I am a BB person but I am just as smitten with the iPhone as a toy. I'm convincing the mrs. to get it when her contract with Verizon is up so that I can have my grubby hands on it :twisted:

Re: W effin WDC today

[B]11:46 a.m.:[/B] Meet the new iPhone 3GS (the S stands for speed). It has the same design as iPhone 3G from last summer, but what's inside is entirely new. Messaging apps, games, attachments all load faster, Schiller says. [B]11:48 a.m.:[/B] They've gauged the speeds measured on iPhone 3GS using OS 3.0 software. [B]11:49 a.m.:[/B] 3GS is ready for AT&T's faster 3G network, Apple says. As expected, there's a better built-in camera too, a 3-megapixel autofocus camera. [B]11:50 a.m.:[/B] There's a feature called "Tap to Focus." Can tap an item in a photo, and it focuses immediately. There's better light sensitivity, so you can take indoor photos better. There's also auto macro focus. And it captures video, he says. The crowd loves it. [B]11:51 a.m.:[/B] A new switch in the bottom of the camera app allows you to choose still or video. There's auto focus, auto whitebalance, and auto exposure for both still and video. [B]11:53 a.m.:[/B] You can edit the videos by tapping with your finger. Also, you can send videos via e-mail or text--if your carrier supports it, Schiller says. Developers can also built video cameras right into their applications. [B]11:54 a.m.:[/B] Now he's talking voice control. Wave form shows voice amplitude directly onscreen. "It took two years to get native voice dialing? Ridiculous," Kent says. [B]11:55 a.m.:[/B] Clever: You can ask your phone "What song is playing?" and it will tell you. Also, can tell the phone, "Use Genius playlist to play more songs like this." Digital compass, as widely rumored, is indeed in the new iPhone. [IMG]http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/bto/20090608/_MG_2684_610x406.JPG[/IMG]The iPhone 3GS has a built-in digital compass. (Credit: James Martin/CNET) [B]11:56 a.m.:[/B] There's a compass app. With it, you can tap the screen and it will orient the map you are looking at to face north. Kent says, "Compass looks pretty cool. Speaking of location, will we get geotagging of photos?" [B]11:57 a.m.:[/B] Schiller says Nike Plus will have built-in support. Can track runs, and choose songs. Businesses want hardware encrupted, now the iPhone 3GS will have it. This is back to the remote-wipe feature. Also, battery life is extended. "Hallelujah," says Kent. [B]11:58 a.m.:[/B] The phone has between zero and 50 percent better battery life on video, Wi-Fi usage, and talk time.

Re: W effin WDC today

can't wait, was watching the keynote droooling

Re: W effin WDC today

[B]11:59 a.m.:[/B] Price: $199 for 16GB and $299 for 32GB, which is what we expected. [B]12 p.m.:[/B] There are more affordable phones now. There will indeed be a $99 iPhone. It's 8GB. This will allow more people to get an iPhone now, Schiller says. The $99 version starts today; the iPhone 3GS will be available June 19. Just a week and a half.

Re: W effin WDC today

sounds like its a good upgrade from the first gen iphone that i have and hopefully my local carrier gets it in a week and a half and not any longer

Re: W effin WDC today

Well bad news for me since i bought my 2.8Ghz MBP less than a month ago and now theres a new one with nicer features. bleh. Other than that ill be getting the new iphone as soon as it comes to my country... which i think it will be like 2-3 months. There are also some cool features on the iphone such as remote deletion of ur personal data if ur phone gets lost/stolen, the magnetometer which is useful if ur a boyscout, and the better camera.

Re: W effin WDC today

I keep hoping the new iPhone will have a brushed aluminium body like the Macbook and Macbook Pro.

Re: W effin WDC today

i bought a new MBP last november and an iphone 3g last july... needless to say i will be keeping both. todays WWDC was less than stellar imo. the only good thing, at least where i am concerned, is iphone 3.0 software... cannot wait for that TomTom app.

Re: W effin WDC today

does the camera have a flash now?

Re: W effin WDC today

good question, I don't think so (haven't heard anything so far)

Re: W effin WDC today

I will start by saying i am not trying to diss the Iphone but...

I wasn't really impressed by the keynote, just seems to me the 3G S is just fixing things that should have been there properly since the first Gen Iphone.. Copy and paste? Voice activated controls? MMS? focus on camera? thats old technology by phone standards..

In saying that there a couple of things i do like about the Iphone, maps working with compass app. All in one product, phone, music internet etc.

Although most new symbian nokias/SE have decent memory card slots for music, wifi enabled, real buttons for texting! no touchscreen nonsence, Over 8 mp cameras to take respectable quality photos.

you are talking about the iphone software 3.0... all of those refer to that, which is free to all iphones next week.

the 3gs is a complete joke to anyone that has the current iphone 3g, all it is is a refresher pretty much. s is for speed. =\
