Zipcar announces new iPhone app, gives new meaning to "unlocked" cell phone

If you're not an Apple fanboy who's been hitting F5 repeatedly over on Engadget today, here's a green car tie-in from the big WWDC that's just wrapping up: your iPhone will soon be able to unlock the doors of your Zipcar rental vehicle. Yes, your phone can now tell your car what to do. It's only a matter of time before Dr. Horrible's remote control app becomes a reality.

Zipcar's Luke Schneider explained to the WWDC crowd that the new Zipcar app allows you to find a nearby and available car and reserve it for you. The app shows prices and we can see an "alerts" tab for, presumably, alerts. More details are not yet available, but you can find two more pictures after the jump and the rest of the Apple/iPhone news here.
