I was speaking to a coworker this morning about the iPhone 3g, and we discussed some of the missing features of the 3g. Some of which sure to disappoint many. One of the most prominent omissions has to be the lack of video with the Phone. I recall having a phone 4+ years ago, an old Nokia with a radialesque keypad. That phone had video capabilities. How could 4 years later, "the most advanced handset on the market" not have this feature. The first version was ok without this, there were so many other revolutionary features, but the second iteration? Inexcusable.
Whether it's a hardware or software limitation is unknown. My suspicion however is that it is something which can be remedied through software. There is at least two options available to the jailbreak community, but where is the official app. For a device this advanced? What main functions was iPhone 1.0 missing? GPS, and a faster network. Both of which are being fixed this time around. What about some of the other most requested features?(Flash anyone?) Is Apple getting into the habit of delivering only what they have too to keep the masses content? One piece at a time in order to make us pay yearly for the next piece of Apple pie.
