I don't support I could really see the week out without posting something about the iPhone.
I have been thinking of the various reasons why the iPhone might win over other devices and also what things might enable it to do this when much cheaper phones (with contracts) can do similar things.
1. Allow 3rd Party Widgets
The iPhone comes with some built in "widgets" that will display stocks, weather information and other small applications such as the good old calculator. Without some form of 3rd party widget support, the iPhone may not appeal to some. But as Steve Jobs says, allowing unrestricted apps onto the iPhone may make it not work properly though. He makes sense I suppose.
2. Works with all iPod accessories
Make sure the iPhone works with all the current iPod accessories! Docks, external batteries, remote controls etc. The established market for these products is huge and important!
3. Unlock it!
Make sure we can use it without a SimLock. As apple says, bad guys might unlock it. Come on bad people! We need this thing unlocked!
4. Video
Allow us to dump any video on there. I know there is a slew of softwares that convert divx and wmv to MP4 video, but I want it built in to iTunes please!
5. GPS those maps!
It's a mobile, it's got Google Maps, so why can't we triangulate the signal from the nearest mobile beacons and show me where I am!
Just my early morning thoughts really...
I kinda think I don't want one. But I do!
