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?"

  1. How about a delete user function? by Sir_Ace · · Score: 0, Troll


    That way all of you; GUI-loving, latte sipping, look-at-me look-at-me, yuppies can remove yourselves from the planet.

    If we were meant to be high tech we would have evolved to have cups attached to our ears, and strings between us...

    Have a rotten iDay.. Ohh wait, is that trademarked too?

  2. Oh, I Have a Suggestion! by morari · · Score: 0, Troll

    How about a microscopic explosive device, which is implanted into the skull of an iPhone 2.0 consumer upon use. Once a sufficient amount of people have been "tagged", we press the big red button back at HQ and watch in glee as everyone stupid enough to pay such a ridiculous price for a telephone dies a very messy death.

  3. That's why Apple makes iPod Touch by tepples · · Score: 0, Troll

    How about the ability to use it in the huge areas of the country that aren't covered by their one pitiful provider? A cynic would claim that it's not Apple's job to make sure you're covered; it's a real estate agent's job.

    If I bought one now, it'd be about as functional as an iPod, and I already have one of those... If Wi-Fi coverage is better than AT&T EDGE coverage where you live, Apple would like to interest you in iPod Touch. You can even use iPod Touch to watch YouTube from the closet.
