Paul Graham is kind of a dick about it sometimes, but he's right that starting a small business is where it's at. Startups = teh future.

Here’s An Idea: Location-Aware Disposable Apps For The iPhone - http://mashable.com/2008...

This is a fantastic idea. I was already considering storing a few static images of things like the London Underground map and other transport maps of areas I might visit. But proper apps would be even better.

OMG, yes. Let's also add maps for the museum you're in (replacing the entire paper brochure). You could even have downloadable audio tours. Of course how long would it take for Netflix to come out with "take a picture of the bar code and we'll add it to your queue" when you're in a video store. Heck, Amazon should do that with everything. Yes, this could really kill local retail.
- Cyrus Lendvay
wow what a great idea - I don't even have an iPhone and i think its a great idea!
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
That is a sweet idea

They discussed this already in relation to Starbucks and potentially Apple stores. They discussed the idea expanding beyond to other places. Currently they have an app that pops up in Starbucks inside iTunes to view recently played music. This article expands on it a bit. Old article: http://news.softpedia.com/news...
- Adam Helweh
This is a good idea for any GPS equipped phone ?
- Brian Sullivan
There was a similar system for Palm devices some years ago: "beaming" stations which could send apps to a Palm device via IR. I tried it at the Sony Metreon, which distributed an interactive floorplan. A little Googling shows they also installed the beaming stations at Pac Bell Park and similar public locations with lots of foot traffic.
- DGentry
There's no need to make them as intrusive as he describes. Just tag apps with one or more sets of coordinates and allow people to filter app store searches by location. The same applies to web pages in general. There are already ways to geocode web pages. If only some search engine would let you do something useful with that...

@Cyrus We (edgelab) looked at Scanbuy's technology a few years ago - does just what you are talking about. Their best application (rolled out through a shell organization...for reasons that will become apparent shortly), IMO, was this http://www.wired.com/science...

Do I sense jealousy? I think it's incredible. About time someone built something impressive. The US should follow suit with a suitably impressive WTC memorial. As for a messed up society? Pff, when your own house is in order then go after someone elses.

There are many over-the-top examples of Dubai architecture, but the one that really knocks my socks off is the project to build an entirely new city with extreme "green" ambition http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... I'm frequently amazed by the sheer quantity of projects like this happening in UAE.

Why? I don't understand why. It's like they are trying to prove something. But how many workers died building this vanity project?
- Liz
Liz it's not the Middle Ages. I am sure the building is not resting on the bones of the poor exploited workers.
- John Samuelson
this place looks like after a war! They might have the money, but haven't they heard about green? Let's see what happens when they will run out of oil. Anyway, that's a great building, but it doesn't fit the landscape.

I usually describe my iPod Touch as a pocket computer that can also play media. The iPhone is a pocket computer that can also be used as a phone.
- Michael Connick
You serious about crashing iPhones???
- Roberto Bonini
@rbonini, I have had to do a hard reboot at least once every other day. It sometimes takes me a minute to even get it to respond to a power button hold, and then longer because I can't move the slider.
- Robyn Miller
totally agree. Heres a test report on smartphone battery life under 'mobile internet' conditions. http://tinyurl.com/5mbr89

Battery life is the major hurdle the mobile phones need to conquer.
- Muthu Ramadoss
Do we need Intel to come in to picture for the processor at least with better performance and less power consumption. I think the processor has to scale up before these phones can smoothly support all the pc functions
- Umesh Kakkad
I predict the next iPhone will have a multicore processor
- Alan Cheslow
I been hearing the battery story for 5 years now! iPhone is nothing new, it is a PDA with Windows CE! Solve the battery problem and stop lying how many hour it will hold charge! You lucky if you can finish a DVD on a clean charge?
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
I cannot use the Camera or go into Photo album right now on iPhone - both crash every time. Starting a restore...
- Sean Alexander
The current iPhone has multiple processors. It has 3 ARM chips in it. 3G may have the ARM multi-core chips. Not sure. The power draw isn't the processor, it is the network, screen and GPS. This is why it lasts longer when that stuff is off.
- Kevin Goldsmith
from twhirl
Yes, just do not watch movies, no surfing the net, and no GPS! Is this like 8 years ago? Voice and SMS?

I wouldn't put up with that - #1 priority is reliability - it's a phone first. What happens in an emergency and it's frozen?

If I see someone sitting nearby who also has a laptop and is web working, I'll ask him/her to keep an eye on my stuff. Usually, they ask me to return the favor when I get back. It's fine in a small Starbucks in Southern New Jersey. Definitely wouldn't do it in Manhattan. Otherwise, I've been known to leave my backback, coat and power adapter and just take my MBP to the ladies room with me. That way it's clear the seat is taken.
