Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
6. Better Bluetooth
What happened to Bluetooth? There’s still no A2DP that I can see for wireless stereo Bluetooth headsets and no profile so a wireless keyboard can be used with the iPhone for even easier data entry. C’mon Apple, you’re crippling the iPhone – wireless stereo headphone listening would be cool. But the specs make no mention of it...
What happened to the 32GB iPhone 3G? It’s missing, that’s what. There’s a 32GB iPod Touch, but no 32GB iPhone. Perhaps it will come later this year, just like the 16GB 2G iPhone and 32GB iPod Touch arrived late last year.
Still, it would have been nice to see it now – plenty of people would have gone straight for that model. 8GB and 16GB doesn’t cut it in a world of 160GB iPod Classics.
8. A removable battery.
Apple, you’ve managed to increase battery life, but that doesn’t mean that I still don’t want a removable battery. It’s such a simple thing – what’s the big deal? Yes, you can buy batteries that can connect to the dock connector to recharge the main battery, but I’d rather carry around a spare charged battery instead. But this will probably never change.
9. Haptic feedback
Feeling a slight ‘vibration’ when you press on-screen virtual keys is something that’s standard on quite a few other touch-screen phones. Maybe it chews through too much battery life, and maybe Apple’s saving it for the iPhone 3.0. But I’d still like to see – and feel it.
10. MMS messaging.
Yes, I know that I can send an email to someone with a photo attached. But what if I want to send a photo as an MMS to a non-iPhone owning friend? Can’t do it, or at least, no MMS capability was mentioned. Perhaps an App Store app will bring this feature, but it should be part of the iPhone software as standard.
11. Other stuff - turn-by-turn voice GPS, FM radio, Voice recording etc etc etc etc!
Hey, this is supposed to be a top 10 list, right? Ah well. What about support for Flash, or Java? Other browsers? Voice recording? An FM radio? And is the GPS going to have turn-by-turn voice navigation? Will Google enable that? Or will it be something to purchase from the App Store?!
What do you want from iPhone 3.0? What other features are missing? Let me know!
