While browsing my feed of updated iPhone applications, it occurred to me that you can find some of the iPhone deficiencies just by looking at the multitude of applications1 with similar features:
- streaming radio (this is the one that sparked my observation)
- cut and paste
- wide screen email
I say deficiencies because these features should be included in the default iPhone functionality and software. Obviously there is a lot of demand, or people wouldn't be creating them. Sadly, the latter two aren't really good from a usability standpoint. As with all things concerning Apple and obvious features, why streaming isn't included in the iPod functionality is a mystery.
I'm sure there are other examples. What have you noticed?
1 Of course, almost all of the apps in the store are games, novelties (i.e. useless), or simplistic todo/notes applications. My premise goes awry unless one thinks farting should be a built-in feature...
