New tools for developers are cool, too, says GigaOm, as the software opens "more options for payments... a vibrant paid web and a micropayment economy" among other stuff. Design Sponge Online says two of the coolest new apps are paint-selection tools from Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore that allow you to snap a picture of something and magically match it to a paint color from their collections.
Also getting raves is a new app from car-sharing service Zipcar that, Jalopnik reports, lets users find, reserve and control Zipcars from their phones.
"You can unlock the Zipcar from your phone rather than with the usual ZipCar ZipCard and even potentially control certain features of some cars, such as the horn, from the iPhone app.
They haven't yet announced full control of the steering from an iPhone yet."
