Two suggestions for iPhone 3G

After using the new iPhone 3G for a week, I can say it definitely is the best gadget I’ve had so far. I’m not going to praise the user interface and functionally of the device, but I can think of two suggestions to make it even better:

1. Notification light: An indicator light on the device can be very useful. This can show if there are any emails, SMS or voice messages waiting on the phone. The best place for it? The white rectangle on the Home button can flash an Apple white.

2. GPS Quick Fix: Living in London, I’ve noticed that it take a long time for the iPhone to fix it’s position (find where it is) when I come out of the Underground (Tube, Subway, Metro,…). TomTom provides a software for its devices called QuickFix which downloads the predicted position of GPS satellites so the device can fix it’s position much quicker. For TomTom it means you have to connect it to a computer or use Bluetooth and a mobile to do the weekly download. With iPhone a small weekly download can happen on the background.
