Anyone noticed that briefly, in the keynote, Steve indicated the position of the iTunesWiFi store icon in the last position of the iphone screen - probably hinting at three other applications to come before that iwf store becomes available ? Any guesses about what those three would be ?



also I wonder why such positions are fixed ? Does Apple expect people to select an application with a rough idea of where the icon would be ?

    Interesting, I also noticed this yesterday. It very well could be three new apps (iChat, iWork viewer, spotlight???) Who knows?



    Either that or the other thing that popped into my head was maybe that's how iPhone sorts the apps on the home screen.



    Example:

    Top Row - Left to Right

    Second Row - Right to Left

    Third Row - Left to Right

    Bottom Row - Right to Left



    Both are strong possibilities. We shall see.

    1. Games icon, press it and pick one from the list of iPhone games you downloaded.

    2. iChat, cause we need it.

    3. Search. Global spotlight is needed on the iPhone.



    Also, they need to put all the widgets into one place, under a dashboard icon on the iPhone's home-screen (this will clear up even more space), and add in a few more widgets to the iPhone's dashboard like dictionary, a unit converter, and a language translator.



    Still can't believe the iPhone has no dictionary app.

    iChat is the one thing I'm looking foward too. And hopefully they'll make this camera have "video" capabilities.

    I would love video capture, and to think it's just a software update away.\

    Come on Apple. I'm so glad I resisted every urge to buy an iPhone at launch. I'm loving the price drop.

    Destop streaming where you can stream music as well as a live interractive screen of your home computer to anywhere in the world. I know there have been web 2 apps for this already but it needs the apple touch.



    It really needs to be a built in app with special commands too. Like a four finger touch locks the current desktop screen so it can be interacted with in a much better way.

    iChat, Dictionary and Games folder are exactly what I had in mind. Glad to know sentiments are similar

    Bluetooth device access to photos (and videos ?) as a folder may also be a possibility if they are stuck on their draconian - WILL NOT OPEN OUT THE SDK - nonsense.

    Web = dictionary.



    Built-in dictionary would be wasted space IMO.

    No, web doesn't = dictionary. If that was the case then OS X wouldn't have a dictionary app. A dictionary app would be no waste of space.

    Not every Mac has net access. (I know, shock.)



    Every iPhone has net access, by definition.

    Not true. What about in the tunnel? Or in a building with no phone access? Or in a plane?

    The dictionary is built into Mac OS X for instantaneous look-up and integration (i.e. for Dashboard and for Control+Apple+D). The web is a perfectly suitable dictionary:



    1) Dictionary.com

    2) m-w.com

    3) Google

    Which is less than 1% of the time.

    A simple bluetooth itunes controller with a now playing and the ability to search and queue up the next track when using airtunes. Or, even better the ability to use Rendezvous (nee Bonjour) to search and play your friends music via the iphone and airtunes. In essence a way to use airtunes from the iphone/ipod touch.



    A converter widget.



    ichat.



    video.



    back to my mac capability when connected via wifi.

    If you have a google maps widget and a stocks widget I see no reason to not at least include a dictionary widget?even if does depend on net access. Copy/Paste would be nice too. A good mail program. Etc? The iPhone needs work, but is still awesome.



    Actually I think the widgets should in their own little thing next to settings and real applications use those 14 spots. Like a gesture application, you hit that, draw your own little programmed symbol, and something happens. Shortcuts via drawing.



    Anyway.

    For you. Not for many many people who have to take the train to work or what not. For me, EDGE is not available everywhere I go. Its also slow. Even 3G is too slow for many things. I was at Church today using an online bible. By the time I got to a verse, it was too late. Same with dictionary.

    That would be nice but I think we should keep the stock icons as well...
