Feature Request: Coverflow for Contacts on the iPhone

I’m still really enjoying my iPhone after having had it for a week.  I upgraded the software to 2.0.2 and despite the mixed reviews I’ve seen on the Internet, I haven’t had any problems with it.

There is a feature I’d like to see in the iPhone software.  I’ve been running around taking pictures of my contacts so that I can have a pretty image pop up when they call.  But what I’d really like to be able to do is turn the phone sideways and get a “coverflow” view of my contacts with images, as I can do with albums in the iPod interface.

While I doubt Apple reads this site, I figured I’d put it out there.

    Thanks for the reply. Alas I suppose I'm committed to the iPhone at this point, and the lack of that feature is not a deal breaker by any means. But I do hope it's something that a future OS release supports.

  • Hi Michael, HTC has your dream feature exactly in their new and upcoming phones. I just compiled a list of coverflow clones floating around the web and mobile interfaces on my blog.
    I hope Apple builds on this idea.
