iPhone 3.0 software?

There's been news that the iPhone 3.0 software is being previewed on
March 17th.

So, knowing that, I have come up with a list of features I WISH to be
included in the software...


1. Tethering - Which allows you to use the 3G connection on your
iPhone to browse the web from your PC/Mac. Basically, your iPhone
becomes a modem for your computer. I'm doing this with a Samsung
Windows Mobile phone.

2. Three words: COPY AND PASTE - enuff said.

3. Video camera - The iPhone has a camera and mic. It has a decent
memory space. Why not allow VGA-quality video capture?

4. Support for the new Apple headphones with the volume button -
What's so difficult? The phone already supports headphones with the
single button, why not the one with volume buttons?

5. Voice recording - the new iPods (sans the shuffle) can record, why
not the iPhone?

6. Upload to Flickr & Facebook - iPhoto has this, why not the iPhone?

7. Background Application services - Allow you to let an app continue
running while the phone is asleep or the app is not open.

8. Multi-tasking - Allow you to run multiple apps at once?

9. GPRS shut-off - To disconnect the iPhone from the mobile data
network, so that people who are on time-based internet plans or people
with very limited internet cap can ensure nothing get through to the
telco - other than phone calls, sms and data via WiFi.

10. More uses for Bluetooth - E.g.: for the Remote or Keynote Remote
App, maybe open up the Bluetooth API for developers to allow iPhone
owners to use the bluetooth feature for more things other than for
headphones. Maybe transfer Notes, Multiplayer games, etc. Probably not
for sharing music/video files, though.

I really hope No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 come true. At the same time, I
hope there'll be an iPhone 3G with Video Call, or a Video call kit for
the current iPhone 3Gs.
