Thinking about the old article that shows video conferencing in the iPhone sdk makes me believe that the video conferencing was meant for the iPhone v4 (and then the iPad v2).
Got a tip for us?

The big iPhone 5 + OS 4.1 wishlist and rumor list
- Thread starter ThatsMeRight

- Sort by reaction score
Remember the event is titled as a "sneak peek" so I'm not sure we are gonna see everything iPhone os 4.0 has to offer.
I always forget to mention it, but I really miss this functionality from my BB Bold. I mean, yeah, it's not a giant PITA to upload pics the way you have to now with the iPhone, but it could be so much easier.
I'd like the calendar program that's on the iPad. If you haven't seen it or played with it, you should. It's significantly better than what where using now.

Only one thing I want the most...notification lights for missed calls/sms alert when in silent mode
One thing that is misunderstood by many people is the fact that "specs" aren't everything. If you search for a video of the Nexus One vs the iPhone 3GS on Endgadget, you'll find they did some browsing tests and the 3GS won one despite having half the ram and a much slower processor. Why? Software.
I know we are "techies" and we look at specs, but I'm beginning to look more past them and focus more on the user experience.
To me looking at specs PURELY is like looking at a car that has 300HP vs a car with 200HP and immediately deciding that the 300HP is faster, only to find out that the 200HP is much ligher and in fact faster. Apple is imo a better software company than HTC or Google right now and all they can do right now is out spec Apple, but at the end of the day, who is having the highest customer satisfaction? Apple is.
The reality is Apple can't please everyone, in fact, it seems more and more that the people on this site are becoming more and more anal about Apples decisions.
I personally think the iPhone is great. Could it use some improvements, absolutely, but I'm not looking at a phone with all these specs and saying "this is a better phone". At the end of the day, if I have the choice of better specs or better user experience, I'm gonna pick the user experience, and 90% of the consumers out there will too.
We'll see what Apple unveils Thursday!
I agree with you. I hate android but when I read that evo specs list earlier, I thought it was someones wishlist and it sounded like a dream phone 5 years into the future. Then I found out it was real. I love the kickstand!

My theory
I've been researching my phone for the past few days. I've come to the conclusion that it would be most optimal for Apple to include limited third party multitasking - i.e two apps at a time.
The interface cue could be taken from four native apps/functions that are background enabled - Phone, Internet Tethering, Nike+iPod and Voice Memos.
The extra task would remain as a reminder on the taskbar, alerting the user to save their battery and not running two things together for long. The flash colour could be customisable for the third party developer.

one thing on my wishlist that hasnt been talked about on here is 2 microphones like the nexus one
the extra microphone helps filter out the background noises. i think this would be a great improvement for the iphone.

lol jailbreak... Jailbreak... Jailbreak jailbreak and.... Oh yeah jailbreak! Hahaha every single one of those options are more than available if u jailbreak. I have each of those on my phone and now with sbrotator everything is complete...
If there was one thing I really think apple should do is sell themes in AppStore as well as multitasking and better email and in all reality I feel that tomorrow I will be gravely dissapointed cause there is nothing I can think of that I would want my jailbroken phone to do that os4.0 is going to do.
Good Idea OP.
We still have to think about a couple of things.
wouldn't want the iPhone to eat into their iPad market just like they don't want the iPad eating in to their big $$$ iPhone market. They aren't going to make the iPhone a mini-iPad just like they didn't make the iPad a giant iPhone (different form factor, diff UI, diff Apps, diff specs etc). (side note: apple is never on the forefront of pure specs, they always test the water before. So they developed an OS with iPhone, grew its userbase, got a lot of developer support, got a huge app base, and then decided hey there is demand for a tablet, and we can use what we have already built up and use it to create a new market) My predictions for tommorow:
1. Steve : Hello Everyone
2. Sales stats for iTunes, iBooks, iPad,Apps for iPhone
3. Developer story?
4. Maybe not Steve: iPhone 4,0 APIS Features/UI/etc/Appstore new abilities
5. Steve: iPhone 4.0 avail pricing new update pricing, more
5.5? showing us what iPhone 4.0 can do
6. Release of SDK for developer
7. Goodbyes!
Features not in order:
1. Greater Customization (Choose wallpaper like iPad, more control on spotlight websearch etc) *possible* themes/backgrounds from appstore
2. Possible: Limited MultiTasking, like the one in voice memos , call, tethering (outside of us) if you are on iPad or 3gs upto 2 apps while iphone 3g/ipod touch are limited to one 3rd party app
ORrRRRRRRR
certain apps that request backgrounding in the app review process and iphone 4.0 will support itwith expose like switching
3. rotating sb like ipad and very limited ui features from ipad
for iphone
4. new way / api for game devs
5. new touch patterns from fingerworks
6. ibooks maybe.
7. possibly ota sync with mobime
8. email enhancements saved files combined inbox
9. more settings
10.better ui for notifications.
11. api for iad advertisments inapp or during app launch
12 better lockscreen
13. little more corporate integration.
14. easiness for devs to use apis
15. 1 month release day,
16. open up the in app purchase for more revenue ie magazines. 1
17. widgets??
18. change up the sb ui so that it looks a bit better!
19. more use of landscape
20. patch securuity flaws ie jailbreaks
keep in mind gthat this only a sneak peek so itll focus on major ui changes improvements mainly fo r devs so that they can get ready!
read somewhere that iphone 4.0 is going to blow android out of the water maybe maybe!
10hrs left!

Aluminum back, similar to the iPad, would be nice on the new 4G iPhone, but I hope they dont go away from the shape and size of the current one/s, which I think they just might. A lot of us, including myself, have spent a whole lot of dough on cases for our iPhones, and it would suck if they all of a sudden became unusable because of a new phone design. It wouldnt be the end of the world, but its a thought.
Personally I don't think they will change the dimensions of the next iPhone much, if at all, due to compatibility issue with accessories. I'm hoping that they keep the outside pretty much the same, and just possibly change the rear to aluminium, as I'm getting tired of the plastic cracking.
Apple have signed you to the Micro-USB charging agreement, so that's going to end up as an issue for accessories eventually. Besides, Apple loves to sell brand new accessories whenever possible.
that doesnt mean anything they will be happy to make more accessory stuff im sure more money for them
thats not happening, at least not with the iPhone. the iPod touch may be overlooked, but not the iPhone. it started apple's journey with this OS, and the iPad is too new and not competition for the iPhone
Multitasking and stuff are in OS 4.0. Looks very awesome. Discuss!
Within 24 hours after the event I will change the first post, and show what we are still waiting for and what has come true!
AND FINALLY FOLDERS!

AND FINALLY FOLDERS! It's not. Or well, it is in style but there are now local notifications. Apps will give you a notification, but not via a server.Some nice new features, it's just a shame they left the notification system alone
