I would like to see a refresh of the notification system, and status messages on the lock screen, which I believe was hinted at a while back in a patent filing. Would be nice just to hit the home button while the device is in standby and see a list of recent emails, SMSs, etc.
On the contrary, please don't show a list of my info to someone when my phone is locked.
I am going to officially start the rumors for the 3.0 release: Copy-Paste, Push Gmail, Background IM apps, and wireless iTunes sync. This is really just my personal wishlist, but if the rumors spread, enough people will be expecting these features that Apple will have to build them in (since they're already so receptive to external input). It's a self fulfilling prophecy!

How can you evaluate an SDK? Compare it to a different SDK that provides a similar solution. HackerNews is filled with such debates, like Java Vs. Python, Tables Vs. CSS... The features above were part of the Andoird SDK beta, Background processes have been around for few years in other mobile platforms, I can get excited if Apple will come out with a killer features that are unique to their platofrom (e.g. Bonjure i…
I know they're in the SDK beta. But Android doesn't stack up to the iPhone in other ways, so considering this isn't an article about iPhone versus Android, I dislike that it was brought into the conversation. HackerNews is filled with such debates, like Java Vs. Python, Tables Vs. CSS... I also get mad when people ask for CSS help and other people respond with "use tables", and when people post to a thread talking ab…
get real. android and iPhone aren't competition? the comment wasn't "ftw" it contained real information: that apple's wishlist is android's 1.0. sure android has its flaws too, and you accurately point them out, but to claim that it's somehow out of bounds to compare the two SDKs is really desperate.

More interesting: predict the steals from Palm Pre's WebOS.
I can't see folks at Apple seeing the Pre demo and scrambling to rip-off a bunch of stuff in the remaining months of development.

I'd love to see a better camera. I lately always forgo bringing an actual camera on vacations since I have a camera on my phone, but I'm inevitability disappointed when I get home and review my pics on the computer.
But don't expect too much more from the camera, the hardware is pretty weak.

It is just an OS update - but a 3rd party app I have does a better job at reducing blur. But don't expect too much more from the camera, the hardware is pretty weak.
