Monday, February 26thHidden features of the iPhone
A YouTube video by Actioncorp (embedded below) claims to glean unmentioned features of the Apple iPhone by analyzing Steve Jobs' recent MacWorld keynote. The Calendar application was scarcely mentioned during the presentation, for instance, but still photos reveal three different views (Day, Month, Year) and a display of upcoming events within a timeframe. Also, when scrolling through lists on the phone, a column of letters on the right-hand side lets users tap to instantly jump to sections alphabetically. The most interesting revelation may be the likelihood of ringtones bought or created by the user, which is suggested by the likes of a "Ringtones" tab used in the keynote version of iTunes.

The calendar app can show day, week, or month! Wow! Just like, I don't know, iCal! I never would have guessed. I would've bet millions they were only going to have Year, Decade, and Century views!
Also, when scrolling through lists on the phone, a column of letters on the right-hand side lets users tap to instantly jump to sections alphabetically.
Wow! If only the iPod had such a nifty navigation method! Oh, wait, it does...
The most interesting revelation may be the likelihood of ringtones bought or created by the user, which is suggested by the likes of a "Ringtones" tab used in the keynote version of iTunes. Click below for more details. And its going to support ringtones? OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG! No one in their right minds would have dreamed that apple would offer ringtones on a cell phone. That's just so.....I don't know what!
And if that's listed as "the most interesting revelation", there's absolutely no reason to check out the article/video.
"The Calendar application was scarcely mentioned during the presentation..." maybe because it is a calendar. I'm sure Mr. Jobs wanted to show 'cooler' features than a calender.
But only time will tell if there are actually any 'hidden' features worth mentioning.
Of course I could be wrong, but I'm not... most GPS systems include this feature already....
The iRingtone Store!
Thousands and thousands of ringtones, all with 3 note previews. Not sure if they are going to be 1.99 or 3.99, the 1.99 is probably too low. They already have the press release drafted about how they have sold $200,000 worth in the first week.
Stockholders will be ecstatic that all of them will be synthed so no rights need to be paid, so we're talking PURE profit.
Testudo told me that right about now, the only product worth anything from Apple is a share of stock. Or better yet, thousands of shares.
