If you had some say in what apps they developed for the iPhone what would you want them to make. I'm thinking either iTunes with internet radio (the first iPod with radio!) or an app that would allow you to watch TV.

A program that goes about its business like this

Porn download manager extension for Safari -> MPEG-4 converter -> video section of the iPod on the phone.

I thought a full version of Safari is in the iPhone...so why couldnt you just add a download manager to it like you would to the OS X computer version....things that make you go hmmmm!!

As someone who's actually planning on getting an iPhone, I've got a nice little wishlist, actually

- iWork or Google Apps (at least Google Docs and Spreadsheets for productivity on the go
- iChat for AIM chatting on the go
- Java and Flash support for Safari
- iTunes with iTunes store because an iPod app seems to limiting and iTunes has a more "full-featured" kind of image
- RSS reader
- Games for diversions when desperately bored
- Garageband and Apple Loops for composing ringtones on the go (also serves are a nice diversion when bored; Sony Ericsson has a ringtone composer built-into their phones)
- iWeb (I never use iWeb, but I'm sure there's people who would want on an iPhone)

I'm sure I can think of more later on, but even without those apps, the iPhone does feel like a Newton revival, except designed more with Apple's "lifestyle-to-go" focus rather than Windows Mobile's "do everything no matter what" approach.
MacBook Core 2 Duo 2.16 (Black)
iPod classic 160GB
iPhone 8GB
