GPS is built in. Location services “is
going to be a really big deal.” “It’s gonna explode.” They get location
data from cell towers, Wi-Fi and GPS. Using GPS data, they can do
tracking.jobs is showing someone driving down Lombard street–that
really squiggly street in SF–and the dot for his location squiggles
around as he’s driving (it’s a recorded video).

“We’re doing this with great battery
life.” The 3G iPhone’s standby is 300 hours. 2G talk time is up to 10
hours from 8 hours. 3G talk time is 5 hours. (Jobs says other phones
have about 3 hours.) Browsing, 5-6 hours of 3G browsing. Video is 7
hours, and audio is 24 hours.
