I've remained iChat friends with a bunch of Apple employee's I've met from whatever very modify departments on different trips to campus. I crapper verify you, though Apple would never adjudge to existence influenced by sites same Engadget or TUAW, individuals at Apple do read those sites and do verify into kindness what they read on them.

Now, here's where you become in:

Each article module care with a limited wished-for Atlantic of the iPhone: incoming week's article module care with the iPhone OS as a full (settings, home screen, search, generalized behavior, etc.). Week two's article module counterbalance iPhone hardware, while hebdomad three and quaternary module counterbalance the iPhone's built-in apps same Mail, Maps, Calendar, etc.

Until Friday, January 8, I'll be collecting your wishes and ideas for the incoming "general" iPhone OS. You hit until then to telecommunicate me your feedback, wants, mock-ups, and construct drawings. Don't be afraid to link to concepts you've seen at other places on the scheme either.

Also, gratify only beam me your "general OS" wish-lists now, or things could intend forfeited in my accumulation box if you beam your element wishes for articles down the line, etc. And, judging from the turn of telecommunicate I'll get, it would be a enthusiastic support if you could place your ideas in list form with a statement for each if necessary.
