A few days with the 3G...

A walk back through time shows my list of what I wanted improved in the iPhone v2.

After a few days with the iPhone 3G and almost 2 weeks with the iPhone 2.0 software, I've decided to update this list...

Apple To-Do List...
* Safari STILL needs to run FLASH and JAVA
* COPY/CUT/PASTE REALLY (Is it really that hard to program??)
* Video recording (Where the hell is it??)
* Sync "Notes" back to iTunes or something to save them off phone (cause it's STILL completely worthless to me otherwise)
* Turn keyboard sideways in any mode that requires a lot of typing... (E-MAIL)
* MMS messages
* Ability to change the "alert" sounds for incoming E-Mail/SMS (custom sounds)
* Ability to send pics from camera via e-mail at FULL res! (why the hell is Apple limiting this?)
* Ability to tether as a modem via bluetooth and/or USB
* PDF viewer needs bookmarks + searching
* Mail count indicator for multiple email accounts
* Allow iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store use via 3G

Non-Apple related...
* Gmail Push (I assume Google is working on this and it will be up when Apple fires up their Notification Service)
* Google Calendar App
* Google Reader App
* Google Talk App
* Google Mail App
* Google Docs App
* Google Notes App
* SlingBox app (SlingMedia is currently working on this)
* NetFlix app (To manage the queue)
* NetFlix On Demand app (To play their on demand library via the iPhone)

And of course I have to include these for the iPhone v3...
* LARGER STORAGE (64GB+)
* Memory card support (will never happen but a man can dream)
* User-replaceable battery (will never happen but a man can dream)
* Higher Quality Camera (3-4 megapixels seems like a nice bump)
* Notification Light for new e-mail, SMS, MMS, etc. (like the blackberry)
