What Features Should Be Included With iPhone 3.0?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the not-that-apple-listens-to-consumers dept.

With the announcement coming tomorrow, Macworld has posted their top list of 15 features they would like to see in an iPhone 3.0 update. The list includes some things that people have been asking for since launch (like cut and paste) and things that were once there but have since been silently removed (like push notifications/background apps). With almost 2 years of time to grow and learn, what other things are woefully inadequate on Apple's popular handheld?

  3. Usable Navigation by PetoskeyGuy · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Google Maps on the phone is useless for actually getting somewhere. It draws a nice line but without turn by turn navigation or even detecting when you're off the path and re-calculating it's no good for driving.

    I know it says it's not meant for that but that strikes me as trying to cover up being inadequate with some after the fact documentation and legalese.
