As everyone probably knows, Apple is having a media event tomorrow to announce iPhone OS 3.0. Here are some of the things I’d really like to see.
- Support for tasks in the calendar, and a full API for accessing the calendar.
- Note syncing, and an API to access notes.
- An API for sending mail with attachments. Having the user re-enter their SMTP info in another application is a major FAIL.
- Some limited background processing and launchd or cron for scheduling processes.
- API to access & control iPod, at least to determine the current song playing, which applications could use to obtain artwork & lyrics or submit to last.fm, for example.
- Support more video formats in AV Player.
- Better application management in springboard – categorize applications, folders, jump to any screen, list view.
- Landscape view in mail & other applications.
- Push notification.
- Video recording.
- MMS.
- Copy & Paste.
