Wish List: Days before iPhone 3.0 firmware release date

As an iPhone user, I will be eager to learn what new features Apple (AAPL) have included in its iPhone’s 3.0 firmware release. The Internet has been buzzing as to what those new features will be; we mentioned in an earlier post that the Smartphone would be getting cut and paste.

The first iPhone was launched more than two years ago, and although there have been a number of firmware updates; the device still lacks many features. One such feature is Multimedia messaging, a very basic feature that is missing in what is thought to be the best handset on the market.

There is a huge list of features that I as well as other Apple iPhone users would like to see in this update, Cnet have wrote an article about what features iPhone 3.0 firmware needs to have, we have listed a few of them below.

Wish for iPhone 3.0 firmware:

• A landscape keyboard
• Cut and paste
• File transfer/mass storage
• Flash support
• Full search
• More Bluetooth profiles
• Multimedia messaging
• Real time turn-by-turn directions
• Resend option for text messaging
• Send appointments to contacts
• Task manager/background processing
• Tethering
• Text forwarding
• Video recording/more camera options
• Voice dialing/speed dialing
