While I’m griping I’ll add that the iPhone should also:

  • Support syncing over wifi (e.g. I come home, get on my wireless network and sync up to my mac mini
  • Support subscribing to podcasts within the iTunes app on the iPhone
  • background support for audio applications (or the ability to queue files up withing the ipod application even if the file is stored in an exteral app like spotify or audiobooks or dropbox
  • Approve the dropbox application goddamnit (does it really take 4 weeks of dead silence to approve and app?)
