Something New? iPad 2, iPhone 5
And so it would seem that Apple are waking up to competition – rumours have it that iPhone 5 and iPad 2 are merely around the corner – well, given the bodge they made of the iPhone 4, lets hope they get it right next time… here are my suggestions Apple if you’re looking in – my iPHONE 5 WISHLIST if you like:
- Basic hardware of the 3GS but with MUCH longer battery life
- Superior screen of the iPhone 4
- Front facing camera
Of course all of that’s very NICE – but to make use of that – what’s REALLY needed is SKYPE working in video on said hardware – for me that would REALLY make the difference – and scrap this STUPID restriction on tethering – you can tether any Microsoft or Nokia smartphone to the iPad so why not the iPhone (well, I know why but that’s not the point). Finally, changing the rather toy nature of the email app (only storing the last few days email) to something more substantial would win my vote (how about storing the last year’s worth of email).
Having apparently done something about the design team who came up with the iMess 4, hopefully the next model will once again put Apple at the front… certainly my experiences with Android up to now have not been sufficiently good to make me dream in a million YEARS of deserting my iPhone or iPad – but hey… things change..
Talking of which – GOOGLE GOGGLES – go to the Google App on your iPhone and you have to agree to some terms and you can now get access to Google Goggles – it’s mind-blowing – take a picture of something and it goes off to the web and tells you all about it – voice search is in the same area “scargill bedrock” I uttered – staight off to our Spanish website – absolutely magic.
