iPhone Sheep

You may not be able to jump up and down yet, but the iKey is on the drawing board at Apple. Apple’s computer whizzes are hard at work behind closed doors developing new technology that will actually allow you to open your car and the front door to your home all with your iPhone.

The app called at this time the iKey will rid your pocket and your purse of all those keys you have to carry around with you in order to unlock the car and even unlock your car.

The way it was explained is that the app will more than likely be installed on iPhones, which will give users the ability to use their iPhones like an electronic key. Users would need to enter a special pin code, wave their iPhone over the electronic pad beside the door, and “open sesame” the door will open.

A patent for the application has been filed by Apple in the United States.

Technology analysts have stated they believe this feature may be seen with the next iPhone. This technology works similar to access cards used for entry into various work places.

My opinion is that it actually sounds like you will have to purchase key pads for all the places you with the iKey to unlock. As the directions state you must wave the iphone over the pad. I do not believe it will work with regular locks on cars or doors. The idea may be astounding, but it does not sound visible unless everyone iPhone user wants to spend the extra money to make their homes and cars compatible with the iKey unlocking abilities.
