What I Want to See in iPhone 2.0

Started by Daniel Miessler · 7 months ago

I am still very happy with my first generation iPhone, but I can’t wait to upgrade. Here’s a short list of things I hope it has, sorted by “mandatory” and “would be nice”. These are in addition to the things we already ... Continue reading »

    Wouldn't video chat require that the camera pointed to the face of the camera? Wouldn't that make using it as a camera or video recording device difficult? I can just about guarantee that they're not going to put any moving parts on it. I suppose they could have two lenses for the camera, but I seriously doubt it. Actually, video chat would be cool, and I'd be OK if they replaced ALL camera features with it. I just don't get wanting ti capture 4 or 6 MP of information with a tiny phone-camera lens. The pictures wouldn't be significantly better than the current ones. If you want to take quality pictures or video get a camera or video camera.


    I have my own list of things I want to see:


    <ol>
    <li>Some scale information on the maps.</li>
    <li>The ability to view location pins for our own list of things (like a set of contacts or all contacts). This would be at least as useful as being able to see seafood restaurants.</li>
    <li>Some scale information on the maps.
    (Seriously, the maps would be MUCH more useful.)</li>
    </ol>

    Actually, the dual lenses is the rumor. :)


    Good point about being to have permanent contact anchors within the map app.

    Here's a basic one: 3G.


    Is that a done deal now?


    Another: Dvorak Keyboard :)

    Yes, the 3G is a done deal; that's why it wasn't mentioned.

    That's a good list. I would move Flash to Would be Nice and move true GPS to mandatory. A couple of things I really want to see are:


    Bluetooth headphone profile
    Bluetooth keyboard profile - I have an Apple Wireless Keyboard. I'd love to take the iPhone and the keyboard with me when I go out of town to take notes. I might not need to bring a laptop with me.
    Infrared - for exchanging contacts with other phones and so I can use my iPhone as a universale remote.
    More options in iTunes for syncing photos
    A bigger video selection dialog in iTunes
    Nike+ compatibility (I read this will probably be in 2.0)
    Flash storage adapter so I can backup photos from my digicam
    Integrated taser (just kidding)
