iPhone future roadmapped? E-mail
by Davey Winder   
Monday, 10 November 2008
OK, so we have already established that the iPhone of tomorrow will work as a TV remote and an alarm clock, but what else?

According to de la Vega, by the time it wakes you up in the morning it will have also have sent a message to your coffee maker to start your coffee brewing. During which time, you can turn your TV on and with a shake of the wrist read your news on the TV rather than on the iPhone.

Of course, some might argue that if you have the TV on then you could simply watch a live news broadcast, but let's not get into that. What else happens in this iPhone vision of the future?

Well, the iPhone locks your doors as you leave the house and unlocks the car as you approach it. It also acts as an ignition key for the car, and reads the news out loud as your drive.

The clever talking iPhone continues to impress at the office as it becomes some kind of Star Trek voice translator when you take a call from a Japanese speaking contact.

All according to someone who doesn't actually work for Apple and, one has to assume, has very little real insight into the iPhone research and development process.

Is it just me, or would anyone else actually just like an iPhone which can handle MMS, maybe do that cut and paste thing, even manage a little video recording like most other smartphones? Oh, and do all of this without the battery going flat after 10 minutes?

And did I mention fixing those security holes just a little bit more quickly?

So come on then, your turn: what would you like to see fixed right now to make the iPhone a better device, and what would you want in your vision of the iPhone future?
