What do users want in iPhone 3.0?

Are you an iPhone user? If so, what do you want to see different in your phone?

There are many rumors around the top features of iPhone 3.0. Apple has announced in their website that iPhone 3.0 will introduce over 100 features. Some of them are :

  • Search your iPhone
  • Cut, copy, and paste
  • Send photos, contacts, audio files, and location via MMS
  • Read and compose email and text messages in landscape

In my opinion, below are some of the top features that current iPhone users are really looking forward to.

  • Better (Higher resolution) camera. It is high time iPhone got it, as there are competitors who are offering 5 & 8 MPX cameras
  • Video recording
  • Better battery life. There are rumors that the current LCD display will change and Apple will introduce a OLED screen which will give better battery life.
  • Ability to remove battery without having to go through the pains of sending it to Apple
  • Ability to multi task and background enable applications
  • Higher data storage & Increased OS speed
  • Usability features
    • Ability to pick calls without using slide bar
    • Delete selected SMS messages from a particular user
    • Organize picture/music/video folders using phone without having to connect to PC
    • Native support for voice tags
    • Mark a SMS as a task in your "To Do" list
    • Solve the keyboard usability issues
    • Ability to sort SMS messages

Apart from the above, Enterprises are looking at Apple to fix some of the issues inorder to make iPhone Enterprise Ready. Refer to my blog on Enterprise readiness of Apple for more details on this.

I really hope that atleast some of these are in the list of 100 features that Apple introduces in iPhone 3.0... These will surely give them better Customer Satisfaction !!

One prime reason, we see a huge list of brilliant iPhone apps is it's limimtation!
It's a blessing in disguise for iPhone app developers.

But certainly improving the features like RAM, allowing background processing will give developers more flexibility to create powerful iPhone apps.
