+"I was joking about
disabling the iPhone, and I would love a voice dialing feature.
However, using a phone while driving is dangerous and I will say so any
time someone talks about it. People don't think it's dangerous, and
only constant repetition of that message will help. "+



And here is some constant repetition for you; blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Oh, and meaninless drivel; blah, blah blah.

I would like to know if the 3G iPhone will still fit in the dual dock with the Bluetooth headset. If not, what do I have to do, buy a brand new one to get a dock that works?

GPS is a receive only system, unlike what they show on TV. The only way your location could be transmitted is if the iPhone took your GPS coordinates and used the phone or WiFi connection to transmit that information to another system.

Actually I find it easier to drive while talking hands free than talking with the phone in my hand.

I'm sure you do, the point of the research is that the phone in your hand is a relatively minor distraction and the hands-free set doesn't correct the major cognitive-impairment.
>In fact it's even easier than talking to someone in the car which is more of a distraction. That's based on my personal experience and not some abstract research.
But the point of that "abstract research" is that your impression is misleading (unless the people in your car are wasted, I don't think that comparison has been done). If you look at an fMRI you would be surprised at how much work talking on a cell phone can be compared to an in-person conversation.

Given the history of the infamous MacTool kit. I'd say paper clip is quite approriate !

I live in CA and I installed a Parrot hands free device in January. It reads the contact from your phone and does the voice recognition itself without using the phone's built in voice recognition. It works great. This type of device will work with the iPhone, so you CAN have hands free voice recognition, you just need to pick you device.

Can you confirm if the 3G iPhone would fit in a Contour Showcase for the current edge iPhone. Even if not a perfect fit, if it would still fit. Let me know.

I really liked the new iPhone even though there are no Apple Stores here in East Africa. I'll have to wait by somebody who's going to come to the US so that he brings one. I bet I'll be among the first Rwandans to touch one.

FYI, a GPS receiver alone will not disclose your location. It works by receiving signals broadcast by various satellites with calculations of those data. You cell phone, however, always discloses your approximate location by merely being powered on with your SIM card inserted. Third-party applications which use active location data may share this data using your network connection and might broadcast your present locale data to anyone connected to that third-party application's network Its in the fine print of your agreement.

How is the speaker-phone volume? Version 1 was not very useful to use as a speaker-phone, albeit improved with one of the updates.
Hoping for loud and clear, and usable in small meetings. Friends have phones I can hear clear across a big room.

Two questions: Are notes synchronized? Is there a to-do list available?
Thanks,

Hi Jason
What about the "missing" basic phone functions that are amiss in 2G iPhones? Have they been included now yet?
- SMS - the ability to forward the information in a received SMS to another recipient/s
- MMS? The ability to send photo's attached to a SMS.

Don't we already know what the black plastic back will look and feel like? The present iPhone bottom panel.

Apple has stated the the application has to ask for permission to transmit your location to the Internet, and also that it will not transmit GPS information unless the application is needed to access that information.
What this means is that unless your iPhone is currently running Loopt or any other GPS tracking service, your iPhone won't be sending GPS information.
If you're hiding from your girlfriend or your wife, just quit the program! :lol:
