Wish You Were Here

So the new iPhone firmware and software update is due out Wednesday (today). Great to see that the dev team have already cracked the new version. All the details available here.

We are just hours from the start of the Apple WWDC in San Francisco. What will be the WOW launch at this conference. For me, my hopes are pinned on upgrades to the iPhone. So will we get more than cut and past, will it extend to tethering your iPhone as a 3G modem or will Apple get adventurous.

Lets go past coloured cases and get onto the the big wins. For me these would include:

• The front facing camera and 3G video calling capabilities.
• Better camera resolution and maybe zoom.
• The ability for applications to run in background.
• A new software / hardware system that is faster in its response.
• Less call drop outs.
• MMS capabilities.

But the big question is will Steve Jobs appear – maybe on a 3G video call. In a few hours we will all know.
