Hidden iPhone Widgets
Apple has a
way of capturing people’s minds. For example, before iPhone found its way into the market, the company fed millions of users around the world
with the many features the phone can do. This includes typing using a virtual keyboard, selecting voice messages, zooming in and out of
photos, or surfing the Internet with the Safari web browser.
Despite the many features
iPhone have, others are still digging deeper, hoping to discover a lot more interesting stuff—and they are successful. A system preference
file has actually unveiled the many possibilities of using more widgets and applications for the iPhone. It’s just that one need to wait for
another firmware upgrade before they can be unlocked.
This system preference file is known as
the Default ApplicationState .plist. This contained not only a number of commonly used applications such as MobileiPod, Phonebook, and
Weather, but also other interesting features such as Radio, Unit Converter, and Translation. These three are not currently offered by the
iPhones sold today.
Everyone can simply deduce that the
Translation widget may be for translating various texts in different languages and that the Unit Converter is simply a conversion application.
However, what one should be excited about is the Radio. It has been a long time since iPod incorporated this feature into their unit. This
function was recently introduced only with the release of the iPod’s remote accessory known as iPod Radio. Thus, the chances for Apple to
integrate Radio to the iPhone may be quite slim.
All hope’s not gone, however, if you will
rely on the system preference file. We can just simply look forward to the time when Apple will introduce mobile radio streaming on iPhones
very soon. Another source of hope could be the mere fact that this is included in the firmware list. It may indicate that these programs or
widgets will be unlocked following an update in the firmware.
In the meantime, iPhone is just
relatively new. It hasn’t been like a month since people got hold of it and enjoyed and explored its capabilities. Nevertheless, one should
not deny the fact that if Apple wants to maintain that edge over all other mobile carriers, it must constantly update its firmware and develop
more built-in tools.
