The iPhone seriously lags other smartphones in areas other than market share. As a man armed with both an iPhone and a BlackBerry, I’m acutely aware of the iPhone’s limitations, as well as the Blackberry’s. The weaknesses of the Blackberry are well-known: lack of a great App store and all that entails, lack of a great browser, and some may say lack of multitouch. Despite that, I still use the BlackBerry, and it got me thinking: what does iPhone OS 4.0, which could be debuted as early as tomorrow (but likely not until Spring or WWDC even), need to get me to finally make the iPhone my go-to device for both fun and business? And before you ask, we’ll be ruminating on this for Android in another installment.
What follows is a list of the 12 most useful and, dare I say it, necessary features the next major update to iPhone OS should address. These are all features that are the same or similar to features that already exist in Windows Mobile, Android, and/or the Blackberry.
