Subscription based application payments? I say f- that.

Apple keynotes take TOO long to get into the Juicy Stuff!

[Pajter]

It's great for developers, but I'm not really interested in that. Bring on the new features! :D

[MrChainsaw]

So far sounds like a faster way to get rid of your money.

well the event is meant for developers...

Peer-to-peer connectivity.... now that's more like it :)

"With the iPhone 3.0 SDK, they?re going to enable accessory developers to make custom applications that can communicate directly with the accessory. For example, an equalizer application on the phone that can control the equalizer on the speaker when it?s docked."

So basically, drivers for the iPh:pe :p

[sundayx Veteran]

These API's are really opening up the potential for future applications. The futures bright!

Wirelessly over bluetooth

So the iPod Touch (touted as the funnest iPod ever), won't be able to take advantage of this, joy (N)

[Pajter]

It's starting to get more interesting. :D

"Everything is in there–pinch and zoom, custom annotations, satellite views, location tracking and location tracking."

Similar to how you can embed Google Maps into websites on computers. Nice :)

EDIT: Turn-by-turn navigation! About time!

You mean the "iPhone with training wheels," as described by Steve Jobs?

I wouldn't be surprised if iPod touch users are also charged $20 for the 3.0 firmware.

[Pajter]

PUSH!

I'm getting really excited right now...

[Jase]

Yay for Push!

[HeartsOfWar]

So, is it just apple that can't license google maps for turn-by-turn or will app developers not be able to license google maps either?

If they can't - this really freaking sucks

[Rudy]

I'm glad they're not allowing for background apps

[Axel]

It would make me interested in the iPhone if they included multi-tasking and quick flicking between apps like the palm pre. But perhaps we'll need to wait til the next iphone for this!
