The Apple iPhone finally launches on June 29, and while a lot of things have been said about the features that it will have, let's take this moment to look at the things that it won't have. Here's a list of newly-confirmed features that the iPhone will not have packed into its sleek and stylish case from gadget news site Gizmodo.

  • Apple iPhone - Image 1Songs as Ringtones
  • Games
  • Any flash support
  • Instant Messaging
  • Picture messages (MMS)
  • Video recording
  • Voice recognition or voice dialing
  • Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Streaming (A2DP)
  • One-size-fits-all headset jack (May have to buy an adapter for certain headphones)
This list raises quite a few questions. Earlier this year, video game companies such as Namco and Electronic Arts have confirmed that they are in talks with Apple about putting their games on the iPhone. While it is possible that these deals fell through, it is also quite possible that game support - as well as other features - will be added to the phone via later updates.

Today is Wednesday June 27. The iPhone comes out in two days, not tomorrow.

 » not what i was expecting

how could apple allow people to pay 500 or 600 dollars for a phone, 99 cents for music downloads, and not be able to use a single one for a ringtone. But im pretty sure you will of course be able to purchase them : ) LOL NOT!. o i forgot the minimum of 60 bucks a month. so you might as well duct tape a Razr to a tablet PC with iTunes

 » Well,

I always said I ALREADY have an iPhone: It's called the LG Chocolate. At least I can dial it without getting fingerprints on the screen.
