and i dont really agree with the lack of physical keyboard being a problem. sure, its not quite as good for typing long emails but its fine for SMS and its part of what makes the thing so slick to use.]]>Jul 8th 2007 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/Jul 8th 2007 6:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/
Like duh, is that iPhone's or Google Maps' fault at all.

Stupid is as stupid does.]]>Jul 8th 2007 8:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/Jul 8th 2007 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/Along with 3G.. And no AT&T

As for the storage debate.. Sure, or course they could shove 32GB of flash memory into the iPhone. And I am sure that the employees at Apple thought about that option. However, they do not want to chip away at iPod sales. They want the iPhone to do well, and considering that the iPod nano is one of the best selling MP3 players in the world, space is obviously not a large issue in the MP3 Player market..

Its not a matter of possibility, its a matter of business.. If you need lots of storage, you should get a 6th gen ipod.. Thats what iPods are for!]]>Jul 8th 2007 10:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/Jul 8th 2007 11:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/
As for what it needs:
Let me turn the screen/keyboard ANYTIME, not just for typing in browser. SO much better typing.
Open SDK.
Make it less slippery (forced to get a case basically).
MUCH louder ringtones and stronger vibrate feature.
Bluetooth file transfer.
Bluetooth keyboard and be able to edit documents
Enable disk use. If I have 8 gigs in my pocket why can't I use it?.
My music/clips as ringtones. Heck, limit to 30 sec portions for all I care.]]>Jul 9th 2007 1:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/
1. Cheaper price, the sooner the better.
2. Bigger Flash storage, the sooner the better.
3. Landscape keyboard and landscape functionality on ALL iPhone apps.
4. 3rd party onboard games.
5. Make ringtone feature.
6. Adobe Flash in Safari.
7. Pay-as-you-go, i.e. no contract with a monthly unlimited data plan for $20.
8. 3MP camera.
9. 3G for Europe.]]>Jul 9th 2007 10:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/
Okay technically it doesn't do what the idiot wants it to do.. still not their fault that he purchased it with out really understanding anything about technology. Does any devices have up to minute live satelite photo feeds.. so that you can see what spaces are open at the car park?? I dont think you can blame that Apple or Google.. thats not how those services work and they never said that it did that. ]]>Jul 9th 2007 10:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/Jul 8th 2007 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/Jul 8th 2007 7:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/Jul 8th 2007 8:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/Jul 8th 2007 8:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/Jul 8th 2007 9:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/

I am looking forward to a WiFi enables iPod 6G.. With "full" safari, google maps, youtube.. All the iPhone stuff.. Minus the phone and edge!

No, this is an iPhone limitation. If I decide to use POP, for whatever reason, I need to be able to access that information on my main workstation as well as my portable device. The iPhone is not a replacement of my desktop, it is an extension and needs to work like that.

I understand IMAP resolves these limitations, but that is a workaround, not an answer.]]>Jul 8th 2007 7:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/Jul 8th 2007 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/Jul 8th 2007 7:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/Jul 11th 2007 4:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/Jul 8th 2007 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/Jul 8th 2007 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/Jul 9th 2007 10:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/
Didn't you guys report that it was only like $200 to produce a 4 gig iPhone?

I'd be much more inclined to buy one if it weren't $499 for a phone that costs half that to produce. I'm all for profit, but this seems a little excessive to me. But I don't actually know if it IS excessive - maybe most consumer electronics have profit margins this huge, and I just thought they didn't. ]]>Jul 8th 2007 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/Jul 8th 2007 6:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/Jul 8th 2007 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/
The iPhone does seem to recognize javascript actions (the only evidence I have of this is the Myspace "Edit My Top Friends" page - if you hold your finger down for a moment over a friend, it'll pop up a little window saying 'Action' on it), so there may be a way around needing a shift key, in a software update. Perhaps holding your finger down for two seconds or so, without moving it, sets the click into 'interact' mode.

Other than that, I'm quite happy with the thing.]]>Jul 8th 2007 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/
I'd also make the device and screen slightly narrower and the screen slightly longer to create a 16:10 or 16:9 display rather than the 3:2 one. I'd also make it slightly thicker with a larger battery and texture it so it would feel more secure in the hand. Then add 3G and GPS of course. :-)]]>Jul 8th 2007 8:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/Jul 8th 2007 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/08/how-would-you-change-the-iphone/
a- in the addresses; e.g. "CEO Apple Computer" and result is "Steven Jobs; 408-...".

b- Search in Emails would be great, too!!

2- Of course (like many others said before me) UMTS

3- Full UTF-8 conformity (Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi, etc.)

4- Copy and Paste

5- Email should not be loaded completely, if I do not ask for that

6- If I read my Email on my Mac, I do not want to read it again on the iPhone]]>Jul 26th 2007 8:51PM
