Apple Brings New Functionality to iPhone

this is so awesome. not. i love my iphone, but maybe there should be video, zoom, mms, IM, bluetooth transfer, make any song from your itunes library a ringtone, not just the ones with the stupid icon next to them, etc. this was pointless. thanks steve jobs. keep it up.

okay, i downloaded the new version of itunes, 7.6... how come it hasn't done anything? let me guess, it's not available yet, just announced. any suggestions?

Moving from EDGE to HSDPA would have been an equally great announcement.

Considering Apple is a computer company that has just released a phone that is a pretty good accomplishment. The only other Computer Company that comes to mind is HP that has made a phone. However when you consider that Apple had to design another OS just for there Phone product then I find that to be good thing. HP used what was already available MS Mobile.

Apple using their own programmers and design team to come up with a whole new OS for their equipment is nothing short of outstanding and should be complimented on an excellent achievement!

The other facet to consider is that the OS is new. Does anybody remember when Windows Mobile came out? There were alot of bugs to work out as well things you couldn't do and things you coul...

thanks steve for nothing, again.

always a day late and an app short....

Amazing, now the iphone can text message MULTIPLE people at once. Sounds like its time for Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Alltel to just pack it in!

Dear apple, get it together and add MMS. It makes no sense that a $400.00 phone can't even save a picture sent over MMS.

The weblink view was a temporary solution, you still need to address this issue. Your other option is to put out a patch to Safari to allow us to save images from Safari.

How many other phones have ever had a firmware update that wasn't a fix for a device issue (ie - the phone is effectively broken without it)? Or a simple rebranding? How many firmware updates have actually expanded the capabilities of a phone? How many companies have committed to supporting a device as thoroughly as computers & software are supported?

In terms of sheer capabilty, the iPhone doesn't do a lot that other phones can't, but it's drastically different from other phones in that Apple isn't treating it like a disposable attention getter while they work on the next 3 generations of the same model. Sure, there are other companies that give out minor firmware updates, and there are 3rd party software providers for ...

Do you have any idea how many corporate types would fling their Treos or other Windows Mobile devices out the window for an iPhone if it was capable of being hooked up to the company's exchange server? Who gives a rats ass about multiple SMS recipients or GPS location finders..... these are nice little things that might make a difference to some, but man, if I was Apple I'd be burning the midnight oil trying to tap into the business users market. Its the one thing keeping millions of people around the world from even considering buying one.

We've known about these for awhile, but it's pretty cool how much function has been added to the phone in just 6 months. Heck, even a month from now there'll be 3rd party applications, let the good times roll!

What steve announced today isn't big news, I admit.

But it's still one of the only phones that CAN be changed with an upgrade. So, I'll let it slide.

Steve also announced sliced bread and spam at a lunch convention earlier today.
