iPhone Bingo from TUAW: What's Next?
What's next for the iPhone? TUAW hasn't a clue, but we've got ideas. Kooky ideas, like Chris Pirillo buys an iPhone, loves it, and rants about his errant ways and logical fallacies. We've got some pretty obvious ideas too, like someday iPhone will probably support Java-- maybe. More likely than the Pirillo scenario anyway.But if any of these or 22 other things come to pass, TUAW has you covered. We've created the iPhone "What's Next" bingo card for your long-term bingo playing needs. It may take years before Flash is on the iPhone, or the Pope gets one, but when they do you'll be ready with a penny or something to mark it down. Enjoy!
thanks to David Chartier and Dave Caolo for your help!

You may want to add some sort of real exchange sync. The way it is now, it will not work with any work Exchange email setup by a reasonable IT department (e.g. their exchange servers are not outside their firewall and running extra services). There were rumors that Apple was licensing one solution from MS last week that would work with MS OWA, but as of yet it doesn't exist. I love mine, and I have enough emails to get by even if it can't sync wirelessly with my work email. Adding this would bring many more customers to the fold. I had to explain to two people today that we could not sync their new iPhones yet, and I'm sure word will get around.

Also, a little off topic, but is there somewhere you can customize your password for this comment system. The randomly generated one I am assigned is not so smooth for my new virtual keyboard.

Technically, the second one under the U already happened. Remember Crisco?

Seeing the Command key logo after TUAW got me thinking... is there a keyboard shortcut used to type it? I know that Option-Shift-K is for the Apple logo (, which can't be seen on Windows btw), but I think I'd have an easier time writing keyboard shortcuts the one-character-per-key way (⌃⌥⌘8 instead of Ctrl-Opt-Cmd-8).
On a different note, I just discovered that Option-selecting a text field will select the text in a square! (gah, just try it out for yourself)

Pirillo will get one when Ponzi refuses to give him any until he does. She's the brains of the outfit.
Or rather, the one who actually has some taste. Pirillo is your stereotypical Microsoftie, just doesn't get the value of aesthetics. Give him a bulletpoint list of features and he's happy. Give him a nicely designed box and he'll scream at you.

I have had enough iPhone news thank-you. Can we go back to our normal programming?

How could you guys do an Apple Bingo idea without mentioning John Siracusa, which is clearly where you got the idea from?

He's been doing them for years.

Devon, you're right of course. I tip my hat to John for inventing Apple bingo.

How about Mobile Mail syncs to Mail (like, I read a message on my iPhone, it gets marked read when I dock or sent messages from the phone get pushed back to Mail)? I know its a little big for a bingo square, but that is keeping me on the fence.

I've already done the third one under W — the toilet. Not my best day.
