The iPhone Gives Bad Pizza Advice

Posted by Adam Kuban, July 1, 2008 at 3:37 PM

So I just made a case for getting my greasy hands on a free developer iPhone 3G from Apple. One of my points was that Slice could help improve the device's pizza logic. I thought the thing only needed minor tweaking.

Turns out, it needs a lot of help. As Aaron Landry points out, the separate video that really gets down to the nitty gritty on the Maps with GPS feature shows Bob the iPhone Guy starting out in Brooklyn Heights. On Pineapple and Henry streets. He searches for pizza, and the iPhone defaults to John's Pizzeria in Times Square. Peep the map above. That's like 7.4 miles away.

And as Landry says, Bob passes a number of great pizzerias along the way. Check out Landry's insightful post about it. It's great stuff.

See, Apple, this is why you should GIVE ME AN IPHONE. So Slice can help you work out these bugs. Bob's demo video, after the jump.
