lol SWPYE ****ing sucks -- who gives a shit about the majority of this list? I'll admit the micro-hdmi port would be sweet, though.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Swype. I'd be lost without SwiftKey, though.

SwiftKey is great. Its prediction is fantastic and really does save a lot of keystrokes.
What kind of phone do you have?

I have to agree. I didn't like Swype at all.

And if you want HDMI out for your iOS device, the Apple Digital A/V adapter works very well. I have XBMC on my iPad, and I can output that via HDMI. Very handy for traveling and such. Output 1080p is purtty.

I have no idea if they'll have a solution for new devices using the Lightning connector though. Reducing the pinout like they did has removed the video out functionality according to Apple. That's a hot load of horse shit as far as I'm concerned.

I'd be dumbfounded if they didn't have SOME way to do video output.

Dropbox FTW.

Sweet, thanks!

No internet connection. Mentioned this already. ;)

AirPlay. I use AirVideo to pipe video (any format including AVI and MKV) stored on my server to the TV all the time. Audio too, for that matter.

Plugging a phone or an iPad into a TV across the room seems like ~2003 when I had RCA cables going from my laptop to my stereo.

AirPlay was supposed to be some kind of published standard, but not a lot of AV outfits seem to have picked it up. They're trying to get rid of cables and connectors all together at this point, which is the way of the future.

It's called iTunes match. I can get to all my music whenever I want.

Either of these do require digging a little deeper into the whole Apple ecosystem than just buying one thing without any additional services, but it all works really really well together.

Swype owns. When I pick up an iphone and try to type I get headaches it sucks so bad.

What if we don't want all of the additional services? What if we just want the device to work like every other device we have? Oh that's right, Apple can't gouge us for money if they allow that.

I've got the same types of services with Google as well as on my own NAS at home.

This just in.... Apple evidently added a "Laser keyboard" and "Holographic display" to its new model....

Silly reporter found an online video of several concept ideas that dont' exist, and went ahead and attributed it to the new phone....

lol I saw this earlier.. Ohhh Fox. It's like their iPhone research consisted of going to youtube and typing "iphone 5".
