iPhone has gone thru 3 cycle of evolutions. The 3rd gen, dubbed as 3GS, which many thinks S stands for Sex, is the closest iPhone to beating a BlackBerry as a communicator. They've started to 'push' mails, FB and other stuff now. But of course, 'close' is still very, VERY far actually.
iPhone's strong point lies in being an savvy Internet device, a mind-boggling gamepod and a rich multimedia machine. Even the highest-end BlackBerry could not get a sniff of these.
But, the fundamental of a phone is as a communicator. For battery sucking applications such as internet, games and multimedia, or GPS, it's always a better idea to use stand alone dedicated devices as the last thing a person wants is a dead phone. At that moment, even the lousiest Nokia will look like a million dollar diamond.
People who are proud that their phone is a wonder phone that can even cook a pancake will always sound like a moron when he approaches you to borrow your phone due to flat battery. These features are actually meant to be used as a time-waster. Not a replacement for a PSP, GPS or netbook.
But reality check, since men don't carry handbags thus we only carry 1 device at one time, it's always been my wish to have an iPhone with a BlackBerry connectivity. So, I hope the iPhone 4G would be the one.
But being practical, Apple only needs to have these on top of it's already brilliant capabilities:
Interchangeable batteries. Either that or a fusion powered battery cell that will last for 120years.
One handed operation interface. For example, some buttons are at bottom, and some at the top. The scattered buttons are hampering one handed operation.
Better keyboard layout. I hate that 2-second brain freeze everytime I need to add a symbol or a number. And I hate that frequent accidental pressing of caps lock button. iPhone sucks at keying in. Period. We can't even customize the Autotext function!
Multi tasking. The biggest killer. Fix this.
Better instant messaging. Sorry, I think this is the biggest killer. For now, we prefer third party solutions to IM. But it still can't group IM. In fact, it has so many shortcomings, I can't describe in 1 blog. So, I'm just shaking my head on this.
Anyway, my battery is running low again. Good thing I have my BB. But I love Apple products. So, i'm really wishing for the 4G.
But another alternative is, instead of Apple cracking their head to meet my demands ;-) maybe RIM needs to perfect their devices. And seriously, there's not much for them to do;
1) Include their QWERTY devices with multi-touch screen
2) Popularize their App Store (and make it available WORLDWIDE!)
3) Enrich the internet browser (see iPhone's Safari)
Just 3 minor tweaks for RIM, and waLLa! PERFECTION!
