5 More Things Apple's iPhone 4G May Bring In 2010

One of the most requested features is native email push on the iPhone for all systems. Currently, the iPhone only provides push email if your account is on a Microsoft Exchange server or Yahoo, not if you are on POP, iMAP, AOL or Gmail. This is an essential add-on in the iPhone 4G should Apple ever want to compete effectively with RIM's Blackberry range.

The App store has been one of the main reasons why the iPhone is so popular. Without it, Apple's phone would simply be just another mobile phone builder locked in a race for better hardware.

But with great success comes a management nightmare. With more than 100,000 apps currently on the market, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find the apps you want.

Either use the frustratingly slow iPhone interface or iTunes - which is equally slow. Maybe Apple should try to get Safari to do the job or think of a better way to offer access to the App Store.

Reducing the time needed to search and install an App will encourage iPhone users to install more apps. By doing so, it not only increases the average number of apps installed per device but also significantly increases the chance of getting these users to buy the Apps (and bring in even more revenue).

And our last bonus expectation for the iPhone in 2010 is to get a change in the form factor. Hence, we hope that Apple will launch the mythical iPhone Nano with a lower price tag; until now, the Cupertino-based company has always pushed its older versions down the pecking order when new ones were introduced, rather than refresh its whole range.
