Feature
Description
3D clouds, Larger render distance and transparent hot-bar[11]
Tommaso tweeted "So with this setting you can see the whole of an MCPE world at one glance" also stating you need an "uber-phone" for this setting (meaning that the device must be up to date and probably recently purchased). Along with this tweet was a picture taken in game from the corner of the world which shows the far render distance, 3D clouds and the transparent hot-bar. The transparent hot-bar seems to be worked on for 0.8.0.
At the Minecraft Pocket Edition panel at MineCon 2012, as well as one of Jbernhardsson's livestreams, it was stated that future plans include trying to have a proper use for cameras, perhaps an easier way to take screenshots and share them with others. Since the addition of toggling the GUI on and off, the camera has become useless except for taking a frontal picture. It's possible that they may never implement the camera because of this feature.
Johan said that redstone will be mineable in 0.8.0, however, they still can't be placed as redstone wire. They are planning to add it slowly per update starting in 0.8.0
Johan mentioned on the 0.7.0 livestream that Skin packs will probably be added soon, or maybe they will go with customizable skins instead, or maybe even both.
