      1iPhone Wants and Needs

      1

      Navigating the virtual keyboard is much easier on the wider screen, and the e-mail, SMS, Notes and Calendar applications would be that much better with landscape support.

      2iPhone Wants and Needs – 2. Missing Applications

      2

      I want the ability to edit or create documents, to browse for files or documents, and to save data just like a USB drive.

      3iPhone Wants and Needs – 3a. Lightweight DataSync Application

      3

      Requiring the full iTunes application with its four processes and need for 75 MB of memory is almost criminal. Give us a small tool so we can sync our calendar and contacts from a second computer.

      4iPhone Wants and Needs – 3b. DataSync Service

      4

      In the absence of a lightweight sync tool, allow customers to sync Outlook-based calendars and contacts to the .mac service, and create a way to synch iPhone applications with .mac. Id pay a couple bucks a month for that service.

      5iPhone Wants and Needs – 4. Better WiFi Security

      5

      Throw in some 802.1x and PEAP support so we can join a tightly secured wireless network, IT gods permitting.

      6iPhone Wants and Needs – 5. EDGE Radio Controls

      6

      I can turn the WiFi radio off individually. Why not the EDGE radio?

      7iPhone Wants and Needs – 6. Better Accessories

      7

      I need a case that has a place to store the earbuds. Wrapping the cord around an iPod was OK, but now its my phone and sometimes I need to get to it quickly. And come to think of it, those earbuds dont fit me well at all.

      8iPhone Wants and Needs – 7. Ringtones

      8

      OK, theres a hack out there for this. But I dont want to have to hack my phone just to make ringtones from my own music.

      9iPhone Wants and Needs – 8. Battery

      9

      Having to ship the unit back to the factory to get a new battery is bad enough, but the rental fee for a temporary replacement iPhone is exorbitant. Work out a deal with AT&T so customers could rent a generic device, with a minimal cost built into the bat

      10iPhone Wants and Needs – 9. Voice Dialing

      10

      To get in compliance with hands-free driving laws, voice-activated dialing is a must.

      11iPhone Wants and Needs – 10. Bluetooth File Transfer

      11

      The Bluetooth radio is pretty limited compared to, er, every other device out there. Solve problem #2, and then this will be more critical.
