What new features is everyone hoping for and/or expecting?

Here's what I want, and the % possibility I think it has of actually happening...

3G (100%)
GPS (66%)
Video recording capabilities (50%)
Camera Flash (25%)
Non-recessed headphone jack (75%)
Support for Bluetooth stereo headphones and remotes (75%)
More storage (50%)
A lower price (25%)
Copy/paste (90%)
Smaller size (75%)
Built in full featured todo list app (33%)
Sideways keyboard support in all apps (50%)

I think they are pretty much guaranteed a sale from me though, since all I was waiting on were 3rd party apps and 3G. Any of that other stuff is just going to be a bonus. Just so long as I can get one for $400 or less.

You have more storage at a 50% possiblity? That's the one thing I would put at 100% (next to 3G).

Theres's not a whole I would change to the iPhone hardware wise. 3G, GPS & more storage are a given so I will leave them out of my list.

- A visual indicator that lets me know I have new voicemail/email/text messages when the screen is off. (Pulsating home button maybe?)
- Non-recessed headphone jack
- Better camera with flash & video recording capabilities
- Louder external speaker
- A more scratch resistant backside

Software wise (from Apple)
- Copy & Paste
- Printer support
- Landscape keyboard for ALL iPhone apps
- Junk mail filtering in Mail
- An inbox listing email from all of my accounts.
- A way to view/hide separate calenders in iPhone Calender

My most wanted applications from third party vendors.
- Movie showtime/tickets
- A scoreboard app (somthing like Sports Tap)
- Unit converter
- Basic language translator
- A keychain that stores all my passwords
- Xbox Live Friends widget for iPhone

That's all I can think of right now.

Slick shoes?! Are you crazy?!

I don't care if they change a thing, I just wish they would start selling phones again.

3G (100%)
Carrier subsidies -> cheaper (75%)
More storage (75%)
GPS (66%)
Copy/paste (66%)
Bluetooth stereo headset (50%)
Landscape KB (33%)
Lower list price (25%)
Built-in encrypted password and notes storage app (10%)
User-exchangeable battery (5%)

I don't care about video or the camera at all actually.

In terms of third-party apps I want to see (in this order)
• ssh client
• Skype
• VNC client
• VLC
• FM Pro

I'd like for it to make me breakfast, perform sexual favors and rub my back.

No, seriously, I just really want 3G, Exchange support and a better camera... and I think we're getting all of that for sure. Better reception would be a plus... my Tilt gets MUCH better than my first generation iPhone.
