That video is crazy, what a dangerous exploit. Good to see Apple is mere days away from a fix. Imagine if Windows Mobile had a similar problem. Hah!
I really don't know what all the fuss about MMS really is. After all, you've got e-mail people! I would have thought copy and paste would be a bigger issue - considering the cool interface, this is seems a bit left out (flogging the dead horse, I know).

Categories' showing icons of apps instead of the list; 'Tell A Friend' & 'Report A Problem
tell a friend is always in the app store(on the phone), showing icons instead of the list will surely make it a massive page to scroll down if I'm thinking straight???
what I want is to simply be able to add a new album from my itunes to my phone without plugging it in???????
i know airsharing does it but come on apple

i'm in chicago and i cannot make calls via 3g with any reliability. it's a really really terrible situation. edge seems to work fine.
You can disable that in Settings / Passcode Lock / Show SMS Preview
If your phone is jailbroken, use Pysl (free). It lets you hide text messages and calls from numbers you can define. Keeps your secret life secret, you can set a password to access the messages and missed calls. The notifications is very discrete, too (square in the menu bar).
I use it mainly to redirect people I don't want calls from to my mailbox.
go to settings>general>passcode lock and tap "off" where it says "show sms preview". That's been there since the first phone was released, i think.
Err, I'm pretty sure he/she was talking about turning off the SMS preview WITHOUT having to enter your passcode every time.
Good to see that I'm not the only one annoyed by this. I have a smart playlist for new podcasts that runs them oldest to newest but if there's one that I particularly want to listen to or that's time sensitive I'd like to be able to listen to it straight from the podcast list without running into the next one. It doesn't do this with the essentially identical TV episodes menu or with video podcasts so it makes no sense.
tried settings/general/passcode lock/show sms preview?!
edit: and now ive been beaten. lol
Fast
At this point, I'm happy with anything that Apple wants to add as long as they keep the iPhone fast and easy to use. I don't see how they could add copy and paste and still keep the iPhone easy to use for everyone (and yes, that includes your aunt Luddy). I hope they can add PUSH while keeping the iPhone at least as fast as it currently is.

I think Sonoma's app enables that ability. I've attempted to use an external mic with QuickVoice, but to no avail. I assume when Apple enables it in firmware, any app will be able to take advantage of it.
Edit: I'm beginning to wonder what other hidden goodies (like video recording) are locked away dormant in the iPhone, waiting for Apple to unleash them....
I'd just really like to see some stability. Safari crashes for me whilst it's not even loading. It's almost nothing like the 1.X firmwares, which were really solid.
It's not just Safari either. Some of the APIs that it shares with other apps must have bugs, because lots of apps have been crashing.
Copy and paste would also be welcome, although I've sort of resigned myself to never seeing it on an iPhone. Push notifications would be great to see, though.

I am confused by the video.
So there was a confirmation dialog ("Do you want to call this number?") prior to the call being made but it dismissed itself and called automatically. I've never seen that behavior on my iPhone. Or maybe I'm not waiting long enough. Does the dialog time-out and default to making the call? If so, that was a dumb decision of Microsoft-like proportions on the part of Apple, similar to the "let's make Outlook easier by opening all attachments automatically" decision.
The dialog should either not time-out or it should default to the cancel operation. That's basic UI logic (default to the option that makes the least changes to data or takes the least action) and it's surprising that Apple did such a dumb thing.

My only request...
Please Apple, add full CalDAV support to the iPhone / iPod Touch. I don't care whether its over-the-air or iTunes based syncing, just get it to work!
That's all I ask... on the other hand, landscape mail and notes keyboards would be cool as well. As would be a stabler Safari.
But, that's all I ask... for now.

Audio In
So are there any rumored/known devices/companies that will be taking advantage of said Audio In?
Links?

If this was known a month ago, it should've been fixed a month ago... kind of stupid if we have to wait for a supposed good-enough-for-a-dot update, which according the "known" features, this is not.
If it has the PNS, then I'll be happy. Anything else is bogus and is totally disregarding their promise.

Yes, but most of us I think want to use MMS to send a photo to another person not using an iphone or sitting directly in front of a computer so they can check their email. I had to email my mom a photo today, then call her to tell her I sent it so she could go to her computer to check her email.
And so that when I receive an MMS I don't have to write down the username and password for viewmymessage.com, then start safari and type in the username and password. I wish the viewmymessage.com sms would just contain a link with the username and password on the url.
Great, many more "features" as people call them.
I have enough features, I want 1.1.4 stability. Screw the new features at this point. I have two iphones and both are much slower than Iphone v1 with 1.1.4.
All in due time some of you may say? This will be firmware update #4 if im not mistaken, ITS TIME APPLE.
Is it 1.1.4 or 1.4? you all know what i mean!
