- inactive, on 11/15/2007, -12/+129I don't understand why anyone is surprised by this. Remember when everyone used to complain that the iPhone didn't have ringtones and a Wifi Store. Well guess what, now we have ringtones and a Wifi Store (and space bar double tap for periods). No one stopped long enough from bitching about the SDK to think to themselves, hey, they delivered new software functions. Maybe they're planning more. Oh no, it's easier to bitch and moan and accuse, three to four months into a product's life cycle.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: We live in the Age of Instant Gratification. People in other parts of the world are worrying about how they're going to get their next meal and we, here in America, worry ourselves to death about a damn phone. - deadbaby, on 11/15/2007, -2/+81Some stuff I'd like to see:
-Copy & Paste
-Gestures
-Full Bluetooth stack, stereo audio, file transfer, keyboard, GPS, etc
-Flash
-iChat
-Direct podcast downloading
-iTunes Radio / Video streaming
-Icons for artists (the list looks so drab compared to the Albums list)
-Visualizations
-Text-to-Speech
-Sports Score widget (or a general purpose Dashboard implementation) - salmonmoose, on 11/15/2007, -1/+42I heard cut, AND copy.
No paste yet though. - Wailord, on 11/15/2007, -1/+39Article doesn't mention any new features that even _may_ be coming, but it's still nice to hear that there's more to come.
- gravis86, on 11/15/2007, -1/+26For some reason I found myself reading that in a Forrest Gump accent.
- vinblackham, on 11/15/2007, -5/+25please add MMS...email's great, but MMS is so much easier! Video would be sick too!
- Firehed, on 11/15/2007, -4/+21I heard free service for everyone, a 3G upgrade, and the dock-connector money printers are already being shipped out.
- blurrie, on 11/15/2007, -2/+17ichat please.
video please.
mms please. - staticdrifter, on 11/15/2007, -0/+15I would also add find option in safari and search for email.
- brutalentropy, on 11/15/2007, -0/+14Lieutenant Dan bought some stock in some fruit company, said we don't have to worry 'bout money no more.
- Firehed, on 11/15/2007, -2/+16How is MMS any easier? Just add your buddies' text emails (8005551212@vtext.com, etc) into your address book if it bothers you. Trust me, I'd rather waste the five seconds it takes to add that into the contact once than to be charged fifty cents every time I send someone a crappy picture.
- ritchmaster, on 11/15/2007, -42/+54i luv u apple
- KeepSwinging, on 11/15/2007, -0/+10A news widget would be great too. There's so much potential in that little case.
- dustinmacdonald, on 11/15/2007, -1/+11What? How does Nintendo 'going AAC' have anything to do with games, let alone Nintendo games, on the iPhone?
- IvanB, on 11/15/2007, -3/+12I heard more bluetooth support and video camera.
- frankietears, on 11/15/2007, -0/+9Sending it is no problem, but have you tried looking at one sent to you?
ViewMyMessage.com is the demon spawn from hell.
.... unless you enjoy flicking back and forth to memorize 9 digit alphanumeric logins and passcodes. - bruck, on 11/15/2007, -1/+9Needs search function for contacts - basically spotlight. I know they say its coming - but it needs it until it arrives. This will improve the phone functionality more than anyone can expect. Just talk to someone who uses a windows mobile phone about the quick search feature or pick up a device like the Moto Q. Start to type a name at the home screen - BAM! All apple has to do is add spotlight to the home button menu that they recently added when the itouch came out.
Imagine typing "Greg" and seeing greg's phone #, address, last email convo, last SMS convo right in front of you.... - jeru48, on 11/15/2007, -2/+10anyone actually read this story? It's basically lacking in any content or news -- "This just in, Apple can upgrade their software with a firmware update --- AND WILL!" I love the iPhone and Apple as much as the next guy, but this story is lame.
- Firehed, on 11/15/2007, -2/+9My old crap phone didn't even HAVE a spacebar, let alone one that would auto-insert periods for me. Can't say I was bothered dragging my finger over a quarter of an inch from the symbol button to add a period and tbh the new method will take some getting used to (just habit at this point), but I can't complain. All they need now is predictive punctuation.
- Ireland, on 11/15/2007, -1/+8Good one.
- richardhenry, on 11/15/2007, -0/+7And the UK! Don't forget we're all ***** over here too.
- Chewie67, on 11/15/2007, -0/+6Drunkenoaf (nice name) is right. That will be a new phone, not a software upgrade.
For a new phone, I'd like to see GPS as well.
Short of that, I like the fact that Apple is working on continually improving the existing iPhone, rather than just saying "Wait for iPhone 2.0" - blurrie, on 11/15/2007, -1/+7that'll be iphone 2.0. gotta keep them wanting more!
- threejump, on 11/15/2007, -0/+6wireless sync please
- drunkenoaf, on 11/15/2007, -0/+6That's one that ain't gonna be a software upgrade, sadly.
