I have a sug­ges­tion for Apple. Yes, I know they are (not) listening.

I think the next iPhone/iPod touch should have a WiFi but­ton. Like the power but­ton on the top, maybe on the other side of the device, it should glow a light blue when it is on. You’d use it to turn WiFi on and off on the device, with­out hav­ing to dip into the set­tings all the time. It would then be incred­i­bly easy to pro­long your bat­tery life.

What made me think of this? Run­ning out of bat­tery halfway through my flight yes­ter­day, par­tially due to con­stantly look­ing for WiFi at the air­ports. (Par­tially due to watch­ing a lot of TED, admittedly.)

There, Apple. All yours. The fifth button.

    I’d rather see some power man­age­ment improve­ments to the wire­less units in the iTouch.
