Ten things the iPhone really needs
1. Native Copy/Paste functionality with clipboard application for management.

2. Flash support! I assume you're keeping it off for strategic reasons, but why bother unless you're planning on getting into the web multimedia delivery and creation tool business.

3. An FM Radio receiver and tuner software. Mixed with streaming internet radio and podcasts this negates most arguments for satellite radio.

4. Streaming audio/video from Apple TV or iTunes library, including over Edge, like Orb does.

5. Better content management - like contacts, bookmarks, calendar, and app settings. You are really limited in what you can do with these things. Would be nice to have an app on the iPhone that helped in managing these items rather than flipping a switch in iTunes that syncs everything to specific software on your computer. I personally do not like having a third party web service for syncing my personal and private data between my phone and computer. I certainly like it less that they charge me to sync my personal and private data between my devices!

6. Better camera, higher mega pixels to keep inline with other Smartphone mfgs.

7. A video recorder with upload, like to YouTube, ability.

8. External storage, like a micro flash slot, so applications like Mobile Finder can make use of them for moving data around between devices. As of now I always need a network to move data from the phone to my computer. Don't worry, people will always by bigger hard drives regardless of external storage Apple...

9. Talking turn by turn directions for your GPS and voice command recognition.

10. The ability to run iPhone applications on the OS X desktop through iTunes. I already predicted this will happen at some point, along with a release of OS X for standard hardware.

These 10 little things would make the jailbreak less important and would make your device very hard to beat in the market place!

If we use RIM as a guide, Apple will implement half of those features sometime in the next 5 years.

Something to look forward to!

In all seriousness, it seems like Apple designs hardware with the idea in place that there will be another version in one year's time. Somewhat like Microsoft's approach of waiting to impliment features in the next service pack so that the bugs in the initial release can get found by users first.

That sentance structure was odd, confusing and hard to understand but it will be adressed in version 2.1
