I think it’s all but imminent that the, one, or multiple iPhones are announced today at WWDC. In all of the excitement and rumors leading up to it, as an iPhone user, the hopes that I have I feel, are realistic.

I hope that GPS, Bluetooth A2DP,  is up in there. Hopefully the battery is a little bit better of a performer especially with the 3G and GPS options being a factor. I hope they didn’t fuck with the form factor and case design too much (but a flush headphone jack is more than welcome seeing as how I lost my $15 dollar adapter for the moment). I hope iPhone 2.0 is available today and that it blows me away. I hope the App Store opens today so I can drop loads of cash. I hope I can order a new iPhone today even if it doesn’t ship right away.

All of the rumors about a tablet, OSX for PC, would all be bonuses for me.

Also in this leadup to what looks to be a big iPhone day, I looked back on the last couple of months with my current gen (last gen) iPhone. Currently I’m still using ZiPhone as a jailbreak. The apps and customizations that come along with it need no introduction or explanation. I can safely say that I cannot live without apps like Twinkle, iFlickr, Summerboard, and MobileScrobbler. So today is a crossroads. Am I going to have to choose between two versions of functionality meaning, the apps that are ready for 2.0 or apps available via a Jailbroken iPhone? In my imaginary world, those four apps, amongst others will magically and quickly show up in the App Store. If that happens, I am ready to dish out cash for them immediately.

"Regular" functionality of the iPhone lately has improved by way of companies like Google just enhancing their code. The latest build of gReader is almost perfect. That’s a far cry from what it started out as. Web apps like Hahlo, now 3.0, have come a long way as well.

There’s also some weird things that I started to notice just based off of the amount of time spent with the thing. I was sweating profusely the other day and had my ear up to it in a phone conversation. When taking it off my ear to press some buttons on the keypad, they wouldn’t work. I had to dry it off. Then it was fine. And this past winter,  while driving, I learned you can’t use the iPhone with winter gloves. Probably obvious, but a rude awakening in the heat of the moment nonetheless.

One thing that really gets me sometimes, is when BLASTING music off the iPhone, while in the car at super high volume, and I am singing along, at high volume…the phone rings. Music cuts out (which is a spectacular feature in most other cases) and I’m left singing a cappella. Maybe this leads to a hold calls or go straight to voicemail button or mode.

As I’ve said many times in the past. The iPhone is a huge part of my daily routine and beyond. Whatever the new model is or is not, the ultimate hope is that it will seamlessly plug into where the old one left off and further advance and enhance my life. 4 hours to go to know for sure.
