http://tidbits.com/ iOS 6 provides maps with turn-by-turn directions, encourages Siri to provide more results, lets a lost phone’s finder call you, and gives you the option to sleep through annoying 2 AM calls. It’s due out in the third quarter of 2012, likely at the same time as the next iPhone model. en-us Copyright 2012 TidBITS Publishing Inc.

On the iPhone I have to hit the tabs button first, then swipe. What I'd like to do is just swipe.]]> http://db.tidbits.com/article/13056?rss#comments_14479 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 13:17:56 EDT http://tidbits.com/article/13056#comments_14479 http://db.tidbits.com/article/13056?rss#comments_14444 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 04:36:13 EDT http://tidbits.com/article/13056#comments_14444
I'd like to be able to swipe left and right on the current webpage to switch tabs. It seems like the most natural iPhone surfing "feature" to me.

But yet, here we are at iOS 6 and still no mention of anything like that. :(]]> http://db.tidbits.com/article/13056?rss#comments_14429 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 23:27:49 EDT http://tidbits.com/article/13056#comments_14429 http://db.tidbits.com/article/13056?rss#comments_14426 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 22:50:46 EDT http://tidbits.com/article/13056#comments_14426
But, there is no disruption in the home phone business. Look at the phone listings on Amazon for example: loads of look-alike candybar cordless handsets with charging bases. Why does nobody have a radio-equipped base with a wired, comfortable to hold, old-fashioned handset attached (to keep the radiation away from your brain)? No, they are *all* the same. Just like cellphones before the iPhone.]]>
