Inside Line iPhone App: The Walkaround Video

You guys do know that there are more android devices out there than iOS devices right? I use both, not talking ish. Just sayin'.

I use neither and that way there is no spying on me by Apple or anyone else. If you dont think that the secret programs on smart phones to keep track of your every move is not an incredible inroad on personal liberty, you guys are CRAZY. Turn off the fone!

Jennifer,

Please finish the Android version before this decade is over.

Thanks,
Ralph

It would be nice to be able save the photos as a wallpaper. Otherwise I like the app.

An Android version of this app completed at the current part of this decade would be greatly appreciated.

Do you think the IL app will track what you read and post?

@ bb

You realize that if you use a mobile phone, that your service provider can track of the location of the device/calls made, right? And that law enforcement has used such information in many criminal cases right? So really, if someone really wanted to, they could keep track of your every move even if you just have an ordinary cellphone. Go put your foil hat back on.

back on topic: iWould get this app if iHad an iPhone.

another vote for android.... also would love to see used car pricing/specs on the regular Edmunds app. I have downloaded it, but I would find it far more useful if I could spec/price used cars as well.

TP3.

the info being stored in I phones and I pads is much more complete than what you discussed...and yes I did know that. It also tracks info like texts and when and where they were made and also apps that were used and when and where. The point is that nobody KNEW about this feature (outside of some law enforcement and Apple and other smartphone makers) AND with the device the Michigan cops are using to extract that info on the spot with no warrent peoples rights are being violated. Also your location is being tracked even when you are not on the phone and the cops are using that info. Ordinary cell phones only show your location when you make a call. Do you think it is right for the government to keep track of your every move and use that against you without a warrent? Do you think it is right that phone makers dont tell users about this feature?

This is not a foil hat issue...it is a civil rights issue. Dont ever be complacent when the government wants more control over your personal life.

"This is not a foil hat issue...it is a civil rights issue. Dont ever be complacent when the government wants more control over your personal life."

Amen.

Americans are losing their liberty one government program and one more cool electronic device and one more Internet cookie at a time......that dripping noise you hear is your freedom being stolen from you without youi knowing it.

Here is the BS reason Apple is doing this.....it is chilling really....."We MUST have comprehensive data"

I know this app is intended for newer phones, but its a real shame it won't load on my iPhone 3G. It doesn't get past the load screen and crashes every time.

As for viewing your site on the iPad, I've never had a problem. Of course the flash content doesn't work, but I don't generally view that info anyways.

@ bb

NYTimes says the tracking thing might be a bug:

And David Pogue has, imo, a pretty good opinion piece on the whole story:

To be honest, I don't see what the big issue is, as I have nothing to hide. I haven't heard about the govt using any of this information against someone w/out a warrant (please enlighten me and post links), and as for Michigan cops, well, don't they have some more important issues to be dealing with in that state? Like, actual crimes?

As for Apple's reason, it is perfectly legitimate, not BS. To use all the GPS-related apps, they need to know your location, and you agree to this at the very beginning when you turn on an iPhone. Same applies to Android. The fact that they know where you are isn't surprising. The only new thing here is that it stores the info on your phone and PC.
