Monday 3rd March Apple introduces CarPlay, a new way to use the iPhone in your car. CarPlay allows the user to access Maps, Messages, Music, and make phone calls with a touch of the screen in your car. You can even press the voice button in your car to activate Siri. Please tell me there could be a separate head unit for my VW…
Let’s sort one thing out that none of this is revolutionary or the next big leap in car technology, instead Apple is launching a product that should actually work and make life more enjoyable whilst driving.
Getting speech recognition to work in a quiet room or with no wind whilst out walking is one thing but the tech that has to go into noise cancelling microphones so Siri would accurately work with voice commands is a whole other area.
So might look at this as an even more cut down iPhone display with mirroring for the controls but as with all things Apple it’s about getting it right so it works effectively and simply. There have been cars before with touch screens yet Ford has gone back a step to implement switches so there’s still a tactile contact area to refer to when driving.

The wall street journal as publishing extracts from “Haunted Empire: Apple After Steve Jobs” that just happens to be curated from an ex WSJ reporter Yukari Kane. Haunted Empire is to be taken with a pinch of salt given WSJ’s manipulation of stocks and views to suite their agenda.
Today is Steve Jobs’s birthday and if he was still with us he’d be 59. Steve was born on February 25th, 1955.

So those “Apple To Show Commercial During Superbowl Rumours” turned out to be a load of rubbish but what we did get was A trailer for 24: Live Another Day.
Granted a few seasons of 24 were a little wide of the mark and the dubbed synthesiser music became tedious especially during the last season yet 24 was still more than watchable.
Fox built anticipation for the new 24 trailer throughout Sunday (February 2) by releasing a series of short teasers.
24: Live Another Day opens with a two-hour premiere on May 5 in the US. It will air on Sky1 in the UK.
