Enhancement: Placeholder text for ion-select component

[vijquick]

The current version beta.8 of ionic 2 doesnt allow to set placeholder text for ion-select . This would be a useful feature to have considering the real estate that we have in mobiles screens. Without this we have to add additional element either label or div to specify the placeholder text.

Thanks for the issue! This will be in the beta 9 release. 😄

Well done @brandyscarney. Thank you.

@brandyscarney it would be nice to have an option to have the default select behavior inside of <ion-select>, because the user needs to tap one more time in the "Ok" button to select the option.

@juarezpaf I'm not sure I understand. Is there an issue open for this?

[juarezpaf]

@brandyscarney not yet! I'll open one this weekend. Thanks a lot.
