Harapan dan Prediksi versi Gizmodo:

Predictions

These are the changes that seem most likely, or that’ve been rumored previously. Since we don’t know anything for sure at this point, these are conservative.

• Multitasking: This could be anything from strictly managed multitasking for simple apps, to faux multitasking—process freezing that lets apps seem as though they’ve never been closed. This could almost be files under “hopes,” though, since the iPad doesn’t allow 3rd party multitasking as of now, and it’s not inconceivable that Apple could stick to their guns on this one. Thing is, if they don’t have this, what do they have?

• New UI elements: Don’t expect an entirely new interface paradigm, since with the iPad, Apple’s made it clear that they’re happy with the basic iPhone OS concept. But except some new UI elements, probably inline with the iPad’s.

• iPad adaption: The iPad and iPhone don’t interact directly right now, and in some ways (direct USB connection, for example) they never will. But the awkward way in which apps are shared between the two platforms now will probably have to be fleshed out a little.

• File syncing: The iPad does it, sort of, and there’s no reason the iPhone shouldn’t.

Hopes

• Better notifications: Everyone, from Google to Palm to Microsoft (in Windows Phone 7) has a better notifications system than the iPhone. There’s just too much going on your average iPhone now to rely on pop-up notifications, especially if they only effectively display one message, aren’t stored anywhere and interfere with what you’re doing.

• An active homescreen: Something besides an app grid would be nice. Even a slightly more informative lockscreen would work.

• iTunes streaming: Remote media streaming on the iPhone is great, but it’s functionality you have to introduce with paid apps. A lot of people already have the media piled into iTunes, so native streaming—preferably over 3g—would be great.

• iPad tethering: It’d undermine AT&T, and Apple’s upcoming 3G model, but seriously, so many iPad owners already pay AT&T for “unlimited” data each month. Of we’re not going to get full-on tethering, iPad tethering would be a step.

• Social Network integration/ the cloud: Facebook, Google contacts—these are services tens of millions of people actually use, and which our online identities are tied up in. Mobile Me is a marginal service that you have to pay for. This one’s a no brainer, but far from a sure thing.

Your Predictions and Hopes

Tell us! I’ll add the best ones to the post.

• MaxPoint wants to ORGANIZE:

I’d like to see some sort of way to have your apps in some sort of file folder system so you don’t have page upon page of icons. that was the first thing i thought when i got my first iphone.

Dave Zatz agrees, succinctly: “Folders.”

• Modestmouse goes broad:

It may not to be too extreme to expect or hope that the reason Apple went with iPhone 3.2 on the iPad was because 4.0 wasn’t ready yet. It’s quite possible we could see a more powerful and well rounded OS replace the iPads current one when 4.0 comes out.

• Mark 2000 doesn’t ask for much:

I want some very simple things. A pulser next to each email address as it’s checked. Right now you have one indicator at the top for all. I have 5 addresses.

Multitasking would be nice, but I don’t really want it for anything but audio apps. It would be better to let audio streamers tap into the ipod app so it could play after the app is closed and allow a popup play/pause/next controller. Other than that color me satisfied.

• jjpriest25 goes retro:

I seriously, whole-heartedly believe there will be an FM Radio app. I really, really do.

• MercuryShadow pleads for podcasts:

I, for one, hope that they start allowing podcast subscriptions to live on the iPhone. The idea that, in this day and age, one has to plug their phone into a computer to update their podcasts, is downright archaic. I know I can just go download them manually, but I should not have to.

• Roger H hates his girlfriend, or something:

Multi-user Login: Imagine my girlfriend uses the iPad but with her personalized settings not messing up mine

Gimana harapan dan prediksi kamu? share di comment yuk!

2 hari lagi!! Berarti iPhone Generasi 4 juga sudah semakin dekat.. Tunggu beritanya di iphoneindonesia!!

Masi Inget donk sama Skifree, game jadul jamannya Windows 3.1 dulu. Sekarang Skifree bisa dimainin di iPhone for FREE!!

