    Hi,

    The following just showed up in my mailbox, and I thought I'd share:

    >Delphi is coming out with an incredible service which allows your iPhone to function as your car remote - allowing you to use your iPhone to lock your doors, start your engine, change
    >the temperature, check if your lights are off, and much more. I won't be surprised to find it in the App Store when the 2.0 FirmWare is released.

    How cool is that! And no, I have absolutely no idea how it will work or if it will work on F-cars.

    Cheers,
    Ian

    Well, I remember being stunned in to near shock when I read the original list of cars that had direct to stereo iPod connections and Ferrari f360 was on the list!! It was like one of 5 cars that did that. Seems someone WAY up in the company had an iPod and loved the idea.

    Apple and Ferrari? Think of the possibilities!

    ..or this could be used as a tool for auto thieves to boost your car by implementing a simple hack.

    +1, though I'm sure they will consider this during product development. ;)

    Slightly off topic but does anyone know when the iPhone replacement will be released? I want to get an iPhone but I want to wait instead of buying one and then hearing that I suddenly have "the old one"

    The keynote for WWDC is on June 9th, gizmodo has "confirmed" that Jobs will announce the 2nd gen 3G iPhone during the keynote. There is also a rumor that AT&T will subsidize the cost of the iPhone, I'm holding off to see if they actually will, but either way I'm getting one this summer.
