VOIP..... you can do that with skype anyway :/

Edit: Skype in the background.....

 

[Sunray]

There is quite a lot to look forward to on that slide and this one too

Including down there in the bottom right in small, wake on wireless? Eh?

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Yep he mentioned somethig like 100 new additions...

 

[Structaural]

thats what im on./

I'm on both now

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Wonder what iPod out means...?

 

[sim667]

I like the folder idea

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Yup pretty useful.

 

[sim667]

wallpapers...... about fucking time.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Fuck wallpapers more than one exchange account!

 

[Structaural]

tentpole is an unfortunate term... though I guess that's what the high fivers will be having... Schwing!

 

[sim667]

fuck books

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Games!

 

[Sunray]

Jesus these guys have been hard at work.

I think Fridgemagnets statement that the iPhone is now not the hotly developed item has just gone up in a puff of smoke. Lots of additions and it still looks like the usability of the device hasn't been compromised.

fuck books

yep I gave up reading books on my iPhone some time ago. irlBooks ftw

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Very good move going down the xbox live route, Nintendo, Sony and MS must be bricking it!

 

[Sunray]

I suppose if people want free apps then iAd gives developers the ability to offer them. As long as its not something that isn't optional.

I wonder if this is the way they will offer trial apps?

Fuck thats a seriously huge land grab by Apple in the ad stakes.

 

[sim667]

iads?

I dont understand, and i dont want fucking adverts on my phone, i paid for the device ffs!

 

[Structaural]

I'm impressed, some great implementation there. Especially multi-tasking.

Not even after looking at the Emotion / Interaction graph?

 

[Structaural]

iAds - Flash is back but only for the shit stuff.

 

[sim667]

Not even after looking at the Emotion / Interaction graph?

i suppose ads is ok, if its optional...... i.e. not like pop ups on a browser.

 

[Structaural]

*iBored*

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Er seriously I don't think adverts counts as a cool new feature for my fucking iPhone!

The power of graphs wins again.

"We figured out how to implement multitasking for third party apps and avoid those things. So that's what took so long".

Thats a piss poor excuse. Also a lot of this stuff is just bringing it on par with the jailbroken phones.
