3G iPhone – What’s Missing?

3G iPhone

As the dust settles from Steve’s latest presentation we are left with what everyone was expectinng – a 3G iPhone. With all the bells and whistles out on the table, I leave you with nine things missing from this latest announcement. I’m not saying these features have been left out or will never be included – I just wish they were included.

(If they were announced and I missed it let me know in the comments).

What features are missing from the 3G iPhone?

  1. Multimedia Messaging (MMS)
  2. Video Capabilities (Should I buy a Flip Video or wait to see if iPhone has equivalent functionality?)
  3. Ability to use as a modem (something I can do with my BlackJack) so I can use the built-in 3G on my MacBook
  4. No mentions of iChat integration, but I think it is safe to assume this will be included with the “push” technologies or 3rd-party apps
  5. Ability to cut and paste (a rumored feature)
  6. Removeable / Expandable Storage
  7. Stereo Bluetooth
  8. Flash Support
  9. Audio Recording

What do you think is missing? Let us know in the comments.

Oh god how could I go from my 3G Blackjack that could take/send video to the iphone which has slower internet and no chat. I even had chat on the Blackjack (google that is). No Flash, and copy/paste, jeesh. I’m still going to get rid of my old one and pick one up I think.

Too bad you can’t buy them online, you have to sign a contract with Att when you buy it. U going to get one Andy?
