- Copy and Paste
- Voice Note sound recorder (For Dictation etc)
- Xenon Flash for the Camera
- Bluetooth File Transfers and wireless modem use.
- Document Folder
- Youtube quality MP4 videos.
These are just some very basic things that I use all the time on my phone and they are pretty simple to use considering the ancient interface. The iPhone should be able to do these in a breeze. I guess the new 3rd Party App support will fix a number of these problems that I bet apple won't solve. I realize bluetooth transfers are probably a thing of the past now that everything will be over 3g / wifi but they already have bluetooth built in anyway?
Being able to use it as a bluetooth modem would also reduce the complaints about the Macbook Air.
Copy and Paste would be a killer App on the iPhone, I just don't get why they are ignoring it. I say this with experience, after traveling to Europe with an iPod touch. The ability to save specific information from a webpage or an email locally to a notes application or something and be kept there reliably offline. Or just pasting that information into another email or text message to send to someone else (and/or synced to your notes on Me.com?) So simple, yet so powerful! How can you really do that without Copy and Paste?
Now Just Fantasizing further…
With the Apple's strong foundations of youTube integration, iMovie and iChat, video would also be far more useful on an iphone than any other mobile device. With geotagging possibly as well!
A 3 megapixel or above camera with a xenon flash (or equivalent) would make digital compact cameras almost obsolete. Also... imagine using a compass within the iPhone and its fixed focal length lens (even if it had a zoom it could work as long as the meta data of the focal length is recorded), combined with gps and accelerometer (does an accelerometer already include a compass?) and possibly the focus distance data... Google could gather all those photos that are made public along with their meta data and map them onto google earth. Imagine that! A Time Machine like interface on Google Earth could allow you to track back in time in situations where photos overlap. We would see the world in the most amazing way.
Oh, and include one of these in the phone and its the only (non contraceptive) thing you will ever need in your pocket. And if your iPhone gets stolen? Well some remote gps tracking and system wiping software would be perfect.
