(i) The ability to turn off Low battery warnings. How much power must this waste ???? Beeping and putting the light on full pelt

Hey, I think weve finally found an iPhone feature Mark likes :P

when my battery is low the bloody thing has enough to display all the crappy start up screens and then turn itself off like 50 times but it doesnt have enough to show the time or missed calls :/
I know sh*ts bad right now with all that starving bullsh*t and the dust storms and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings.

knighty

what about disabling side buttons ?

Im sick of answering my phone only to tell people to hang on while i turn my volume up !

The start screens are annoying. Phones shouldnt need to display the maker of the goddamn phone, its on the outer shell!

They should just start.

Id agree with this, a genuine all in one sort of solution but for me it would have to have shed loads of storage to replace my media player, 80GB at a minimum.

Mine has it. XDA Orbit II.

Youre right. Business card scanners, barcode scanners, and QR Code Scanners are primarily applications that provide extra functionality to the camera. I used to use one on a Nokia N80. GPS and Wifi is quite common nowerdays, sound out... you require a 3.5inch jack connection, most phones provide this through their headset adapters.

Wireless audio... again the new bluetooth stack adds this. As for universal remote, I miss Nevo on my WM5 pda with its C-IR function meant I could use it to control almost anything.

That pico projector would be awesome!

Think Id rather it be a standalone unit and have different connectors for various items, as if I bought one for use with my phone, Id be so pissed off if I then had to buy another one for use with an ipod or similar.

I wouldnt have any use for tv on a mobile device.

There is nothing quite as pathetic as watching video on a tiny screen.

What about rubbing one out into a bra an ex-girlfriend left at your house whilst crying about her leaving you?
