iPhone future: Throw tomatoes, preview your commute, more

Monday, Sept. 15, 2008 -- 10:31 p.m. -- out and about

TomatoYou think 2.1 is amazing? Check out what's coming/possible on the iPhone.

AT&T showed off some prototypes Monday and the iPhone was one of the stars of the show. One app, called Splat, allowed users to throw a virtual tomato at the TV. Actually, the technology lets you throw anything with real results, like a baseball hitting and creating the illusion of broken glass.

Practical? Maybe not. Cool? You betcha.

Another app showcased allowed someone to see his entire commute on a TV by superimposing cameras over the route.

Another was a remote control that showed TV shows and allowed for voice-activated recording (actually I created that in my mind before AT&T ... they just created it).

Yet another one showed a card game where the iPhones acted as a vehicle to throw virtual cards on a table, which in this case was a TV.

We always knew that the iPhone was capable of amazing things. This event shows the scope.

I'm sure this isn't coming in 2.2, but give it time. Sounds like it will be worth the wait.

What do you think? Let me know in the comments.

Thanks for calling.

Or maybe the apps are already here and we just cant search for them. Hmmm....

SCOTT'S REPLY: Yep. That's what I was trying to get at.

This has me totally baffled. What exactly are you talking about here? Does this have something to do with that U-verse stuff?

SCOTT'S REPLY: Yes, yes indeed ... connection to video services. That's right, Misty.
