What Do You Want In iPhone 2.0?

Posted by Zonk on from the you-know-its-coming dept.

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?"

    What I'd like is:

    1) Free of AT&T
    2) VOIP, used by default when WiFi is available
    3) Designed as an open platform to be modified easily (custom apps, alternative firmware, etc)

    Of course, that will never happen.
