Also annoying is iPhone's inability to send text messages to multiple recipients at once. Very inefficient.
And STILL...no copy / paste it appears.
Got a tip for us?

They're working on it - Apple's just still stumped trying to figure out how to make Finder cut and paste. ETA 4 years.
Yeah, forgot about those
. Would like to see voice dialing and Bluetooth ObEx. One cool thing that it can do is work with BluePhoneElite 2.0. I can use my Mac Pro and iSight to have a handsfree call (even tried it in Leopard 9A527, worked well), but can't send/receive text messages with it yet.
I would have loved to be a fly on the wall at Apple when they started determining what was going to be added to the iPhone in this latest update...something tells me the first thing someone said was "we've gotten thousands upon thousands of requests from iPhone users on what they want added to the iPhone" and the last thing someone said was "so it's decided, we'll update the calculator icon"...sadly, even the little updates make me happy.
Was it doing that before or is this a new thing? If it's new, then yeah it's probably coming shortly. If it's been doing that for a couple days or a week now then who knows.
For instance, at the bottom of http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/ -- there are links to songs / artists, etc. that automatically open iTunes when clicked on from a computer. If clicked on from the iPhone you get the message Amp mentioned.
Thats a cool feature you can turn edge off but im mostly excited about the ipod touch's double click home button thing and a little excited about the other keboards
Apple Fix the "smart" playlist bug!!

Until they fix that, you can create a new playlist that does things backwards. i.e. make a new one (in iTunes) that shows you the Top 25 Least Played and it'll show you the Top 25 Most Played (on your iPhone)... if that makes any sense?

That is just weird. It seems like it would just copy the songs/playlist listing over to the iPhone and the actual calculation of what's what would take place in iTunes.
they used the speakerphone in that demo video on apple UK. doesnt apple know that the speakerphone is useless on the iphone?
sorry. i just thought i could get it dugg to the home page. here's the direct link.

I think Apple will release a BIG iPhone update - after Leopard.
This will allow them to tie in a lot of new things (or at least use the same technology, which they couldn't very well do until Leopard is released) - To-Do syncing, Coverflow for file browsing (therefore adding an accessible file-manager to the iPhone), system-wide Spotlight search, iChat update (perhaps).
It makes sense...
And, while they're at it, sort out simple things like:-
-Speaker volume too low when in anything but a silent/very quiet environment
-Ability to reduce/increase specific alert volumes and even turn them off, using the volume buttons (not just the ringer)
-Forward SMS messages
-iCal revamp inc. better repeat options, dragging to different days to duplicate or change (it's quite slow to change dates/times, too many screen to go through and it's fairly slow to respond), add to/see multiple colour-coded calendars
-Copy/paste for text and the ability to select, etc.
To be honest, before I got my iPhone I thought more things would bug me (lack of alert profiles, changeable alerts etc.)...but they don't , I've worked around most limitations - and for the most part, I love it

A mobile subset of Leopard technology with special features I think. Sort of like an Xbox 360 runs on a set-top/games-console subset of Windows XP.
But why can't they do that while we run Tiger
Because they want to keep all of the "new technology" under wraps until Leopard is officially released? Plus the To-Do's in Mail don't currently exist, and Coverflow for files is touted as one of the major new Leopard "features", so I guess they couldn't very well introduce this stuff to the iPhone until the OS the technology is derived from, is actually released itself?
It's just a hunch...
Hmm this sounds feasible, it's my belief that Apple will put out an SDK after Leopard is out for the same reason. Maybe Dashcode will even have iPhone developing modes.
I hope so! But, after installing just about everything off Installer.app to try out, I don't find 99% of it interesting/of use to me. Apart from changing the iPhone dock background to an iPod touch/Leopard mirrored one
The only thing I'd like to see is an MSN app, with WiFi keep-alive when the iPhone is on standby. Vibrating/alerts for msgs contacts signing in, pop ups for msgs, contacts adding/deleting blocking, files/display pictures, etc. etc. I doubt this will be in iChat - it'll just be MSN/Jabber only (and I hate jabber). So sadly it'll have to be 3rd-party, I think. I really wish Apple would implement full MSN support into iChat, because AIM mayb be the most popular in the US/Canada, but it certainly isn't outside of the US in Europe/UK!

Keep in mind that these are individuals developing without an SDK (much much much more difficult that with), once there is an SDK companies will start writing apps for the iPhone and you will see many more "good" apps.
