No sooner had Apple (AAPL) e-mailed invitations to an iPhone 3.0 "sneak peak" on March 17 than Apple watchers -- and iPhone owners -- began speculating about what that new operating system might do for them.
Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster expects "significant new features," including, perhaps, universal search capability and possibly a redesigned user interface.
Silicon Alley Insider's Eric Krangel has four items on his wish list:
- Copy / paste support
- Email search
- Google (GOOG) Latitude
- Background notifications
The Boy Genius says he knows of at least two items iPhone 3.0 will deliver:
- MMS [multimedia messaging service)
- Tethering via Bluetooth and USB
Apple Insider's Slash Lane notes that two features promised early on -- and not yet delivered -- are push notification for third-party apps and support for turn-by-turn navigation. Also on his wish list: a dashboard-like layer of user-creatable widgets that would allow users without programming skills to build their own apps. (link)
