Yesterday, Apple announced their new iPhone 3GS. The ‘S’ stands for speed (Apps are said to run twice as fast). It comes with better battery life and a way better camera. And voice control. You can tell your iPhone 3GS to “Call Mom,” or “Play Eminem” and it will. If you hear a song you don’t recognize, you ask “What song is this?” it’ll tell you. If you like it, tell it to “Play more like this.”
Cool stuff. But, here’s what gets me. You see, I lost my iPhone last week. No, actually, I didn’t lose it. Screw being politically correct. I know exactly where I left it – in the freakin’ back seat of a cab. And no, it wasn’t returned by my friendly cab driver. She probably never saw it. And it definitely wasn’t returned by her next fare, who I suspect had himself a real freakin’ joy blast at my expense. I can almost hear the bastard and his friends taunting, “In your face, K-F-C!”
Well. Let’s try and move on. Seriously, the new iPhone is really cool and I’d love to have one. But this is why I’ll camp out in front of the AT&T store on June 16. This is what I want:
The new iPhone features, “Find My iPhone” a service for MobileMe customers (that’s me), to help users who lose their device find it easily with a map showing where the phone is located at any time.
Damn. Damn. Damn… Damn, I wish I had that a week ago. I know a couple of former Marines. And right now, I wouldn’t need a freakin’ new iPhone. I’d just need bail.
Oh. Sorry. More about the new iPhone 3GS on TechCrunch.
