Hidden Details from iPhone Keynote Speech

The letter tapping to jump in lists may have not been in the Keynote but it was in the presentations at MWSF. For the record...

PIM syncing can hardly count for a 'hidden' feature.

interesting stuff -- good work!

None of this was glossed over in my book. People that think it's just an apple branded smartphone need to go back and watch the Keynote. This thing is the most advance iPod to date. Amazing iPod! Can anyone's iPod do cover flow? And as far as a phone goes, how many of you can surf through your voicemails on the screen, in any order? Answer, none of you. Who has an actual web browser? Who has iPhoto basically built in? Have you folks looked at the split screen scrolling email? Same with the address book. People are just reading the specs and are like... uh, my treo has that or blackberry, or whatever. From what I've seen and used, they aren't the same. This thing is a sort of paradigm shift. Kinda like how the macintosh changed our way of thinking of computer interfaces and purposes, this thing may very well reshape our idea of a mobile phone/communication device. There were mp3 players before the iPod, but do they matter anymore? Not really. Even if it just sparks competitive innovation an copies (which it already has) then it's an important part of history.

Nothing huge, but good work.

I can't even see how you guys analyzed so poorly the google maps image

It's clear that the icon on the right relates to a sort of "Get directions" and the icon on the left surely relates to "Find Restaurant". Both are international symbols!

Clicking the following link, you can find some pics that i created so you can all see what i am talking about.

You raise a very good point, regardless, it's good to find out some new-ish stuff on the iPhone, things were getting a little stale.

Yes! Keep em' coming! I love it when bits and pieces of info on the iPhone come rolling in! I CAN'T WAIT:apple:

It was strange that Steve showed the Washington Monument as a demo of what you can do with satellite maps... that's nothing compared to what you can do with just the featured he demonstrated:

Imagine you're in a downtown area of a city, but are disoriented as to where you need to walk to get to your destination.

All you have to do is look up the area you are in, zoom in on the satellite view, and look for the buildings around you.

Even if the phone doesn't have integrated GPS to the maps, you can still orient yourself very quickly. That is gonna be amazing.

You think that was Steve Jobs' actual phone number in the iTunes phone section? lol :p
