bluetooth keyboard driver
attachable slide-out keyboard (would work eh?)
guitar tuner
native IM app
true GPS nav app
a good mail client
a good call manager
a good message manager

and more to add, but it's not worth it... did you read the symbian news?.. I just hope they won't drop the keyboards, or I'll really be dissapointed

*REAL* GPS. Either an apple supported dock connector dongle thing or bluetooth support. If they announced this for the iPhone, I'd order that same day.

The two things stoppoing me from buying one:
1. A checking/money management program.
2. Password Manager.

pretty boring I know. But they're both necessary for a lot of people.

[Dan K. @ Oct 17th 2007 1:26PM]

Bob C., A checking/money management program and a Password Manager already exist for the iphone.

I'll second the vote for Quicken integration. Right now, that is one of the main things keeping me from switching to the iPhone. I use PocketQuicken to sync transactions from my Treo to my desktop.

video conferencing would suck because there's only one camera.

I'll throw my vote in for the Personal Finance manager with Quicken/Money sync. I sent an email to Steve Jobs with some suggestions for this. His response was that they're working on many of the things that I suggested. My advice is for all of you that want this to email the guy at [e-mail]. I received a pretty quick response on a Saturday eve. Whether it was him or not I guess I'll never know but it did say "From Steve's iPhone".

As for the password manager, try 1Password (http://1passwd.com/). It actually syncs up to the iPhone really well using a secured, offline Safari interface. I have all of my passwords and credit card info in my iPhone. Again, the beauty of it is that it doesn't require for you to be online. Try it out.

the kind that bricks up the phone.

[CUBSWILLWIN @ Oct 17th 2007 4:18PM]

Maybe a GPS app made by apple except someone like Garmin or TomTom helped making it. Maybe copy and paste. Throw in some apps for AIM and yahoo IM. Wifi sharing through iTunes would be cool too. Keep the NES apps for sure. Maybe different internet browser support. And for the finishing touch... A built in lightsaber!!!!!!!!!!!!! JK 'bout that.

I want to see the apps which should have been on the iPhone in the first place develop by Apple and put on for FREE! We are still waiting/hacking for simple things however we should not be the one's to do Apple's developing dirty work for simple things, cut & past, IM, etc... That way their wont be any BS towards why the iPhone is locking up and no longer pristine.

Nice try Apple... Thanks for the SDK kit however we are still waiting for those Awesome iPhone apps. It's your product; you get to work... not us!
