The mystery behind the next iPhone’s firmware version is making us curious, especially after reading that it will bring some huge and useful changes to the stellar phone. Recent news is suggesting some cool add-ons as:
- Web pages Flash support.
- MMS support.
- copy and paste support
- Camera video recording.
- Games
- Using iPhone as external hard drive.

This all thing makes us wonder if those features were hidden inside the original iPhone, why not providing them when the phone was first released. I guess we will be much smarter after the Macworld event this month.
