More Screenshots from iPhone 2.0 Firmware

[w00master]

Don't you think the bazillion or so apps coming in June and thereafter is going to address this? Face it everyone. The iphone was named incorrectly....on purpose to fool the market I think. It is a mobile mac. You don't like the program that apple wrote? Then use another.

I think people "get that." I think the issue is that iCal & Mail for the Mac includes Tasks, yet the iPhone does not. Additionally, the iPhone does not include any sort of rudimentary task or to-do app, something that all smartphones and most "regular" phones have. Why include Calendar, Contacts, & Mail but no task/to-do app? Doesn't that seem strange to you?

Even though I think copy and paste is *essential* and needs to be added to the iPhone ASAP, I can almost understand the lack of copy and paste. Copy and paste is not only a UI issue, but definitely an iPhone OS issue. However, the lack of a to-do/task app to me is utterly inexcusable.

What the hell are you talking about? You can view the keyboard sideways if you want....NOW!

I'd like to see you try that for e-mail or sms texting.

I think it would be amazing if they had a phone number auto complete/predict option.
Sometimes I receive or make a call and forget what the full number was but remember the first few digits.... I would love to be able to type the number and see all the other numbers that have come in or that I have made that began with that number...
thoughts?

You mean like the Windows Mobile 6 phone app?

I think there are higher priorities for improvements than a calculator.

How about video support, a2dp (or bluetooth stack in general), To-do and notes syncing (over the air with .mac, even .mac support), cut and paste, better caching in safari, local files and access, better handlng of on the go playlists in the iPod app, full keychain access to autofill websites (crucial for website reg of wifi sites) etc etc

I appreciate that not all that's gonna come right now but surely one of them could come ahead of a tweaked calc app. (All the above is possible on the current hardware btw).

Understand that I'm not saying that your wants are invalid, only that there are arguments for and against all these features.
<p>
Reliable video support will require battery software tweaks, at the very least (much more energy-consuming than e.g. a calculator upgrade). Cut and paste is difficult because they're trying to get the gestures down for it. "Better caching in Safari" would need to be characterized better: what do YOU mean by better caching? Local file access would be more useful on the 16 GB (or future 32GB) models than on the 8 or the old 4 GB models; and if done wrong, could open up holes in the security model for unapproved/unvetted applications (especially downloadable apps, and hence trojans).
<p>
The rest of it is stuff that is arguable one way or another: I think the handling of on the Go playlists is fine, don't want full keychain access (I don't even use the keychain on my laptop), but agree on the to do lists.

I'm with you that iPhone needs search, but I have to say if you can't remember their first or last name, how do you expect search to work? LOL.

w00master

Search by phone number came in handy on my old phone a few times. Search by location, search by email would also be nice. Although search by email already works in the Mail app.

 

[i.maverick]

its a great idea to have multi delete in email. now whats so hard for them to do this in texts and call logs. who wants to erase an entire text conversation or you're whole log. they need features that ever cell phone comes with these days and then improve on that with features that only apple can have. the iphone shoul dhave the ability to forward texts or save an invidual one and not delete the entire message that could be weeks long. also the call log should be split between missed, received, and dialed and have the same option to erase individual calls and not the entire list.

i love my iphone but basic features like this are what apple should be paying more attention to first as im sure its pretty easy for them to create. also typing in portrait mode for texting would be amazing too.

im calling steve jobs right now.

u do that. include my name too.

 

[twoodcc]

more screenshots are always nice.

good to see that the calculator has gotten a nice improvement

can't wait til late June (aka, July)

 

[i.maverick]

done..

What about testing out 802.1X support with certificates? Important for college students!!!

Phil already already announced 802.1x support.!

 

[sleepingworker]

Does anyone know whether it will be possible to use VOIP on an iPT? Is there a way to utilize a microphone for VOIP?

 

[i.maverick]

With 1500+ contacts I have, I would really appreciate a way to perform a search. It's a nightmare trying to find something buried in the notes section of a contact's info when you can't remember their first or last name.

jailbreak and u get search my man.. has saved me from ripping out my hair a couple of times
seriously, no search??
and to think i expected them to incorporate spotlight!!
come to think of it, why didn't they..??!!

Did anyone else notice how similar the AppStore looks like installer.app? The Featured icon on the left is exactly the same..

I'd almost say Apple was looking at installer.app when they made the AppStore

i think they did hire one of the guys responsible for installer.app

Please...give me a search feature in Contacts. Not a new calculator. Bummed.

I know, they really have made this version the BEST version on any cell phone... Ever, I would believe. I have some friends who were anti-iPhone, but now, after seeing the capability of 2.0, they want one as well.

 

[Diatribe]

www.apple.com/feedback.

