The iPhone features wishlist (wish list), Posted 06-10-2008, 09:02 AM #1
Kulang pa rin! Apple said they listened to their customers, but it looks like they ignored the feedback I sent in August last year! Here's a list of basic features the iPhone still lacks:

1. MMS
2. SMS forwarding
3. SMS vCard and vCal support (Business Card)
4. video recording
5. Bluetooth File Exchange

I don't think any of the above is too much to ask for, since none of them require additional hardware.

Still, the iPhone 3G is a fantastic phone.

One other feature I am hoping to see in future iPhones: a pressure sensitive multitouch screen, to give the virtual keyboard a physical tactile feel.

What's on YOUR iPhone 3G wish list?

 13" MacBook Pro 2.53GHz unibody 4GB 500GB • 21.5-inch iMac 3.06GHz • Mac mini Mid 2010 • 8GB (PRODUCT)™ RED nano 4th gen + Nike+ Sport Kit • 16GB iPhone 3GS • 2TB Time Capsule (not draft-n) + APExpress(n) • 32GB iPad WiFi+3G

Elbert, I've been reading conflicting reports regarding copy-and-paste functions. What's the word on this? Multitouch with copy-and-paste sounds brilliant.

User-facing secondary camera? Not that I use it much, but it's one of those things that can really use the new 3G speed.

The 5 items you mentioned are indeed very important for most of us. But I'm actually very excited just to see HSDPA on an iPhone and at an excellent price!

although it is just a software update away, a Haptic Keypad to provide a tactile feedback whenever typing things on the iPhone

i think all of the above features will be available via App Store

when everybody calls nokia... i answered iPhone; when people peek at windows... i stared at MAC; when humans aim w/ canon... i shoot with £eica; when they swim with padi... i dive with Naui; when all men wear Hanes... i wear none
