Besides TomTom, Apple brought lots of other app-makers on stage to demo their wares using the iPhone 3.0 OS. Games can now take advantage of peer-to-peer technology to allow iPhone owners to play against each other in real time, from any two locations. A healtchare app allows doctors to view monitors, charts and vital signs of patients over-the-web, and can be notified immediately if changes occur. An app from ZipCar, a car rental subscription company, allows subscribers to reserve, find, and unlock a car all via the iPhone, which becomes a clicker that sends a signal to the car to make it honk and unlock. A science app from Pasco is designed to use external sensors to feed data into the iPhone (such as a science experiment involving pressure and blowing up a balloon). That demonstration and a demonstration of a guitar application both failed on stage, but there was no booing or hissing from the extremely pleased audience of Apple fans.

Awesome new phone. Just wish Apple didn't signed an exclusive deal with AT&T otherwise I'd buy one. I know you can jailbreak the phones but that's something we shouldn't have to deal with.

I agree if they had opened it up the iPhone would be dominating the whole market. But that's just my thoughts on it.

"The battery will last for 100 recharge cycles, and won't diminish its charge capacity for five years".... I think that's 1000 recharges.
