well, no one can say for sure but it sure sounds like OS level twitter integration meaning potential to do the kind of stuff that was demoed in Mango the other day.
could also make it more seamless for third party apps to integrate twitter (you don't need to enter your twitter account info for each app)
and, yeah, notifications without having to use boxcar.

I'm pretty attached to the flatness. Say what you want about the OS but when it comes to the phone itself I think they iPhone 4 may be the most beautiful electronic device I've ever owned.Charred Greyface said:

My dad has an OG Droid running on the Verizon network, and he's contemplating switching me and my mom over to Verizon to get the whole family on one bill (me and my mom are rocking old-school Nextel phones, and my sister has a Blackberry on the Verizon network). My dad offered to buy me an iPhone, but I want to wait on the iPhone 5. Do the rumors indicate that it will have a faster processor?

When you say not until Fall, you mean the rumored 4S, or the 5?
New notifications system would be nice, but there is only things that I really care about: Apple exposing the API for quicklook and spotlight(with siri natural language integration) on iOS.
This is where the future will be at, this will get them the most bang for their buck, and I believe the time is right to do it now. I fear that they will focus on iCloud (which is also good and needed) this year and push off what I'd like done until iOS 6. *sigh*

heh heh, he can squeak out a compliment for the competition if they make certain, clever design choices
he's also praised web OS many times, as well.
I guess that means cards are coming to iOS
(no it doesn't)

I have no desire for a new iPhone with my 4.
I love it as much as I did when it popped out of my wife's vagina.

The wait for this is kinda killing me. Can't wait to see iOS5.
My big "wish" for the iPhone is that Apple announces that the iPhone will now be available on any and every provider out there including T-Mobile, Sprint and the one I need it on, Virgin. Even as a Prepaid option. I'd pay full unsubsidized price for an iPhone if I could get it on my cheap monthly Virgin $25/mo plan. I keep holding out for it.

I heard from my sources my boss that corning is investing in curved glass substrates. So maybe apple will be a buyer or samsung.
It's also really ridiculous that it still can't be officially unlocked in the US.Jasoco said:

Reading Macrumors.com, it sounds like the iPhone 4S may be available on T-Mobile and Sprint.Jasoco said:

Two out of three ain't bad, I suppose.
Faster processor, better camera... if the 4S has a 64GB option so I can stuff it with music and apps, I'll get that. I'm convinced that the iPhone 5 is just going to have the curved glass stuff and 4G.

Maybe he just really wants to play Centipede on his iPhone...
Yeah. All I ask is a prepaid option. I don't care about the price of the phone initially. I just need a lower monthly price. I don't even care who it's on. And I don't mean a "special iPhone" version of a plan where it costs more for less just because I am an iPhone user. I want the same plan that all the other prepaid phones on that provider have.
I use Virgin currently because they offered an Android phone for a cheap price and a nice $25 per month plan that gives me more minutes than I need and UNLIMITED data and texting. UNLIMITED for $25. Even if I use the GPS or SiriusXM stream constantly. If this were AT&T I'd most certainly be getting some limited data cap. And I would hope that Virgin wouldn't decide to cap their data for iPhone users just because they feel that's where it's mostly going. Fuck that shit. While the Android is nicer than the last three phones I've used, it still doesn't compare IMHO to my iPod and iPad. I'd love to replace my iPod/Android combo with an iPhone.
Pipe dreams. It's taking way too long for the iPhone to trickle down into other providers. When Android is available on pretty much everyone and iPhone is only on two, it's kinda sad. I know most of it was because of the contract, so I am hoping that now that it's over it'll happen in time.
I don't know too much about each provider to know what requirements each one needs. SIM cards, antenna types, other stuff. So I don't know what Apple would need to do to their phone to make a single universal iPhone that could work anywhere no matter what. But I really want one.

Yeah, they should totally revert back to aluminum, the iPhone1 was so badass when it came out. Oh man, if it was all squared and unibody.. that would be so killer. OH MAN imagine when it gets cold, it would feel so nice to touch. *shiver*
LED/Notification revamp is the only thing I genuinely care about software wise. They need to move spotlight somewhere else and then have swiping left bring you to a notification panel. Make it seem like the homescreen is sliding away to reveal a little tray underneath with the App icons on the left and the information to the right of it. I'll take a lanyard eyelet too while I'm at it.

Jasoco, you should consider getting one from Canada if Apple doesn't start selling them unlocked in the US. you can get them unlocked up here from any Apple store.
maybe after the initial launch hype dies down, you can get one shipped to your place from ebay or similar without some crazy markup.

My cheap Android doesn't have an LED either. So if I get a notification, I don't know it came in unless I hear it. But I use an app that will remind me, plus I'm constantly checking it anyway so it's no big deal. Does the iPhone remind you of a message? Or is it one time only? I used to have two cheap Net10 candybar and slider phones that reminded me of messages every 10 minutes. Since then nothing.

I think it plays your SMS notification once 15 minutes later, but thats it.Jasoco said:

speaking of notifications, I'd like to again say that iOS alerts fucking suck.
I can't count how many phone calls I've missed because I only looked at the lock screen. If a CNN or Sportacular alert pops up after a missed call, the missed call alert simply disappears (on the lock screen). Sometimes I assume that I haven't missed any calls when I have. Very frustrating. It's the only thing I can say I've been frustrated with.

Only reminds for SMS/MMS and missed calls (not 100% sure on the latter though). For any other app, it only reminds once and the notification even stops appearing on the lock screen.Jasoco said:
Oh, and yeah, as Dreams mentioned, latest notification overrides any prior notification on the lock screen.
Tobor said:
Instead of a led, I'd rather have this:
http://www.appleinsider.com/article...oping_always_on_iphone_status_indicators.html
It really needs to list a few of them and tell you how many other notifications you have as a number. Then make it say "Slide to view" when there's a notification or more there.Koodo said:
I really hope there's actually something coming and this isn't al just rumor speak with no payoff. Because I'd hate to build up for huge disappointment for this one feature.
For the lock screen, I was thinking of something like a bar below the clock that just displays a small version of the app icon with a badge that shows the number of notifications for that app.Jasoco said:
That's really all I need. I just want the lock screen to always show me all the apps that have a pending notification, not just temporarily tell me the latest notification.
Yeah. Nice Apple style monochrome icons for phone, text and other. No clutter. And only the most recent one as text on screen.
Then put access to the list under the Home double-tap screen above the running apps in the area that is normally a darkened image of the current application. i.e. that unusable space that is perfect for a list of notifications.
I mean the alternative is to copy Android and make it a swipe gesture on the status bar, but I think putting it with the running apps would be more Apple-like.

heh. I'm using a Nexus one now, after a brief foray into the scary world of BB, and it's nice sometimes to have a hardware control that both faster and more precise than touching the screen with a fat finger. *shrug* Maybe Apple could copy the back grooves on that new PSP Sony is making.Tobor said:
