I have several reasons for waiting for iPhone v2.0. Here are the features I'd like to see it have:
- Streaming media client (not just YouTube, I mean streaming internet radio like Kinoma and pTunes do on Palm OS)
- CDMA with EVDO Rev A (I'm a Verizon customer), lacking this AT&T's coverage in my area would have to catch up with VZW's and it'll have to have a 3G GSM data capability (I know, AT&T's exclusivity lasts 5 years, by that time we'll probably be at iPhone v4.0 or something)
- Stereo BlueTooth (I don't understand why it doesn't have this already)
- More/Better games (I love Warfare on my Treo)
- Higher storage capacity OR external storage (pref. SD)
- GPS Nav to go along with Google Maps (pref. with GPS receiver built in)
- Office document editors to go along with the readers
- A call recorder app
As I sat there lusting after the iPhone in my hands at the Apple Store I actually got a crazy idea in my head to ditch my Verizon Treo 700p, get the iPhone, then rig up my Verizon EVDO USB720 modem in my Kyocera KR1 WiFi router with a battery and lug it around with me so I'd always have high speed WiFi for my iPhone. That way I'd be able to have the iPhone, use AT&T for voice but never have to worry about the slow data access on EDGE. Crazy, I know.
