So, the much anticipated iPhone 3.0 OS is due to hit the iTunes store in the coming months, and still the rumour mill is churning out half truths and downright false predictions, but no one's sure how much truth there is the latest rumour ~ that the latest version of iPhone could feature voice control.
Apparently titled, Jibbler, the rumoured program appears to be "an enhancement to the iPhone SpringBoard application, the Finder-esque app that acts as a launcher and will support the newly announced 3.0 Spotlight search."
Obviously with this not being confirmed by Apple, things are still ropey as to whether it will be included in the iPhone, or if it even exists. But...If it is fo' realz, it could be controlled by an iPhone headset, using the integrated button to record short audio clips which Jibbler can then intepret. These audio clips could then be used to respond to the user,(not dissimilar from the latest iPod shuffle, which can "read" playlists and track names—the difference being that the iPhone hardware itself could handle real-time voice synthesis.
Now people will definitely know that people have an iPhone, not by the fact they're wearing flip flops in winter, or drinking a skinny wet mochafrappahalffatcino, but because they're now screaming into their phones even more than normal...
