Not sure if I'd try this on a plane or a train, but Google is planning on offering an application for the iPhone which will allow people to search using the sound of their voice rather than the pad of their finger.

Google is expected to release a free iPhone application today that lets iPhone owners ask to find local businesses, get driving directions, ask basic search queries ("What's the capitol of Belgium?"), and displays them on-screen "within seconds on a fast wireless network," according to the New York Times.

The sound of our voice is converted to a digital file and sent to Google's servers, which try to determine the words spoken and pass them along to the Google search engine.

The search results, which may be displayed in just seconds on a fast wireless network, will at times include local information, taking advantage of iPhone features that let it determine its location.

Apple will soon be releasing their new iPhone and with all new releases the rumors and speculations are spreading like wildfire. There are screenshots floating around the web of what the product supposedly looks like.

If you were to go to Engadget they will tell you the screenshots are fake. However, TechCrunch is claiming the very same photo is most likely real. Who knows the truth? Probably only Apple and you know they are having a field day with all this free publicity.

I have no clue what it will really look like, but I do know some of the specs.

Apple recently applied for a patent that lists new features that include built-in instant-messaging, video-chat capabilities, support for voice-activated commands and a GPS module.

The new phone is also expected to be 22 percent thinner than the current version with more memory and longer-lasting batteries.

So what do you think? Any idea what it will look like? Or better yet, why all the hype?

So my friend Mike and I used to joke about all the ridiculous iPod docks.

And now we have something to add to the list thanks to the oh so lovely and expensive iPhone.

Help me please, because if the iPhone accessories, extras and docks are already starting then imagine...your $600 purchase for an iPhone will quickly become thousands once you start deciding you need a wristband to go along with it.

And so I have for you here....the sport armband for the iPhone...
"It gives you easy navigation access to your iPhone and minimizes bulk on your arm."

Good grief people! Put it in your POCKET! Or...and I know this might be hard for you..but while you are working out, maybe you should PUT THE PHONE AWAY!

Why am I not surprised? There were eBay auctions for iPhone bags. iPhone bags without iPhones. $305 for a bag - the bag you get when you purchase an iPhone to carry it out of the store with. It looks like the $300 aucitons have been taken down, but there are plenty up for iPhone bags under $5. Still...it's a BAG, and it's not a collectors item no matter how cool it looks. However iPhones with bags are going for a cool $900.

Have you guys heard about this new gadget coming out called the iPhone? You can't miss it, everyone is talking about it. The hype for this iPhone is so huge its palpable. Some lines started days ago outside the Apple and AT&T stores. I cannot deny the beauty of this device. For the most part, this is something we have not seen before. However, the more I see and read about it, the less I lust for it. I'm willing to bet many people don't even know why they want the phone in the first place. The marketing campaign for this thing was amazing- good enough to make you say "I want that" as if you were some brainwashed Apple fanboy. Are you really going to pay $600 for a phone? We have smart phones out today that cost $200 which can already browse the internet, play MP3's and store your personal data. I'm generally not an Apple fan. And I already pay for an unlimited data plan for my phone so my lack of enthusiasm does not stem from an inability to afford this device. I suddenly find myself unimpressed with the features of the iPhone. To me it's nothing entirely new, just a fancy package for many things we already do on our current smart phones. I will say that the official page for the iPhone is plenty cool. They have a video tutorial/tour of the iPhone and even show you how to activate it. I wish other manufactures would take the time to do those things. Apple is starting to make some nifty gadgets these days, but I don't think they make the best ones. Good for Mr. Jobs - he's making a killing, but I'm feeling at this moment that while initially the iPhone sales will probably do great, they will soon die down - leaving us looking back realizing the device was over-hyped. Who knows?
