Also a greener device. 23% smaller packaging. "The 3GS -- the most powerful iPhone yet."
-----------------------------
11:55 AM - Engadget

Accessibility: "We have some great new settings on the 3GS -- it can read text, you can zoom in the display, invert black and white..."
"We've also built in support for Nike+" Nice!
-----------------------------
11:54 AM - Engadget
"There's another great feature -- we call it voice control. You can hold down the home button, and a brand new UI pops up -- the voice control interface."
"And talk about easy to use, the commands you make are scrolling by as you use it."

-----------------------------
11:46 AM - Engadget
"This is a really fast iPhone. Something as simple launching messaging, 2 times faster... everything is faster. These are all speeds against an iPhone 3G."
Up to 2 times faster across the phone, but not with everything.
-----------------------------
11:44 AM - Engadget

Final demo from Line 6 and Planet Waves. Together, they let you control your guitar and your amp at your next gig. Marcus Ryle. Using accessory framework you can connect iPhone to connect amp and guitar. Can choose the amp style. "This doesn't run on compressed air, but it could still have some technical issues." Can also adjust treble and bass. Can also change what kind of guitars, change into acoustic. "That's not acoustic." Whoooopsie. You can design your own guitar. You'll all have to go to Line6.com to hear what it actually sounds like. Change the tuning of the guitar without using a tuning peg. You can move the frets around—apparently it sounds impressive when it works.
-----------------------------
11:34 AM - Engadget
Zipcar. "We're excited to introduce our app today. Jonathan (who is demoing the app) doesn't own a car. The application immediately locates him, and it shows him where the nearby Zipcar locations are."

Tap Reserve, pick a time, and duration. And you can tap the horn icon on the iPhone to have it beep the horn for your car, so it's easy to find and you can unlock the car from the iPhone. That's Zipcar on the iPhone.
-----------------------------

Another demo. Pasco. A science app which shows off theory / experiments. Ha! Scott just came back out in a lab outfit. He's going to perform an experiment...
Uh oh -- demo isn't working right. "Where's the rapid increase in pressure?" "The rapid increase in pressure is right here." Points to himself. Too bad the demo didn't work. "Sometimes these things happen, but we can show you how this flatline zooms quite well." Laughter and applause. Well played sir.

-----------------------------
11:22 AM - MacWorld
TomTom. Man, we have been waiting to hear from these guys for year. Both application and accessory integration. Peter-Frans Pauwels. Using new features in iPhone 3.0 to deliver real TomTom navigation as a true iPhone experience. Plan a route from Moscone West to Sausalito. Best route at the best time of day. And it has the voice cues. Demo looks a little jerky. Create an optional accessory that's like a little cradle that suctions into the window. Not just a holder, it securely docks iPhone, and you can flip it into landscape. Thanks to accessory framework, they can enhance GPS, also give you hands free calling, power, and a loudspeaker. Both will be available this summer, with a range of maps.

Bringing up several developers to show what they've been able to accomplish with iPhone OS 3.0. First, Gameloft.
Mark Hickey from Gameloft is unveiling a new game, Asphalt 5, which he claims will be the best racing game on iPhone. Lets you play music from your library while you drive, advanced lighting and graphics -- fully pushing the hardware, Peer to Peer multiplayer over Bluetooth, worldwide multiplayer over wifi in-game voicechat, content packs for sale (1 racktrack and 3 new cars for 99 cents). Next demo, Airstrip.
Airstrip lets medical professionals monitor patient medical data. The medical community is flocking to the iPhone because of apps like this. Showing their next app, Critical Care.
App supports custom Push notifications based on parameters you define. Shows a live monitor of the patient's vitals from anywhere.
-----------------------------
11:12 AM - MacWorld
Accessories. Opening up ability for hardware developers to build software apps for their accessories. LifeScan said it would build a companion iPhone app for its OneTouch glucose scanner. Will calculate how much insulin you need to take for your next meal.
Companion apps can talk to accessories via dock connector or over Bluetooth. Use standard protocol or create custom procotols to talk to your own custom hardware.
Cocoa Touch control to embed Google Maps, including satellite and hybrid views, directly into your applications. This control is heart of the Maps application, and you get everything you expect, like pan and zoom, custom annotations, current location, geocoding. Developers can build turn-by-turn direction applications using Core Location.
Push Notifications are *in* iPhone OS 3.0. Generic push notification service for developers. Allows developers to push things like scoring alerts, as well as instant messages. Three types of notfications: text alerts, badges, and custom alert sounds. A few of the more than 1000 new APIs that make up SDK for iPhone OS 3.0.
-----------------------------
11:08 AM - MacWorld
1,000 new developer APIs. Starting with in-app purchase. Allows developers to make financial purchases from within the app, enabling things like magazine subscriptions and additional game packs. Business terms are the same as apps on the store. Free apps remain free, so you can't give away a free app and then charge for additional content.
Support for Peer to Peer networking. Peer to Peer support automatically finds other client over Bluetooth, no pairing necessary. Great for any application that wants to form peer to peer connection between two devices.
-----------------------------
11:06 AM - Engadget
Find My iPhone. "This is a great one. If you've ever misplaced or lost your phone, it can be... somewhat traumatic." Ha! A scene from 30 Rock.
"Hopefully you haven't had a 30 Rock experience, but this is why we created Find My iPhone. If you lose or misplace the phone, you can login to MobileMe on any browser and it will show you where the phone is." Wow -- big applause.
You can send a message to the phone. You can send a message to your phone which plays a sound as well, whether or not it's in silent mode. "If you're like me, and it shows you that your phone is at your house, the alert still plays until you find that your kids hid it under the couch."
"Now, if it is lost or stolen, you can send a remote wipe command which will delete all of your data."
-----------------------------
11:04 AM - MacWorld

Wow, Apple's giving AT&T the stick today. All unsaid, of course, but the list of carriers that support tethering on iPhone 3.0 is huge, and yet... AT&T isn't in there. Are we seeing Apple negotiating its next carrier deal in public?
-----------------------------
11:01 AM - Engadget
"We've also added support for iTunes U right on the phone. Next, important additions to parental controls. We've added control over a number of items, most importantly, ratings control for movies and TV, as well as apps."
Tethering! "This allows you to share you connection with your computer."
"This works with Macs and PCs, wired over USB, or wireless with Bluetooth. It is a seamless experience. There's no need to run any software once it's turned on. This requires carrier support. We have 22 partners in 44 countries..." No mention of AT&T. What!?
-----------------------------
10:58 AM - Engadget
