Today was the Keynote and it brought some more sought after features to the iPhone OS. The main ones are multitasking, Folders for organizing apps, unified inbox for multiple e-mail accounts, and finally wallpaper on the home screen. There are also a few more things on the back end for developers. The keynote should show up on Apple’s website sometime tonight and I’ll post a link when it does.

In the meantime Engadget has loaded the beta of the OS on an iPhone 3GS showing some of these new features in action.

I’ve been using Google Voice for a little over a month now and I’m really liking it. The one big problem with it, is the fact that it is hard to explain to people. I’m going to do my best here with some videos/screenshots to give people an idea of what it does. When I first heard about Google Voice, my first thought was that it was another voip service like skype and the others out there. Instead, it is a series of services that can be applied to your existing phone services. You can choose to get a new Google voice number that gives you access to everything or you can use your current number and have access to just a few of the features. I looked into both options and decided that getting a google voice number was the way to go mainly for two reasons. The first was the ability to have unlimited texting for free and the 2nd is that if I happen to switch phone providers for any reason I just simply update my google voice settings and do not have to give out another phone number.

Here is a video put together by google that explains the basics of what Google Voice and what it does.

Here are a few more showing some of the specifics of my favorite functions.

Unfortunately, Apple hasn’t allowed the Google Voice app on the iPhone, so you have to use a few work arounds to get it to work. Google has provided a web app that you can bookmark to your home screen. It will open up Safari and give you access to the dialer, texting, voicemails. I’ll create a new post on how I’ve setup text message through google voice to push through the iPhone. As of right now Google Voice is invite only, but you can request to be invited on their page. Here are a few screenshots I’ve take on my iPhone showing the web app in action.

Lastweek Jawbone held a contest on their fan page for two free Jawbone Icon bluetooth headsets. They wanted you to go to a store that sells them and take a picture of the Icon headset on display. Shortly after reading about it Sarah wanted to go to Best Buy, so I figured I would take a picture and enter for fun. We went to Best Buy and they were actually sold out of the Icon headset. I decided to go ahead and take a picture of the empty rack and still give it a shot.

The drawing was planned for Monday, but for some reason they delayed it a few days, but it ended up being worth the wait. They only had about 12 entries and the were giving away 2 headsets, so my chances were pretty good. By some miracle I was the 2nd name drawn and won! I’ve been doing some reading up on the Icon and they have a special app for the iPhone and all sorts of other features that I’ve never seen on a bluetooth headset.

I was asked which Icon model I would like and I chose the rouge which is a dark red color. I thought that would be nice instead of the traditional black of most headsets. A video of the drawing can be seen on their fan page.

Here is the picture I used to enter the contest and a picture of the rouge model.
