If this new baby gets the rumored new chip and processor, that should boost its speeds. MobileSafari is simply not as fast as its desktop counterpart for these reasons.<BR/><BR/>The whole Maps use restriction is due in part to Apple's deal with Google, who own the Maps resources. Besides, I think a 3D Turn-by-Turn GPS would not use aerial view, but rather license Google's street view. That would be make it the first ever GPS UI with actual street photography.<BR/><BR/>As for the mockup, I think most PhotoShop artists make the same mistake of altering the contour of the iPhone's rounded edges. Let's face it, the rounded chromatic bezel is the iPhone's signature look, it's not just going to be altered. The specifications behind the chrome edge's curvature is what defines the iPhone. <BR/><BR/>Apple will move the SIM card bed on the right side before they displace the speaker and mess up the iPhone's carefully-nurtured aesthetics.<BR/><BR/>Don't forget Steve Jobs obsesses over such things, Graham.ChuckGeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2403750530280856295.post-35301600119255297182009-04-13T08:57:00.000+01:002009-04-13T08:57:00.000+01:00Hi Rob.

That being said, the word I believe you're looking for is 'matte' black back. Unless you're suggesting that the back of the iPhone is the same color black as someone named Matthew that you're on a nick-name basis with.Robhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07457803621020438533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2403750530280856295.post-53414109381499168532009-04-12T23:29:00.000+01:002009-04-12T23:29:00.000+01:00Thanks for the feedback - for some reason, I hadn't thought about what was on the screen. Might have a look at that tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>Regarding turn-by-turn directions, I could be wrong, but I think the licensing issues may just be to do with 3rd party applications. This doesn't necessarily mean that Apple won't license the tiles for their own Maps application... but like everything in this blog, that's just speculation. Look at it another way, if Apple are not planning to offer their own turn-by-turn, how are they planning to use the magnetometer?Graham Bowerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11279417927951294556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2403750530280856295.post-22882381484288690482009-04-12T22:33:00.000+01:002009-04-12T22:33:00.000+01:00Great looking mockup!<BR/><BR/>It would have been more convincing with the voice recorder app, since that's now included, as well as the spotlight icon on the leftmost page indicator. Plus the SMS icon is now just the bubble.<BR/><BR/>Also, I'm pretty sure Apple has said that turn-by-turn directions will not come from them, but from a 3rd party, due to licensing issues with Google.<BR/><BR/>I like the VoiceOver idea, though. I could definitely see that working it's way in, but surely it won't require you to have headphones plugged in for voice dialing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
