And would Push email be that much of a friggin' feature to offer? Why doesn't AT&T offer it for 10 bucks more? I would gladly pay 10 dollars to be able to reply to clients with this stupid ass phone and not have to promote Yahoo! at the bottom. And not have to use a stupid yahoo address to begin with. You can't even change the reply-to on the yahoo account so now I have to have my professional address, and this dumbass yahoo one.

As smart as Steve is, I saw this one coming as soon as he said "Yahoo is providing push email". I pushed something into my shorts on that one!

15 minute email checking is satisfactory for most I'd say....
 
all i want is a single friggin polished ANYTHING from :apple:
holy smokes,:apple: has so many unfinished products right now on the market that its getting absurd.
my pick for starters would be to make leopard usable.that'd be nice
but no,lets keep adding more and more and more and more bloat to everything and expand our product line out the gazoo.quality goes out the window but its ok because if they just keep selling a ton of half baked products and make more and more and then neglect them,they make a ton of money
the consumers?screwed
o well the money from mass expansion is more attractive than quality control
:apple: has always tried this in some form,but the past few years its getting far beyond their level of control and competence and every product they make now is suffering greatly
 
I also don't see what the advantage would be to intentionally delaying the release of new iPhone features. Especially with the holiday shopping season approaching.

I, too, think it's more likely that it's just a matter of Apple being overwhelmed with all the things they're trying to do with the iPhone. After all they only barely got it out the door in time for their July deadline, and only then because they pulled engineers off other projects to help out.

Right now, they've just finished adding international language capabilities to the thing, and launching it in two new countries, with more releases coming up, plus they're trying to make an SDK in time for February. Trying to write quality apps on top of that takes time, and work.

Once that SDK is out, we will see 3d parties step up and the feature set will really take off. In the meantime, I'm sure the iPhone engineers are running around like crazy trying to get everything done and we just have to give them some time.

It might help if they added more engineers to their group. On the other hand, Apple likes to keep working groups small, and based on the high quality they usually produce, it seems to be a good practice.
 
i'd love to have gps but my guess is that, since the phone uses google maps, apple won't upgrade the phone until after google puts out their own phone software.

Exactly..how is this phone going to process and upload video if it cant even play music and surf at the same time?

what?? :eek::eek::eek: you cant play music and surf at the same time on iphone?? are you serious??

i can't believe i've read dozens of iphone reviews and none of them mention that restriction! that's just basic stuff. how can that not work??

i wonder what else those reviews happened not to mention... damn apple fanboy journalism!
 
Not quite so sure why on earth a company would actively disable in it's product all the ABSOLUTELY BASIC FUNCTIONS that all the competitors do really well out the box and then drip feed them to you one at a time over months and months and months. How exactly is that a clever or innovative idea worth praising or getting excited about?

I ain't getting an iPhone until it can combine it's gorgeous interface with the absolute basics that every other phone in the world can do.
 
"15 minute email checking is satisfactory for most I'd say...."

Not anyone who switched from Blackberry. Pulling in emails is old, outdated, and far less efficient. Not to mention that it totally wrecked my mail accounts.

The Yahoo! implementation of push is horrid. Yahoo! as a company is on the ropes and this push thing should have been right on day one.

It seems like apple has more balls in the air than it has jugglers to catch them.
 
Apple had such a great opportunity to have a crappy camera on the front, use PhotoBooth effects and have Phone<->Computer videochats...

Not to interrupt the rant too much here, but I think you meant "Wazoo" (or "ass").

This is "Gazoo."

Calm down dude. Do your research and don't read too much into that comment. The iPhone should be able to play music and surf the web at the same time just fine, but what with it being a first gen product it's been known to wig out at times when there's too much going on. Like another poster says, bugs like that have been getting fixed with each update, which is generally what updates are for - not for adding the functionality that should really have been there from day one. But hey. At least they're adding this stuff.
 
Apple Support Web Gallery

Maybe these means emailing movies on your iPhone NOT taken by your iPhone, but I found this on their support forum on uploading pictures to web gallery.


"You can also email photos or movies from iPhone to other Web Galleries that allow contributions. For more information, search .Mac Help for "Adding photos or movies via email to a Web Gallery."
 
If these are software fixes...

What does Apple have planned for iPhone "The Sequel"? I've been holding off buying an iPhone for a number of reasons, not the least of which was that ATT didn't service my area, but that changes Jan 1 '08.:D

Upping the storage? Could they make it smaller? Increasing the pixels of the camera? Upping battery life?

Will this be announced at MacWorld San Fran?

Maybe we won't see video recording untill second gen iphone
Click to expand...

Agreed.
I having a sneaking suspicion we won't see some of the iPhone's glaring holes filled until v2 comes out.
As far as video is concerned: I'm no technician, but is video functionality as "simple" as a software update? No hardware update required?
 
This has made me think maybe the second gen iPhone won't come until holidays 2008 just before everyones current contract (2yr US, 18month UK) runs out and just before the biggest sales quarter of the year.

Apple will keep the 1st Gen iPhone a live with the cool new software. Remember the Powerbook G4, that was really far behind its time for years but apple kept making and it people kept buying it because of the software!
