It's all swings and roundabouts.
I see the "walled garden" as a necessity to provide security and coherence....and the "non walled garden" of android as a mess of app stores, user interfaces and forks. Yet I'm sure most android users see it the opposite way, "inflexibility" vs. "choice".
Not really as any file system they'd present over bluetooth would be a subfolder on the phone and you'd never have access to any of the system folders. In addition, iOS sandboxes each and every application so that it can only write to it's own documents folder, there's no concept of system wide...
The simple answer is that it only supports limited bluetooth profiles, things like headset etc.
The slightly longer answer is that it'll only find devices which support "headset" profile.
The even longer answer is covered by NDA's that take months to get through.
Notifications should have the option to just display badge counts, for example with emails if you disable previews you still see who the sender is, so it still "leaks" information. However, if you had the option to show badge counts on the lock screen it could just show "4 new mails" etc.

About what? Steve Jobs is seriously ill, his stepping down has nothing to do with what the iPhone 4S is or isn't.
I'm really not sure what people expected, I don't know what they could have added to it to make people go...

They'll have got a micrometer out and measured it, but ignored the fact that 0.2mm is probably well within the manufacturing tolerance for any iPhone, black or white.

Ok, so having read the "hands on reviews" about Siri and having viewed the keynote....
AWESOME.

It's all bizarre. Apple were once the choice for "Think Different".
Android users come in 2 flavours:
Mint Choc Chip(-on-shoulder), geeks who buy "android" because they want to "think different" and almost invariably...

Basically the A5 processor is dual core version of the A4 processor, give or take the CPU is the same, just with 2 cores. Think of it like having 2 A4 processors inside, simplistically you can say that you have up to 2 times...

Or maybe this is what happens when you leave the "forstallator" in charge of software.....

1.) You ask it to do things with your phone and it does them.*
2.) It also behaves like wolfram alpha.

I'm still baffled by Cards, quite possibly the strangest product introduction I think I've ever seen.

Me: "What time is it?"
Phone: "Calling xxxx"
It was ok when it worked, but when it didn't you were always left scrambling for the "end call" button.

You'll miss his "iTea" announcement, where you use the app to buy and then get a hot cup of tea delivered to your doorstep. (if you're in the US, it'll even track it for you)

Must have been the #1 requested feature, it can be the only explanation - why else would you develop it, let alone open a "keynote" with it.
