Gps

A different type of GPS (already required for 911 support) uses cell phone transmitter towers instead of satellites to locate your position. This would be a great way to add GPS to the iPhone.
 
I would LOVE to have

1. GPS
2. Office (something that works with Word)
3. More games

Hey - is there anyone with a desktop and laptop who's selling the laptop when this comes out?
 
a program that uses a voice synthesizer to insert random comments during a conversation. You could set the level of vulgarity, sex/age/tone of voice, etc.

and it could record snippets of your conversation and use them to inject into your current conversation.

Another offshoot of that would be to enhance your voice so you sound like yoda.

I would LOVE that. :D

I think i'm going to patent that.
 
i'd like to have gps too, but at the same time, using your phone as a navigator can be quite a handful. imagine driving in a unfamiliar area, depending totally on your navigator, and suddenly, someone calls you. you might be ejected from the navigator to be able to pick up the call.
and you'd be lost...
at least, that's what happens to me with my orbit.
 
all these responses and not one mention of voice dialing. I need to have a way to call my contacts while driving.

It was kind of mentioned on the first page... with someone referring to RBS...

anyway, iChat for me. Also Skype.
 
They need the discovery channel so I can watch Mythbusters. They do have comedy central so I could watch the daily show and the colbert report! ON MY PHONE! (I think that it would take G3 thought)
 
• Something along the lines of Handyshopper
• Medical Tracking type app (2 kids with medical issues - i need to track a bunch of stuff and none of the current Palm apps are perfect either :( )
 
If the iPhone had an Infra-Red emmiter...:rolleyes:
...This thing would make an awsome Universal Remote Control!:D
 
An AIM app like ADUIM/ichat only, it uses the internet, and you can't get charged text messages for every IM. Besides that I'd like to see
* An application, so all you have to do is plug your usb cord into a dvr and transfer your favorite tv shows/movies
* Itunes on the iphone
* Widgets
* Simple older games with a small keyboard on the bottom... for instance sim city or Tomb raider...
* And a photobooth option
* Oh and finally, a TI 89 Graphing calculater emulator so i can do all my algebra, calc, and graphing on it!

Note: I don't have an iphone yet....
 
The killer app -- that would bring in other people who are holding off on buying it would be --- Blackberry Client and/or GoodLink client on it.

This would allow droves of people who work for corporations to have direct access to their corporate email using the restrictions that are in place. They do not have access to POP / IMAP / ACTIVESync -- as the firewalls are not opened for it ... and nor will they be opened -- no matter what.

Of course Apple would want to control the quality of the Goodlink / Blackberry Client software to ensure it is not a dog / or crashes the iPhone OS -- but this would be THE KILLER APP functionality on the the iPhone.

What would be nice too to make the Safari Browser KILLER is instead of EDGE we get 3G. To do 3G though ... Apple would need to increase battery life.

For example my Blackjack today -- if in 3G mode -- will barely get me through an 8 hour work day (with me only receiving emails from work on it via GoodLink). If I switch to the EDGE network mode instead only -- I can get the phone to go over 2.5 to 3 days instead with me getting all my corporate email. Thus I keep my Blackjack on EDGE mode only unfortunately.

Would have been nice for Apple to have 3G built in with option for user to select which network mode they want to use and thus the power drain they will experience.

The additional benefit of this would be exposing another huge market group to the Apple OS experience. Imagine ... if these people used the iPhone MAC OS every day ... wouldn't you start seeing more Apple Desktop / Laptops being looked into at corporations -- initially as test machines to see if they work alright .. and then get rolled out actually ... I think you'd have a better chance of deeper market penetration then -- especially to a group of people that won't look at it otherwise (the Mac OS) ... because they are like lemmings who follow what is in place ... unless they see something and experience it first hand.
