What Do You Want In iPhone 2.0?

Ian Lamont writes "The predictions about the iPhone being a bust have so far been way off the mark, but that doesn't mean the device is perfect. Besides the dependence on the AT&T Edge network and the lack of an iPhone SDK, there are a boatload of UI, software and hardware issues that should be addressed in the next-generation iPhone. Some complaints include GPS functionality, allowing iPhones to be used as hard drives, adding RSS support, and turning auto-correct into auto-complete. What would you want to see in the next generation of iPhone?"

    I want to be able to change my voice when I call people.

    Options must include:

    Barry White

    Megatron
    Gary Coleman
    Jerry Lewis
    R2D2
    Bobcat Goldthwait
    Herve Villavechaize
    Smeagol (post-ring)

    I'd switch to AT&T for that.

    Hell, I'm still waiting for iPhone 1.0 to give me a blow job. For another $600, iPhone two better come with a twin.

    Well said, sonny!

    Now why'd you moderators mod this fine, upstanding young man a "troll"? As can be seen from his subject line, he just wishes all of us to embrace the the principles of carpooling! Frankly, we need more of his kind! None of this mamby-pamby talk about Global Warming, just get out there and make sure your car is full ! This kind of lead-from-the-front can-do attitude is our best bet to lick this yet!

    What Do You Want In iPhone 2.0?
    • No more hype.
    • No more insane amount of articles over a phone that just happened to come from Apple.
    • No more people talking to me about how they had to wait for Apple to release a iPhone, and then they didn't release it in the UK when they released it in the US, so they had to buy it off ebay or something and how it's so special because it doesn't have buttons.

    User replaceable battery - one big DUH. When your average CxO decides to talk on his phone all weekend, it is a nice thing for him/her to carry an extra battery.

    A pony? Why do you want to lock yourself into some DRM-crippled equine variant? If it doesn't have full unicorn options, it's nothing less than Micro$oft in disguise.