Bonus:

Some app developer was smart enough to realize that the iPhone’s speaker pushes air around, and thus, can be used to move a little styrofoam ball around a fake soccer field.It’s 99 cents, and it looks like a lot of fun. It would be even better if there was some kinda camera/judging thing that lets it automatically know when you’ve scored.

What else could you use the iPhone for that actually interacts into real space? Maybe something involving screen brightness and night lights? [iTunes Link]

TEMPO Interaktif, Jakarta – Karyawan Microsoft juga manusia biasa. Sebagian mereka juga ada yang tertarik menggunakan iPhone, tapi mereka kini harus sembunyi-sembunyi.

Soalnya, CEO Microsoft Steve Ballmer tak suka karyawannya memakai ponsel selain yang berbasis Windows. Microsoft memang sendiri secara resmi menantang iPhone dengan meluncurkan Windows Phone 7 da menggandeng beberapa produsen.

September lalu sempat kejadian unik. Seorang karyawan Microsoft memotret Ballmer dengan iPhonenya. Ballmer pun meminta ponsel itu lalu dia meletakkan di lantai dan pura-pura menginjaknya.

Aksi teatrikal Ballmer itu membuat karyawan Microsfot kini harus sembunyi-sembunyi bila memakai iPhone. Juru bicara Microsoft tak mau berkomentar soal ini.

Pemakai iPhone di kantor Microsoft tidaklah sedikit. Tahun lalu tercatat ada sekitar 10 ribu iPhone yang mengakses surat elektronik di kantor Microsoft. Di antara mereka adalah para petinggi Microsoft seperti J. Allard yang menciptakan game Microsoft Xbox. Angka 10 ribu itu berarti sekitar 10 persen dari total jumlah karyawan Microsoft di seluruh dunia.

Fenomena itu, mungkin dianggap orang seperti orang di kantor Coca Cola yang minum Pepsi. Aneh, kan?

“Tidak aneh,” kata Andy Lee, vice president Microsoft untuk pengembangan di luar negeri. Menurut dia, para karyawan Microsoft itu memakai produk dari pesaing karena ingin memahami kompetisi.

iPhone di Amerika Serikat saat ini mengungguli Windows Phone 7. Akhir Januari 2009, iPhone menguasai 25,1 persen pasar ponsel pintar. Sedangkan Windows menguasai sekitar 15 ,7 persen. Itu data menurut comScore.

You can’t blame them Steve..

Research yang baru-baru ini dilakukan oleh Katy Huberty seorang analis dari Morgan Stanley menyatakan bahwa penjualan iPad akan berpotensi melampaui target penjualan dan iPhone generasi berikutnya akan lebih murah dari model-model sebelumnya. Selain itu ia juga memprediksikan iPhone generasi selanjutnya akan dirilis pada bulan Juni nanti.

Fortune reports on a new research note from prominent Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty citing strong sales of Apple’s iPad and the potential for increased growth in the iPhone segment from new models she predicts will carry lower total cost of ownership as drivers for Apple’s stock price over the next several years.

In a report to clients issued Friday, Morgan Stanley’s Katy Huberty offered one of her patented risk-reward snapshots of Apple (AAPL), this one even more optimistic than the last, thanks to what she sees as two new catalysts:

- The iPad launch in March. Huberty is anticipating unit sales of 6 million in calendar 2010, considerably higher than the Street’s consensus of 3-4 million
- New iPhones in June. She’s expecting new models that offer “both a lower total cost of ownership and new functionality, potentially including gesture-based technology”

Huberty doesn’t appear to have elaborated on the basis for her iPhone prediction or exactly what she means by “gesture-based technology”, and it is unclear whether such cost of ownership savings would primarily come from the cost of the device itself or the much more significant monthly subscription pricing offered through Apple’s partner carriers, as both have been cited as significant barriers to entry for customers.

As part of her analysis, Huberty offers three “bull scenarios” that see Apple’s stock pricing surging to between $325 and $435 by fiscal year 2012 depending on the balance between subsidies paid to Apple by carriers and global market share. Huberty also offers tamer scenarios in which Apple’s iPhone proves to show slower growth, and projecting stock prices in the $180-$250 range.
