Customizable wifi/bluetooth/3g shortcut that shows on the homescreen, if the icon is green/blue it is turned on, if gray it is off. One tap and it toggles on/off..... I would use this, I am sure some would not, hence the customizable.....:)

that copy paste feature should be a grip at apple right now - even if you try to reply gregoov post on your iphone, you may find that is dead slow to scroll the textarea (theres no gesture to do it, you have to touch the bottom of the textarea to scrolldown 1 line)
so theres something to be improve here besides the copy paste

Let us customize the dock or remove it completely. I jailbroke my iphone just so I could get rid of that lame dock (not lame duck) . I love the original ipod touch dock. I think they would do well to include some customization features with the next release. Developers could post themes on the app store- bring in more revenue everyone's happy.

I have another one... I think it would be cool to have an icon on the homescreen to toggle on/off wif-fi instead of having to open up settings each time.

Many of those that have already been listed, but a couple I haven't seen:

1) Ability to turn off auto-rotate in Safari
2) Ability to see new messages from multiple email accounts on one screen (or at least some shortcut for switching between inboxes for those who have multiple accounts)

Looking at this from the Touch perspective:

  • Copy and Paste (Even the Newton had this and it was discontinued 10 years ago!)
  • Ability to read anything, including e-mail, in landscape mode.
  • Landscape mode text input
  • Organize the icons on the iPhone/Touch via iTunes.
  • Turn off WiFi by tapping on the icon in the upper left of the display.
  • Display the time and date by taping on the time. Also show any pending alarms.
  • When outside of WiFi range, display dialog asking to turn off WiFi or not. Include in system settings.

MMS (duh)
Video capture from the camera.
Marking emails as read.
Copy/Paste
Syncing over wi-fi. (why plug in a cord if I don't have to?)
Making folders in mail so I can click the move and move stuff to them.

That pretty much sums up my needs. I would also like the addition of Nike+iPod in the iPhone.. since its been discovered that it uses the bluetooth adapter to utilize this functionality I expect it to come soon..

That's not going to happen. This isn't allowed by either the music industry or carriers unless Apple gives them each a bigger cut of the profits.

I would expect that is from AT&T not the music industry.. The music industry would only benefit from such an arrangement - AT&T on the other hand would have to dish out more bandwidth to the 3G phones, which I expect is already taking a hit from the App store.

How about a turn by turn app? Also, an ability to sync the To Dos from iCal to Calendar? How about the ability to select and go to a specific date in Calendar? What about the ability to just sync certain date ranges from iCal to Calendar? Hell -- how about a whole new FULL FEATURED calendar program!

Hear Hear Apple!!! a FULL FEATURED Calendar Program for the iPhone!!!

- to be able to lock/unlock as desired the landscape/portrait mode in Safari.
- copy/paste.
- to be able to select a good portion of an email text and be able to delete it, I need this to forward just a portion of the message, it takes too much time to erase what is not needed by using the current delete feature.

I would love a full featured contacts app so what you enter in Contacts on your Mac completely syncs with MobileMe and then your iPhone/Touch.

I would like apple to include a vertically challenged person with their next software update so that way I will have someone to hold my phone and talk to me when I am on the train... and if they include cut and paste, I could replace them if I dont like them with another vertically challenged person.

everybody wins!

What about attachments to your email?

I haven't heard anybody about the lack of attaching a picture to an email.
I wanted to send an MMS to an friend of mine. Of course for the moment this is not possible on the iPhone.

When I went to the apple store and asked why not, they gave me the answer because the concept from apple's point of view was the use of email.
So as happy as I was with this answer I went home tryed to set up an email...damn. No function to attach a file. What the %$^&*. So I can take pictures but cannot do anything more then synchronize them with my apple.

Doesn't that take the mobility out of my mobile iPhone?

So from my point of view. They should at least make it possible to let people attach files to their emails.

thanks!
