Live Coverage of iPhone 3.0 Media Event

[NT1440]

it's becoming a health device :L

Its becoming a pretty much anything someone would want to do with it device.

Basically its becoming a platform.

the use of accessories and bluetooth gave me the idea of an external keyboard! u guys remember the old palm keyboards that can fold and u put in ur pocket. would we be able to use bluetooth keyboards now? this would be great for taking notes in lectures! if this is true, im selling my macbook!

There's already a way to do this with the jailbreak

 

[jjohnny]

BUt of course, they use Valley Girl phrases like "awesome" and "amazing", because people eat it up.

What do you expect? It's Apple.

 

[Syrus28]

Again, this is a lot longer event than what I thought it would be.

You were expecting the media/analysts to fly to California for a 15 minute event?

 

[lindsayanng]

wow.. these app commercials are BORING

 

[Lesser Evets]

And now for commercial break.....



HOPE + APPLE = DISAPPOINTMENT


Thankyou, now back to the program where they will give you insulin to keep you from passing out during the sugary sweetening of mediocre.

I dont like the direction Apple is going with its mobile OS. There are many basic things missing that should first get resolved and then they can move on with building what they are with 3.0...So far I am disappointed

You'l sell your macbook because you might be able to type notes up on a screen smaller than your hand :S?

Did you buy a macbook just to take notes or something? that sounds abit mental too me

 

[NT1440]

No, because most of what they're saying is pretty much right. Who cares about app demos because we've seen it all before?!

They show how the new API's can be used in real life...how can people not understand this?

Am i just too geeky for even this forum?

- Next up, LifeScan glucose monitoring for diabetes.
- Glucose monitor can take a reading and send it to the iPhone via Bluetooth.


- Can use iPhone to calculate insulin requirements based on readings.

As a diabetic, I like this feature. I was pleasantly surprised to read it.

Jeez, the blogger from engadget sure is snarky

 

[naotko]

is this going to be the 'copy&paste' feature for one more thing?

 

[michael.lauden]

The other option is that they're keeping the SDK demos along with the SDK discussion. We may go onto non-SDK-related new features next (for example, tethering would likely appear as a standard network to apps rather than need its own API).

true that. apple is very good about organizing their events

 

[scarletbiro]

Up next

Let's say I *don't* have diabetes. But I still want an iPhone.

ok enough about diabetes. I wouldn't care this much if I had diabetes.

 

[bytethese]

I have a diabetic iPhone. It needs an injection of Copy and Paste please.

I personally think so, in this image, one of the features in the new SDK includes "text selection"

Let's say my Mother has diabetes (which she does). She needs to be convinced to get the 3G iPhone...
