iPhones are just the best, love the touch screen technology.
Thanks for the informative post.

Mac had this back in OS 7. Location Manager and it would switch my networks, printers, lots of stuff.

So it’d be nice to finally get that back…

Yes, the Android app “Locale” does much of this. There aren’t location type or phone orientation based events, but some other apps in the Android Market are touching on that too.

That last image looks amazing, it’s something I’ve wanted for a while now.

A lot of times, I’ll be on the phone or computer finishing up something and someone calls me, but I won’t be ready to take it for 2-3 minutes. I’d like to have a button I can press that tells a specific message to the other person, like they can wait on the line for 3 minutes if they want. It would be a lot nicer compared to ignoring the call, getting a voicemail, and then calling them back right away. That seems like wasted effort and in a lot of those situations, I won’t have listened to the voicemail because I knew why they were calling.

I also want to start seeing more iphone to iphone features – I think that will drive a lot more people to getting it.

Location based events are already available on Symbian phones. My Nokia E71 can go to silent mode when I am at work or in a movie theater…
