I'm getting more and more curious how iOS 5 will turn out. I dunno if these enhancements will make it in time for summer, but I'm imagining centralized voice control for doing everyday tasks, a la Siri.
"Is it going to rain tonight?"
"How is traffic? Find another route"
"Book me a table for 2 at 7 tonight"
"What movies are showing tonight?"
These sorts of things should be accessible, and actionable, from the Voice Control interface. Apple did just add 20 new spoken languages to OS X :rolleyes: Perhaps it will be accessible as an API to third party developers. This would really change the way I use my phone, especially while on the road.
This would be cool if you didn't have to hold in the home button. What I mean is, if I'm already holding the phone, then holding in the home button, then speaking the command- I could have just launched the weather app in that amount of time. I want to be able to have the phone sitting on my desk while I'm getting ready for work and shout commands at it from across the room. A little too star-trek, I know, but that's the only time I think I'd ever use a voice command. And obviously, while driving.

I must admit that the sit-in version did give that in-the-X-Wing-cockpit feeling. My favorite sit-in, though, was Omega Race.
By the way, InuNacho, yes, the original sounds for Yar's Revenge left a lot to be desired. However, Yar's Revenge was IMHO the best original (i.e. not adapted from an arcade version) Atari 2600 sci-fi game in terms of gameplay.
...Debate, anyone?
Actually I was referring to the iPad version of the game not the 2600 classic.
Unfortunately I've only seen footage for two of the 2600 games, Yar's Revenge and Breakout and both of them sound like they have some emulation problems.
What someone should do is create some kind of DB-9 to 30 pin adaptor doohickey so that you can plug in old controllers and stuff into your Touch/Pad.

Can any cell phone capable of connecting to the web be used as a Bluetooth modem with an iPad that's been jail broke?
I'm using my Sprint Samsung M610 phone as a modem with my MacBook. Was wondering if it can be done with an iPad.

I think the keynote was a bust. Waaaaaaaaayyyy to much time spent on the frickin' iPhone, and I'm the perfect demographic for it. My iPod 4Gen just died, and my Samsung Cingular cell is on the fritz, but there is no way in hell I'm paying $600 for a nano/phone combo. 8gig is not enough space, especially when you start putting any video content on there. Thanks Steve, I'll pass...:confused:
I was thinking too that I'm the perfect demographic ... tied in Cingular customer, not terribly happy with my moto phone, Apple freak. I agree that the price is terrible and the memory too small.
I wonder if video streaming to the phone might be announced before the product hits the shelves. The PSP can stream movies via Sony's LocationFree player. Maybe the Apple Phone will stream via a Slingbox or Apple Movie and they won't announce the functionality until later. Otherwise, I can't understand why they'd release a wide screen iPod without the storage space to hold movies.

I think google has a lock on the map thing. I can't see apple employees driving around remapping the world to get their own data base
google maps itself is pretty crappy compared to Bing maps and some of the higher cost mapping solutions out there. google maps is hardly ever updated

check out this resurection of the commodore 64 http://www.commodoreusa.net/CUSA_C64.aspx
COOL!
Looks like one of those Nettop boards inside a C64 chassis and an emulator...
:)
How about an Atari 400?

I've been on a seller on eBay since 2000, and this is 100% a scam. Ive seen this before and it has happened to my buddy. He did get his money back and everything was resolved.

This app: movie montage http://www.findleydesigns.com bills itself as iphoto for movies. (quicktime only I believe) It is a crippled free version but check it out.
Very cool thanks for the tip on that. It will work for 5 minutes at a time with some other minor limitations. Purchase price is $10 which seems pretty fair.

Then why don't they let me explicitly allow it like Apple wants them to do?
Because Apple's solution cuts them out from general demographics information as well (for those that opt out).
And I have not seen on option in iOS to prevent Apple from using my data for general demographics they use to sell their iAds.
People get whipped into a frenzy just because somebody tells them to.

Bertrand Serlet, senior vice president of Mac Software Engineering, will be departing the company in order to "focus less on products and more on science"
He's moving to Aperture Science. Look at him still designing when there's Science to do.

Apple should never be expected to do something. As soon as we thought we had their iPhone release dates figured out they changed on us.

Just be happy.
The USA is spoiled rotten.
So...your premise is that the USA has....??good?? internet service? Compared to other places? Are you comparing to that island of cannibals in the Thailand area? Cause, I don't think they care. Americans may be spoiled rotten, but not on this item.
I hope they release one for the Verizon iPhone...
I was just about to post as the first V user, guess I'm #3. Something would be nice. I'm waiting on my JB decision, partly for 4.3.x.
