Screw the Consumer

Another day addicted to the iPhone, and another to-do list for Apple…

- Add BCC for emails.
- Add access to an outbox in email app. This is to allow resolution of emails that could not send due to some or other error (in my case, wrong username has resulted an in orphan email stuck in an outbox I cannot access… and it’s a pain to deal with each time POP3 email is checked).
- Add and remove widgets. Choices please! At worst, how can I remove stocks? It’s useless to me.
- Searchable contacts. Including attributes within contact details.
- Save email photo attachments to photos.
- Magnifying glass for cursor placement in Notes. It’s everywhere else, just not in Notes.
- Screen brightness and contrast control. Seriously, why is this missing? Aircraft go dark at night and a bright screen pi$$es people around me off, and robs me of battery time. I’ve a five hour flight to San Jose tomorrow that I’ll try this on.
- Safari crashes more than three times an hour. Difficult to reproduce as crashes are inconsistent across same set of websites. It’s not so irritating because it doesn’t complain in a Windows way, but it’s still noticeable.
- Some pull down menus on websites don’t work in Safari. (e.g. PayPal.com).
- Password keychain required. Or some browser memory for login details. Having to manually type on this device for my strange usernames and passwords is a pain in the butt.
- Email account folders support on device. Without having to do anything on the synced computer.
- In-device help system and user guide . It’d be simple to do, I’m sure, and as most big problems occur when connectivity is non-existant it would be great for Apple to extend the incredible work they’ve done in introducing and training the public on the product into the product itself for the first few weeks of learning with the device.

Still, incredible device though. I’m looking forward to more exploits that’ll let me get away from the bending over I’m having to do for AT&T to use the iPhone (like here and here and here).
