What do i need in the next Gen iPhone and 4.0 OS.

iPhone OS upgrade seems to on the horizon, probably this summer of 2010. Gizmodo which apparently got the un-intended iPhone.

The link here gives a list of iPhone OS 4.0 features. Sounds impressive!. As always, Apple seems to be sucking in some of the nice features from the Jail Break community.... which makes me wonder if all of this jail break, losing the secret iPhone in a bar are all orchestrated media blitz to increase the appetite for already hungry masses:-).

Nevertheless, i have to admit, i love the iPhone, and I'm an iPhone addict!, and I'm waiting for the new one when ever its released.

Features i like.

  1. Multitasking
  2. Application folder
  3. Custom backgrounds
  4. Blue-tooth keyboard
The above are derived from JB'ed features. There is a whole bunch of some unlisted features of iPhone 4.0 OS documented here.

It would be cool if Apple can inherit the soft-touch SBSettings app toggles, winter-board, features like iBlacklist, application back grounding by pressing the home button, app killing.

More JB'ed features listed here.

Couple other would be nice..

  1. When we view SMS, the call, add to contacts could be frozen instead of being scrolled all the way to the top.
  2. Built in iPhone locator in case the phone is lost.
  3. More location aware controls.. so at a press of a button, we can silence the phone, maybe turn on iBlacklist..
  4. Add new Contact was crappy.. seems like they might have already fixed that!
  5. The camera is going to be nicer than the 3Gs i think, so i could lose my regular camera and my video camcorder and just be done with my iPhone!
  6. Ability to put files directly.. just use the Phone as USB storage.
  7. Front and rear facing camera!
