Dear Santa: My iPhone wishlist

Category: Olivier Dobberkau, Technology

Virtual pizza in my living room...

OK. I was one of those guys buying the iPhone lately. My mental strength lasted only about 24h. I got it on saturday the 10th in the afternoon at the local T-Mobile store around the corner.

Having used it (and not jailbreaked it) since then, here is my wishlist for Steve "Santa Claus" Jobs:

  1. Filters for the mail.app
  2. Be able to send VCF cards with mail.app
  3. MMS
  4. Video for the camera
  5. Positionio thru the cellinformation
  6. better bluetooth support (GPS)
  7. change the youtube list layouts.
  8. release the sdk soon
  9. deleting in mail.app must be faster
  10. be able to turn off the geenie effects
  11. SMS counter
  12. Data counter app
  13. Ringtones
  14. Garageband :-)

Something missing?

Just comment...


Disclosure: my company does work for T-COM. I am not payed for writing this.

Dear Santa, I'd like to have the same stuff like Olivier for my iPhone, too.

Reading about so many features that Olivier wishes, I think I would rather not have Santa bring me a iPhone...

François, 12 and 13 actually exist already so it's not that bad as it might sound. Actualy although missing some things we Europeans are quite used to it's still an awesome phone!

I'm with Francois. I'm quite happy with my Nokia 6234 - hey, even with my 2-year-old 6265 work phone. Opera mini works great on both as a web browser, I can take 2megapixel photos, take videos, edit photos, listen to mp3s (up to 6Gb of them on one microSD card), have mp3s as ringtones, check my gmail, listen to the radio, send SMS and MMS, the list goes on. I'd like Santa to bring me an N81, N93, N95 or E90 - forget the freakin iPhone and the "pretty graphics" or whatever.

Disclosure: I and the company I work for have no affiliation with Nokia whatsoever. I received no payment for writing this!

One thing can be said: the iPhone polarizes. Once again Apple gets into the market as a late starter (remember the names of the first mp3 players?) and makes you wonder why all the better devices are not in the limelight.
I predict that nokia, sony ericsson and lg will loose a lot of sales in this years x-mas time to apple.
i have told you. grab your apple share sooner than later.

But hasn't iPhoned robbed peter to pay paul! The graphics/processing engine in the iPhone robbed all the power from the battery and hasn't left enough for the 3G processor!!! The advantage that Apple has over Sony Erricson and Nokia and the like... is they have years of experience with bespoke operating systems and hardware!! that is why they are able to to provide a device that runs cool software/firmware... but someone should remind Apple that a handheld does not have the same electrical power consumtion as a Apple Mac. Something that Nokia and Ericcson already know and that is why they are able to provide everything plus more of what the iPhone does except in not such a Eye Candyish way!!

Dear Santa @ Reverend Neverend,
I'm willing to exchange my, still excellent working, 2year old, 9500-communicator for a new shiny new E90 (doing all the above and even much much more) and one apple-share.
The first to have a meaningful usable business-phone, the later one to be on the safe side ;-)

Running TYPO3 on your phone
PAMP stack - Warning: Geek Factor High ...
'njoy g

I can now reveal that we at the CCNC conference in Las Vegas in January, 2008 will demonstrate and release what we call the PAMP stack.
PAMP stands for Personal Apache, MySQL, PHP, so yes, the full LAMP stack will be made available for S60 smart phones. In addition, there will be PHP extension modules that provide access to the core functionality of the phone. And on top of PAMP you can basically install any LAMP based content management system. For instance, Drupal can be installed off the shelf. Yes, a fair amount of memory is needed and it's still pretty experimental stuff, but it runs quite nicely on E90.
