The iPhone is sooo 2007
I'm personally looking forwards to mutter:
Mutter is a conference-speaker app, and I just installed it in my new mobile. With Mutter, the grueling effort to compose conference speeches becomes a thing of the past! Instead, you just speak a half-dozen relevant phrases into the device on your way to the conference!
The software uses a potent mash-up of voice recognition, video search, and geolocation to find every recent conference address delivered on those topics. In my case, that's several hundred speeches in all the major geotech capitals: Helsinki, Oslo, San Francisco, Tokyo, Taipei, the works. Mutter searches out all the applause lines and plugs in the latest tech buzzwords, briskly delivering an entire new speech.
If it has a half decent API I should be able to get it to write my blog postings for me!
Thoughts?!
They are VERY cool though, and the keyboard is better than I expected. Still, Bruces piece reminds me that they are but the next step in a very long path.
Other phone manufacturers will be burning the midnight oil to compete, no doubt.
The future is bright for sophisticated communications devices technology.

I'm so sick of that Oasis song...
I agree about this iPhone being the first in what will be a long line of product rollouts, and so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to jump in yet. Along the same lines, my girlfriend still has one of the early version iPods -- it's like the size of four Nanos and looks utterly absurd compared to the newer versions. Works fine though. I figure I might get in around v3, hopefully the network will be faster by then!
