Techcrunch has been at the forefront of a rumored Nuance deal to power iOS and Mac's voice control scheme but there was not a peep about it at Apple's WWDC keynote yesterday. Nor was any mention of NFC or mobile payment.
Both of these were not expected to be announced. If they had, things would have gone through the roof. So, we'll have to rely on the folks who would dig through the new API in iOS 5 and see what they come up with. In the past, such efforts have yielded new information about hardware and new features.
I have been making my coffee and pastry purchases at Starbucks with the SB card app and I found that to be very convenient so I don't have to pull out my wallet. Between voice control and a more robust Siri or NFC, I rather with with voice.
We'll know in the fall after Apple releases the final version of iOS 5 and what new hardware will appear in the next iPhone. Until then we'll eagerly wait to see if there are hidden gems in the developer iOS versions.
