dude.....don"t tell me.....u for real
The Google Maps team just announce that they've started testing voice search as a new feature. Starting today, you can speak your business query instead of typing it on a select group of BlackBerry devices (Pearl 8110, 8120, and 8130, US only). Voice search in Google Maps uses the same speech recognition engine as GOOG-411, our free directory assistance service.
Using voice search is as simple as 1, 2, 3:
1. Press "0" to center the map view around your location
2. Press the left-side key and hold it while you say the name or type of business you're looking for (for example, "pizza")
3. When you're done speaking, release the left-side key, and our voice recognition technology will figure out your request and find the business you've been looking for, no typing needed.
This feature is experimental, which means a couple of things. First, similar to other voice-recognition technologies, the accuracy of voice recognition will improve over time as more people use the voice search feature. Second, the feature is currently only supported on 8110, 8120 and 8130 BlackBerry Pearl models in the US.
A few days left.
O2 will have very low stock supplies on Friday
A back of an envelope calculation, that may be wrong.
Let's put it another way - having checked, there are 1,300 physical O2 stores in the UK (as per a figure from CS). So say 40 big ones. 200 odd in in London, so a decent number near highly populus areas, or ones which have a high catchment area/ that have a decent number of commuters used to coming into work before 9am.
Let's go from the 40-60 per store number, taking the high figure.
60x 1,300 (the number of O2 stores there are) giving a top end figure of 78,000 iPhone 3Gs for Friday.
But.... We know from the O2 email that they had a pre registrered interest of over 200,000 people.
78,000 into 200,000? Roughly only 2 iPhones for every 5 people that have registered interest. And there is certainly going to be more interested than pre-registered.
That is why there will be a need to queue and maybe even "froth at the mouth"..
Just a shout out for Ubiq - Mentioned back in May here and what would youknow, mentioned in the UK gizmodo in July, here
The site for UbiqWindow
What would you know,
Samsung launch their iPhone killer, the Omnia SGH i900, with Ubiq'window touchless technology apparently...The project was driven by LM3LABS' distributor iM3 Asia in Singapore.)

This is the exciting part ot touch and multi-touch, and why it could be kick-ass... (Having a decent sound track whilst you use it doesn't hurt either).

Give it a year before this starts rocking more cutting edge showrooms, display booths etc.

The Hammerhead II chip is optimized for mobile devices requiring high performance, low power and an extremely small footprint. The diminutive single-die chip measures only 3.7mm x 3.6mm x 0.6 mm, for a total footprint of less than 14 mm², resulting in the worlds smallest GPS receiver.
Cost ~£5 a chip in quantity (or less).
"The GPS feature can now be added to any mobile device with a total electronics bill-of-materials footprint of less than 50 mm². It can deliver sensitivity to -160 dBm and position fix times as fast as 1 second.
While Hynix and Samsung have hinted that Apple is re-stocking its NAND inventory, downstream players in Taiwan doubt their claims, saying that Apple still houses a considerable supply of chips according to their estimates.
According to DigiTimes, the downstream players believe that Apple has indeed started to stock up on the high-density NAND flash chips. However, they say Hynix and Samsung are exaggerating the magnitude of the order increase in attempts to fuel price increases.
It was reported earlier this month that, despite procuring about $1.2 to 1.3 billion worth of NAND flash memory for its products in calendar year 2007, Apple has yet to place any substantial orders this year, leading to mainstream NAND flash prices that have fallen below cost.

Cheers Tom, interested in what this potential shortcut is..
have a iphone mail question (i have been seaching eveywhere, but no luck, so i decided to turn here)
does the Iphone auto delete messages in inbox and sent or do i have to do this manually?
if it is auto, how can i set?
Ok - you can link several accounts to your iPhone 3G (e.g. Exchange, MobileMe, Yahoo, gmail/Google Mail, and any other POP/IMAP account you have the details of.
When you say auto delete - what do you mean, and do you mean inbox?
I think what you're asking is -
An email comes into say the Yahoo account. It's pushed to the iPhone. If you delete the email on the iPhone, that change is then pushed back to the Yahoo account, and the email is deleted from that account.
You can set email, e.g. through Thunderbird, to actually not get a copy of the emails, but actually move them to a local computer (i.e. make a copy locally, then delete the email completely from the Yahoo servers).
From what I've gathered, and a quick test:
Sent an email to my Yahoo account with an attachment
It was pushed to my iPhone (POP Yahoo account) and notified me within 6 seconds
I viewed the email on the iPhone (and looking at mail.yahoo.com, the email then showed as read)
I deleted the email on my iPhone. The email upon page refresh showed it as deleted on the mail.yahoo.com page (Put in the trash - which will empty automatically every so often I believe)
The email wasn't available to be downloaded via Thunderbird. It went to the Trash folder. You'd have to get the trash folder emptied before you really got rid of it.
Sending another email to the yahoo account
Shows up on mail.yahoo.com & is pushed to the iPhone
Viewing the email on Mail.yahoo.com changes the status to read on the iPhone (though took a bit longer to change the status, still under a minute)
Deleting the email on mail.yahoo.com, the email then doesn't gets deleted from the iPhone within seconds
The email is then unavailable for downloading via Thunderbird, but you could still move it out of Trash, and get it back.
So basically, for Yahoo at least, deleting messages from the Inbox, on either your iPhone, or at mail.yahoo.com, moves it to the Trash folder - so you can still put it back into the Inbox. Beyond that, you'd have to check for more - hopefully other members can help.
If you said what the account was that would help.
As an aside- you can set the frequency in which your spam folder empties from immediately (which is a bit dangerous, if you get useful mail seen as spam), once a week, once a fortnight, and once a month).
Yahoo does let you set up disposable addresses too, under the Options setting again. I'm not sure about what happens to the Trash - as Yahoo was under
cool, i pretty much get it now. i have my iPhone linked to Gmail, at first i was afraid that too many emails would kill memory and space on my iPhone. But after reading your response, the Iphone is only a "vehicle" for reading writing and deleting emails (if i have it straight). I originally thinking of the outlook aka entourage style, where you can set emails to auto delete, lets say after a month. At my work pc, i have this set like this.
so my next assumption is, like you highlighted with junk mail, is to change settings on the actual gmail webpage eg, if I wanted to auto delete spam
one last Q, Gmail can handle 1 Gig of email memory, so that means my iphone can have equal amount of messages also? (hypothetically speaking)
