AT&T’s main man says extra applications from Google will be on the iPhone. Click to enlarge 1 of 1 Apple's got more apps to fill that menu, specifically, from Google... [more images]We’ve been wondering about the iPhone’s applications for a while, but now it’s been confirmed – the handset will come with more than we’ve seen so far.
AT&T, the iPhone’s sole provider in the US, has gone on record saying more Google apps in particular will be present on the handset.
We’ve already seen Google Maps, and very swish it is too, but now AT&T’s president of national distribution Glenn Lurie says they’ll be accompanied by others from the house of Google.
Exactly what they are, he’s not saying. Our money is on Google News or Google Reader, for staying up to date on the move. Maybe there’s an iPhone version of Blogger in the works, potentially woven into a mobile iWeb. Perhaps Google Calendar will integrate fully with the handset’s iCal support. The potential is endless.
Speaking to the Seattle Times Laurie said the handset’s touchscreen would also surprise people. “I think when people get their hands on it and really experience it — the touch screen is phenomenal,” he said.
“This touch screen is like nothing you've ever used — to experience that, the scepticism, I think… will go away.”
T3 got some hands-on time with iPhone just after it was announced, and we can confirm the touchscreen is indeed phenomenal. Check out our hands-on report here.
In the meantime, we’re waiting like everyone else for news on the iPhone’s UK release. Updates right here as soon as we hear them.
