68/month

What in the Jesus fucking Christ.

I take it u still can't take iphones out of the store w/contracting these days?

w/out contracting*

w/out contracting what?

you can buy pay-as-you-go ones from Apple Stores, but they cost a chunk more.

$1=£1 for the 3GS pricing, looks like.

when will they be released from ATT?

d/l'ed Safari 4, tabs back on the bottom of the status bar in default.

What does tethering mean? Will my phone run away if I don't pay for tethering? Is it like a restraining bolt?

"These aren't the Palm Pres you're looking for."

So I'm now really torn on my next mac. 15", 13" or Air, I'm getting sick of lugging 15" around and I have a 20" external now anyways. 13" is certainly no slouch and the Air with SSD finally looks like a good deal.

Keith: You can use yr iPhone's data connection from yr Mac. Makes it a 3G modem, basically.

New Safari ugly compared to beta with tabs debug setting. Shame.

Air is really nice, but screen quality bugs me. Sounds like the MBPs finally have a nice one. I'd be likely to plump for the 13" as a good compromise.

But I've got boradband! Only joking by the way, I figured tethering out. Just wanted to make a shit joke.

I came here to say I'm using the new safari and tabs look like they always have. Or at least, are in the same place. yeah, it's a bit uglier. Faster, but it's also newly installed, so who knows. Remains to be seen if I'll ever use "top sites". Probably not. Though it'll make me feel like Veidt in Watchmen.

So I can move the tabs above like in the beta?

The new low-end Mac Book Pro is pretty exciting.

yeah, i've got an old-style MBP that i lug to school sometimes, and it's a pain. would rather have a souped up 13" and use an external monitor at home. tho, if i get an iphone, about 80% of what i use my laptop for at school is taken care of

lol Keith, I wanted to make that exact same joke

"top sites" is perfect for your batcave fantasies

lol xxp

Actually, the tabs in the beta annoyed me lots, so I didn't upgrade when I bought a new computer... It was difficult moving the window and not accidentally minimising it, I found. So I'm kind of glad if they've moved back to where they were.
