iPhone Features Requests

[MsErica]

I want a GPS very much as well. The sad part is by the time Apple comes out with it I'll probably have broken down and bought a great car model.

As a Mac user here's what I would want in my iphone GPS is the ability to plan a daily itinerary from my mac and have it synced automatically thru bluetooth.

So if on Tuesday I had to go to a meeting in Waltham, my aunt's house in Needham, the plumbing store in Newton and my italian class in Cambridge, I would simply enter those addresses in my mac and I'd go to the GPS and find them there.

The reason I want this is I type 80-100 words a minute on a keyboard so there's no way I want to spend any time putting addresses in a GPS.

I would assume (I hope correctly) that all the addresses from the Mac address book would be automatically synced to the phone and available thru the GPS.


Other useful features would be:

--The ability to easily answer the phone and return to the navigator by placing the call on hold. I currently am testing Verizon's VZ navigator on a motorola krazr, and I've found if I need to answer the phone or make a call, it exits the navigator and by the time I get back in I'm lost. Would be much better if I could place the call on hold for a moment with the navigator still running to find out where to turn next.

--Automatically inputting the state where you are as a first option when entering an address. The Verizon program keeps guessing Maine when I put in M. Then Maryland. Only after I type Mas through the cumbersome keyboard do I get Massachusetts!

I'm sorry but you don't even know what you're talking about here... 5 MP is virtually impossible unless you increase the size of the lens, thus increasing the size of the phone. Video is hard enough to do for an image sensor... You can do 30 fps but you have to reduce resolution...

Camcorders aren't the size that they are for no reason...

There's a volume control on the side. You want a volume control on the screen? I think it has one of those when playing music from what I remember of the keynote.

multiple email accounts

I was under the impression this was already supported.

So in other word, future iphone will never have at least a 5.0MP cam recorder since obviously they would not expand the size.

Add A2DP (stereo bluetooth) to your list. I can't believe it doesn't have that already.

Me neither! Guess we'll find out very soon.

I agree with having other apps available on the iPhone, I'm sure they will have it if there's demand. My mother is a realtor and didn't want the iPhone because her other phone allowed the program, AgentOffice to be used on there. After she saw the demo and is not liking our current service provider, we're switching and purchasing iPhones. I definitely think other apps provide incentive for non-Mac users to look into the iPhone.

[quote=reptilexcq;8378]1.3G a must
2.GPS a must w/ Google (i heard it will be included in 2.0)

I am hoping 2.0 means update and not 2nd generation??. I love gps capabilties and feel it is long over due in smart phones.