I'm sure notes will have the ability to sync.

To-Do, they'd have to add another button in Calendar or another app (which I'm sure there will be plenty).

I have sent so much feedback Apple probably as their own file on me.

 

[Niiro13]

engineering students like me will love the scientific calculator!!!!Wooo hoooo! Please iPhone come to Italy soon!

Or you can just get an iPod Touch

Does anyone know whether it will be possible to use VOIP on an iPT? Is there a way to utilize a microphone for VOIP?

Yes and No. It's possible, but Apple said that the SDK software won't be able to communicate with dock accessories.

 

[iTeen]

i am really looking forward to the calculator!!!
XD!!!

I will be the envy of my math class.

Wait until Ti-84+ gets released on the iPhone. XD

 

[bravedeer]

Already there...

The scientific calculator is a must have application. RPN would be cool. Programmable would be even better.

I wonder if contacts could be by folder (personal, business 1, business 2)

Adding folders to mail is a must have feature. Filtering incoming mail to those folders would be even better.

As I have been saying for about a year now, this is a palmtop supercomputer with a phone and iPod application running on it (and a few others). Hold on tight, it's about to become "insanely great".

Rocketman

Contacts by "Group" already exists but you must organize them on your Mac and then sync.

Mail already has folders as well. It doesn't have filtering but it does have folders.

 

[robotrenegade]

Photos

How about making your iphone send photos (not in emails) to other phones.

 

[ricosuave]

Search

You can search your contacts now with the map application. It only works with contacts that have an address though.

 

[ppdix]

We had to wait a year for this crap?

I can't believe that people are raving about crappy features like these to the phone's OS... 4 years ago Sony's P-800, P-900 or Nokia 7710 were doing what version 2.0 is going to do and so much more. Nothing worth wowing over... Although the iphone is faster, easier and nicer looking, it still can't touch the hundreds of useful features that were present years ago...
I've been missing Flash, Picture dialing, video recording with audio, camera zoom and auto-focus, icon re-arranging, themes, photo cropping and resize, seamless bluetooth syncing and file transfer, Bluetooth Modem, outgoing and incoming call logs and a REAL internet browser without limitations...
I love the iPhone. Actually I love my 1.1.4 Jailbroken iPhone with SummerBoard and Customize, and hundreds of themes, apps and sounds to make it my own, the way it should have been from the top.
Un-broken iPhones can't compare. I thank the hackers, developers and programmers that made the iPhone a useful, fun, amazing phone... And all for FREE!
Instead of giving us a stupid new calculator, let the developers go wild, give them the freedom to do amazing things worth of Apple's trajectory...
I am, so far, very disappointed.

How does one go about obtaining the new firmware?

Does it void the warranty?

 

[Niiro13]

You can search your contacts now with the map application. It only works with contacts that have an address though.

They meant search as in if they have 1000+ contacts in their address book, they don't want to use that right side scrolling thing. Also, they meant search as in you'd type "chicago" and all your contacts who live in chicago show up...or maybe you want to know who you know that lives on aspen drive. Type aspen drive.


Or using your maps example: If you have 1000+ contacts and you need to use maps to find where they are, wouldn't a search be nice instead of scrolling through 1000+ contacts?

How does one go about obtaining the new firmware?

Does it void the warranty?

You can download it in June or now if you are a developer.
Why would it void your warranty? It's by Apple!

 

[ppdix]

What if I text you an address for you to add to your address book or to see in a map? How are you going to remember it all? U need pen and paper to jot it down, then re-type it into your iphone... Copy and Paste ARE inexcusably missing from the OS. Apple's Systems have had them since 1984. That is essential!

I think people "get that." I think the issue is that iCal & Mail for the Mac includes Tasks, yet the iPhone does not. Additionally, the iPhone does not include any sort of rudimentary task or to-do app, something that all smartphones and most "regular" phones have.

Is that what the mass-reject was about? I don't know the first thing about developing. I probably need a "for Dummies" book on that one.

Is there a limit to how many iPhones a developer can install the software on?

 

[ppdix]

If u think about it, the iPhone doesn't do much un-jailbroken... So far a super-customized 1.1.4 makes v2.0 seem like old news...

 

[ppdix]

The only Trojans I care about are the ones I use to have fun...
I downloaded hundreds of apps and tweaks from Installer App and not a Trojan to be seen...
AFP (Kinda like a Disk Mode) is already working and it is awesome, either via Wi-Fi or USB... I missed it from my old smart phones... I also miss the bluetooth caller ID feature I had years ago and the ability to send and receive ANY file, music, sounds, pix, vcards via bluetooth between 2 phones, even not being a smart phone, like a crappy Sony Ericsson T610 or a Razor...
