So AT&T recently sent out a small survey of about 30 questions to most iPhone owners asking whether or not they’d like certain features or upgrades. Some of the questions were very interesting and show us what AT&T and Apple may be working on, they include:

How interested are you, if at all, in the following iPhone potential enhancements?

• Ability to control my DVR (TIVO) with my Apple iPhone
• Apple iPhone Insurance
• iPhone purchase anniversary rewards (free iTunes, videos etc.)
• Ability to use my iPhone as a credit card

These questions are all very interesting and lets hope we see them in the future. But in the survey AT&T also confirmed that there would be a 3G iPhone...in 2009. Now, we’re not sure if this was just AT&T talking or both Apple and AT&T, so we may have to wait another year before we see 3G in our iPhones.

Apple has posted the feature guide for the soon-to-start-shipping iPod Touch. A nice 85-page PDF document that will answer just about any question you have regarding the Touch. It covers everything from the Basics to Music and Video, Photos, the Wi-Fi Music Store, Applications and Settings.

It would have been nice to include a Notes application similar to the iPhone but overall the only real disappointment on the Touch is the lack of the ability to edit or create events on the Calendar. Of course both of my complaints seem a little silly considering the Touch is really an iPod and not a PDA.

With the launch of the iPhone inching closer, and closer, new information of its features among other things is flying left and right. With reports mentioning benchmarks, contracts and mysterious twelfth app, and ads, we are starting to get the whole picture of what the iPhone will offer. Not short of the previous things, MacRumors has got a hold of AT&T’s entire iPhone sales handbook, and posted scans. Interesting tidbits that Michael Rose from TUAW picked up on include:

• No IM on the iPhone at launch, SMS only for text messaging
• Simultaneous voice use and email/Web connections requires WiFi
• Bookmarks in iPhone Safari will sync back to your computer
• Weather & Stocks are the only Widgets mentioned in the training materials

Now there will probably be more features announced at the iPhone’s launch on June 29th, and who knows, maybe even tomorrow at WWDC. These little tidbits don’t reveal anything major, but do answer a few questions that have been asked about the iPhone since it was announced at Macworld.
