Two features 3.0 Should Have

[NT1440]

Shouldnt a text take less than a second or two to send?

Why would u have a cancel for something thats supposed to be near instantaneous? Perhaps your looking for an unsend feature?

Two features I think are manditory that I don't think have been listed:

...
2. Hiding apps that I don't normally use such as 'Stocks' and 'Weather'.

I have no stock app. And my phone is not jailbroken.
Nuts right? I had my phone jailbroken back when everyone did. I removed the stocks app back then. But now I do all the updates as they come, but never got the stock app back.

I think apple should let you hide any app.

I would love for there to be a setting for "Sleep" in the Sounds pref where you can set exactly what alerts you want to be audible, vibrate or completely off. Instead of making it like a profile that you turn on and off, you could set a time "on" and a time "off" so that, say, emails, SMS, etc. are all completely silent between midnight and 7 a.m. but the phone ringer still works.

One possibility is that the message bubble appears as soon as "send" is pressed, but the bubble is dim with a progress bar or progress circle until it is sent, at which time the bubble would turn to normal. Perhaps you could tap on the message bubble to cancel. That would be more appropriate and elegant solution than the current 3.0 method: having the progress bar replace the title bar. It would also clearly show which messages are still being sent if more than one unique message is queued up to be sent at one time.

Also, if 3.0 doesn't already include such features:
-It would be nice if messages sent as group messages would also appear in the individual logs for each person in the group (perhaps with a group icon next to it to show that it was sent as a part of a group message).
-Forwarded messages should feature a forward arrow.
-The time stamps for every message should be displayed (perhaps this would be offered as a setting)
-Character counter with used/allowed and remaining displayed (again, as setting)
-A way to quickly reply to incoming messages from any application, like this:

-A way to access predefined messages like "in a meeting", "call you later", etc.
-Emoji enabled by default... and with text translation for common graphics like : ), it would automatically turn graphics into the most appropriate emoji (again, as a setting)
-A way to choose whether incoming messages should vibrate, make a sound, or both AND a way to make a custom sound in GarageBand (up to 10 seconds) and sync it with the phone as a "message tone"

that all sounds really good..esp the quick reply omg i would love that

2. Hiding apps that I don't normally use such as 'Stocks' and 'Weather'.

3. the ability to turn off landscape texting... so if i lay down in bed my keyboard doesnt turn sideways while im texting!! just like damn coverflow coming on in the ipod app while browsing music.

4. Like 3, the ability to turn off landscape in Safari.

All can be achieved through jailbreak!
"Poof" app will let you hide any icons from Springboard
There is an "SBSettings" plug-in to disable the accelerometer.

how about deleting songs directly from your iphone? videos can why not songs?

Nothing, just place a finger anywhere, rotate the phone and release!

Really good idea. I also agree with your other ideas, and I really wish that the Apple would implement folders. All these great new apps just clutter the screen(s) too much.
