Revisiting my 3G iPhone wishlist reveals that only a few of my most wanted items will find their place in iPhone 2.0 firmware. Here is a rundown:
What I will get
- GPS Chip
- General Software Improvements: Contact Search
- Better battery life. We have to wait for the reviews to come in to see how much of Apple’s claims are true in this regard.
What I won’t
- A2DP. Hmmm, Will I ever get this?
- Access to file system.
- iChat.
- Better BT stack. From the specs it appears that it is going to remain the same.
- Video Recording. For some reasons, Apple still believes this is not required.
- General Software Improvements: Todo list, Notes Sync.
- Standalone apps for viewing docs: Nopes, but they did add few more document formats.
Now it is time to wait for the 3.0 iPhone firmware!!
