RegEx aren't as user-friendly to write, so I'm surprised Apple hasn't encouraged the usage of microformats in their developer articles.

It looks like instead the iPhone will have auto-detection of phone numbers (so you can call with one touch) and addresses (so you can map the location via Google Maps). Still, Microformats would add so much more since you would have more complex detection features such as events. With one touch, add it to your calendar, sync it back with your desktop. Perfect. For BatchBook, an application that relies heavily on contact information, the possibilities make me drool.

So, I don't think it will rely on Microformats. I hope it does, though, because this autodetection does not cover things like visiting a page with an hCal event and adding it to your iPhone's calendar. Plus, hCard can be used to "aid" the auto-detection, which may or may not be perfect. Looks like the iPhone will have autodetection of phone numbers and addresses.

Open up a page, click to view the vcard (make call, email, etc), or click to add vcard to your contacts (Address Book). I think it is exciting to think about.

That never crossed my mind. But it would be so freakin' easy. If they'd let *US* add apps, a Brian Suda or a Tantek could whip this up in minutes. But the iPhone has an address book, a calendar, google maps. Crisskes this is the PERFECT application for Microformats. hCard and hCalendar are probably the most widely marked up micros, and would also be the most usable on the iPhone. Thanks for bringing this up. You know what? That never crossed my mind. But it would be so freakin’ easy. If they’d let *US* add apps, a Brian Suda or a Tantek could whip this up in minutes.
