Killer App for the iPhone (Score 1)

Leopard, Apple's forthcoming system, is to be released more or less at the same time as the iPhone. Leopard might well be thought of as in synch with the forthcoming iPhone. What the iPhone truly needs to succeed, in view of its obvious disadvantages (high price, limitation to Cingular, small memory for music/video, lack of voice dialing, etc.) is a KILLER APP. Such an app could well be DICTATION-OCR SOFTWARE (since a microphone is already present, and a stripped down OS X) . . . software that would let a user dictate an outgoing Email, or text that could go into a rudimentary word processor (like TEXTEDIT), and thence to a memory file or, by any one of several means, to a printer if desired. Then that device, trademark issues permiting, could be renamed the POCKET MAC ! And then that software could well be incorporated into LEOPARD, which would give it the boost needed to stand out as more than a slight improvement over TIGER !
