As you already may know if you follow the specialized blogosphere, iPhone has set a meeting for some invited parties on their Cupertino base on next tuesday, to show off what they have been working on for next iPhone firmware, as well as a new SDK.

That´s 3.0 firmware version, an such a jump (from 2.2 to 3.0), plus the fact of such an intimate event with selected media, must mean that Apple is cooking something big and juicy.

The wishlist was just too long, and the speculations of the coming changes covers all of them… These are the top-wanted features for iPhone:

1. Tethering. Which means using iPhone as a 3G modem from any non-mobile-connected device (e.g. your desktop, or your not-3g-laptop). Note that most iPhone rivals provide tethering. We´ve talked about this before, check it again for learning how to make your current iPhone tethering-capable (it´s not so easy).
2. Flash. Adobe is working on Flash support for iPhone since long ago, and recently they said they had a working version which had to be approved… I bet next 17th Apple will unveil that iPhone finally supports Flash !
3. Video capturing. That´s one of the inexplicable awkward things of the iPhone, I just can´t understand why they don´t support something that´s implemented on all camera phones since years ago. Next 17th will be a good moment for redeeming, so users won´t need to install apps for doing something basic.
4. MMS. Those are a kind of ghosts for the iPhone. another inexplicable thing, as MMS are not precisely new…
5. Cut & Paste. One of the more feverish requested feature. There are some “unnofficial” apps providing copy&paste on jailbreaked iphones, one of my favourites, OpenClip, get broke on firm 2.1.
6. Standard Bluetooth. Only Apple-certified bluetooth devices are able to understand iPhone´s bluetooth implementation. Now it´s the time for Apple to provide support for standard bluetooth.
7. Background processing. Don´t you hate losing your game advancements each time you hit the home button or on any entering-call ?
8. iTunes wireless syncing. What era is it ? Cables are just not needed anymore except for charging your phone (unless you have a Palm Pré with the TouchStone thing)
9. A decent GPS software. hope the new SDK announced next tuesday will help GPS software developers to provide a decent software for iPhone.
10. Real Push. Apple announced the MobileMe service along with firmware 2.0, but the service was never stable and they finally recalled it. If you need Real Push for any device, just try zuppex ! ;-)

These are the points the community wants fixed. Stay tuned with Sevenclick Blog&More for live news next 17th !