- Dotcommer, on 11/15/2007, -0/+5Well, with the right case.....
i guess anything is possible... - MJDub, on 11/15/2007, -0/+53G needs a different type of radio transmitter than what's in the iPhone. They did this in order to get better battery life. So no amount of software updating or complaining about it can give you 3G.
- kidcodea, on 11/15/2007, -0/+5mms is good, the telecom charging is not. dont blame it on the tech, blame it on the greedy *****
- stalefries, on 11/15/2007, -0/+5How would you go about doing the icons for artists?
- inactive, on 11/15/2007, -0/+5i want landscape txt mode (with a mini keyboard that doesn't fill half the screen , cant they make it just make it a decent size?) i hate having to txt on that tiny keypad. Also make it where when i have my bluetooth headset on and i check visual voicemail that they dont autoplay through the iphone, instead they should play through my headset, i always have to "select" headset. I agree the poster "deadbaby" above , alot of those features would be great. Id be happy with unrestricted bluetooth
- srg13, on 11/15/2007, -1/+5Hopefully at least you will be able to set it so you have to tap on a flash object before it loaded - I haven't yet needed flash in all the time I've owned an iPod touch, and I wouldn't want it most of the time either.
- hobbitaussie, on 11/15/2007, -2/+6Can do more != better. I have a BlackBerry, a Windows Mobile device (actually 3 blackberries and 6 WM devices) and the iPhone *is* the best at what it does.
- Firehed, on 11/15/2007, -0/+4I'd be very much content with MobileSafari RSS integration. Or a Google Reader app (the full version is rather awkward on the iPhone, and the mobile version is... well, bleh). Over-widgetizing things would just be silly when RSS is really a great solution for frequently updated content - news, sports, etc.
- andrewcsayer, on 11/15/2007, -2/+6Well there better bloody be.
- curiousvelocity, on 11/15/2007, -0/+4But people on the other side of the world are outside of my Monkeysphere.
- Firehed, on 11/15/2007, -1/+5TBH, if flash support comes (and I'm sure it will in time), I'll be making use of the "Plugins: Off" option in Safari prefs. The last thing I need to see on a 3" screen with a fairly low-bandwidth connection is more advertisements, and there are so few things that use it in a meaningful way to have me bothered with enabling it. Maybe on a site-by-site basis for the video sites out there
- Quix, on 11/15/2007, -0/+4If you need someone to do your homework for you, perhaps law school isn't your best choice...
- meatmcguffin, on 11/15/2007, -1/+5BBC's iPlayer lookslike it's coming to the iPhone. I can't wait
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/07/06/bbcs-ipla ... - sfrench, on 11/15/2007, -0/+43G and a proper SDK... once they release those two things, I'll be in line.
- drunkenoaf, on 11/15/2007, -2/+6He's only 12*. They think like that.
*probably. - acu8509, on 11/15/2007, -0/+4OH *****! DINOSAURS!!!!
*meteor* *meteor* *meteor* *ice age*
there we go. - PixelD, on 11/15/2007, -0/+4By who? You? Wii is moving from mp3 to AAC is for the cost of licensing. Its cheaper. Nothing to do with the Iphone, simple as that. Now go back to your little hole.
- diargasm, on 11/15/2007, -0/+4I agree with all of the suggestions here, but also fix the weak speaker phone.
- Billions, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3I know, that will be a welcome feature, although I haven't missed it as much as I thought I would when I realized it wasn't on the iPhone. It's so sickeningly obvious and it even hints at it when you start adding an e-mail address to the 'To:' area in a new e-mail, or when you're in safari and your bookmarks start showing when you begin to enter a webpage. There must have been a reason for the omission, maybe it wasn't ready at launch or something. Get with it, Apple, you're a master at this sort of functionality, stay the course!
- Willmonwah, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3This is totally legitimate. Apple's CFO or COO promised new features to be rolled out over time for free in their earnings conference call from a couple quarters back.
- JKVM, on 11/15/2007, -3/+6Amen to that. If only everyone would drop MMS support!
- phrozen755, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3ADD ADOBE FLASH!
- br0ken1128, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3I'd really just be happy to have some basic features added .. MMS would be nice, the ability to save pictures that people send me would be nice, iChat would be nice .. though I imagine it to be a battery killer ..
- Ricky8765, on 11/15/2007, -1/+4Speaking of the UK, I'm flying to London next summer and was wondering if I should bring some toothbrushes to hand out. Is it too late or can your country's teeth be salvaged?
- pyrates, on 11/15/2007, -1/+4If they add a feature in that a third party app already supplies, that new firmware is worthless to me. I only want a few things added:
Copy and Paste
Skype
Let me add my own damn ringtones
That's all for now. Everything else I've wanted I've gotten through third party apps. -
