BMW fully integrates the iPhone
Sep.07, 2007 in
Technology
BMW group plans full integration for the BMW 6 Series, BMW 5 Series, BMW 3 Series, BMW 1 Series and BMW X5. All MINI models will get the integration as well.
The phone is connected to the operating system of the vehicle models. Music is transferred by means of a cable adapter that fits in the USB audio interface in the cars. There’s more to the integration; BMW has developed a joint platform for the phone and iPod function.
For MINI models, the iPhone function will be displayed in the display of the navigation system or in the radio unit, depending on availability. If a navigation system is installed, the joystick operating system can be used to access controls of the iPhone.
Connectivity for MP3 players had already become a ‘must’ with almost all automakers adding iPod connectivity to their lineup. Now, with BMWs integration of iPhone, a wave of iPhone integration may well be on its way.

Is the iPhone the IE4 of 2007?
Aug.22, 2007 in
Technology
I think part of the reason why Microsoft stopped developing IE is that the developers behind it got sick of being criticized for trying to innovate. Many of them left the IE team and moved over to the XAML project (aka WPF/Silverlight) so they could continue to do great work without being attacked for it. That is a shame, because I would have much rather seen the XAML concepts poured into HTML/CSS/JavaScript foundation. Meanwhile, the W3C produced jack squat during those same years. This is what we have to thank the Web Standards Project for.
The above quote is from Joe Hewitt’s post The IPhone Is IE4 Again (in a good way).
Joe rips into the people that are complaining about the new set of iphone.foo.com views that are out there. “Oh no! It will be like the powered by IE days!”.
