iPhone Cons…For the Most Part

Posted on June 27, 2007 at 10:38 am (PST)

So here’s what’s been confirmed about the Apple iPhone and the tid bits it doesn’t have. I have to admit, some things on the list suprised me. Why take a step backward on these features?

Stuff in Bold = Are you kidding me?

Doesn’t do this:

• Songs as Ringtones
• Games
• Any flash support
• Instant Messaging
• Picture messages (MMS)
• Video recording
• Voice recognition or voice dialing
• Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Streaming (A2DP)
• One-size-fits-all headset jack (May have to buy an adapter for certain headphones)

Stuff we already knew it didn’t have:
• 3G (EV-DO/HSDPA)
• GPS
• A real keyboard
• Removable battery
• Expandable Storage
• Direct iTunes Music Store Access (Over Wi-Fi or EDGE)

Just when we thought the 3 in 1 combo was enough.  Some of these missing in the iPhone are crucial to the way we communicate via cell phone.  Now here’s a few good reasons why you might want to wait for the second one.
