March 17th 2009 Apple has scheduled a Preview of the iPhone OS 3.0. I am looking forward to it, mostly that it will jump start my own iPhone development efforts, but also that they will address a few ‘gaps’ in the platform and built in apps.

First, I want to say that the v2.0 OS and iPhone is one of the best mobile platforms out there. The big caveat is that if you type a lot, you are better off with a Blackberry. But it has the better web browser, app support and it is and ipod.

So what could make it better, here are my top five:

1. Cut and Paste. Nuff said.
2. Back ground apps, the notification api never showed up.
3. Mail.app, landscape keyboard, would seriously close the typing gap in email
4. Mail.app, expunge when deleted, at least an option to do so.
5. Update Springboard to handle more apps. Nice problem for Apple to have, that people are struggling with Application managment.

I don’t really care that much about Flash, MMS or Bluetooth, but they would be nice too. Totally selfish list, lets see if Mail.app gets some love in this release.
