Well, the much anticipated and speculated iPhone 3G specs as well as the iPhone 2.0 update details are official. Below are my (current) list of disappointments:

1. No video (agrees with iJustine - “Steve, what WERE you thinking?” or who wasn’t thinking may be more like it)
2. No two-way camera for video chat
3. Though it sounds like there’s a way to save photo from email, no save picture from web page
4. No picture via SMS/text
5. No solution to the lack of copy/paste (but we have Exchange/ActiveSync support… woohoo?!?!)
6. Ability to add a phone number from an email or text message, not just call it
7. Icons for clock and weather should be updating on the home screen by now
8. Press and hold on a web page or email should initiate a submenu with all those useful options we need

Perhaps some of these they figure some third party apps will solve and thats why they have not tackled them yet. But to me these (at least) seem like some of the no brainers which should have been done by now. Am I missing something? Did I say something wasn’t available and it was announced?

UPDATE June 15, 2008

Oh… how COULD I forget.

9. Yes, FLASH. C’mon! Even though I despise FLASH websites, so many folks are enamored with it so what’s that old saying… if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em? Hasn’t Apple enjoyed a delightful affair with Adobe all these years?
10. (Because Letterman says you have to have 10) Why can’t I change my desktop from black to a photo of my choice. I don’t stay on that unlock screen long enough to make changing that a useful thing.

11. Phone as modem! I want to be able to hook my phone to my computer and use my unlimited data plan to access Internet through iPhone from laptop.
