Look at the contacts screenshot.

There's something odd there, the letters down the right hand side are visible in the screen pane - is that bad programming or intentional??

Why dont Apple just introduce a version of spotlight for the iphone so the search can go across all apps and files?

Pretty obvious to me - so how come they havent done it?

I'd have thought they would have added the still missing To-do application by now.

agreed. to-do seems pretty basic for a handheld device.

We need the ability to search the ENTIRE PHONE, not just the contacts: the ability to search the note pad, the contacts, the calendar, etc.

The Palm Treo lets you globally search the ENTIRE PHONE -- all your applications -- with one simple search command.

Come on, Apple!!! Give us what we need!

I Agree with Petey, cross the board spotlight search for the iPhone. Though if you think about it, it'd only be searching notes, bookmarks, contacts, and calander items, unless it's also opened up to custom applications developed with the iPhone SDK

@MacBill

Who is "we"?
I don't need it, haven't needed it in nearly the year I've had my iPhone, and don't really foresee needing it, either.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's an okay idea, but I haven't, don't, and probably won't need the ability to search my entire phone.

The moral of the story is;
Speak for yourself, and don't assume everyone *needs* the things that you do.

I saw this feature in India;

record a voice message...

Then send it like a text.
How cool would that be?

I want MMS and the ability to resend an SMS to another person or even forward one that I've received.

If you are doing business on the iPhone you will need global search and copy and paste.
My Palm is dieing and my nokia sucks but without copy and paste I will have to replace my old Palm with a "new" one. Apple can't offer everything at once but not having those basic features is disappointing.
