Hidden Features in Steve Job's iPhone Keynote?

| | Comments (0)

ACTV has "uncovered" a few things many have missed in Steve Job's Keynote on the iPhone.

Granted, the iPhone was still a prototype, and I think a lot of the software Steve demoed was as well. So take this with a grain of salt.

After watching the YouTube video here are the meat and potatos of the report in case you don't have time to watch it.

Calendar App
- calendar app has standard three views: year day month
- Steve had a screenshot of the month view with a day selected
- at the bottom are the days events
- add new events on the fly by pressing the + button at the top right

Mapping software
There was no directional information in the demo... or was there? In a different screen shot you could see these:
- lower right show and hide traffic info
- lower left enter directions or config?

Letter Scrolling
Pressing the letter on the right side of the screen and it will take you to the correct alphabetized listing.

And here's the big one:
Ringtones
iTunes has a separate tab for ringtones built in. Having a separate tab seems to make you think that Apple will allow you to sync and buy ringtones from the Apple iTunes store.
