I was wondering what is the iPhone missing to be a mac tablet?

just wanted to hear your opinion. 🙂
 
do you think the iPhone will be able to:
mail/web browsing/music/photos/video iChat/maybe a quick game?/dashboard?

sorta like a secondary computer.
 
The use of inductive coils for charging and syncing could be implamented in a mactablet to allow for a totally enclosed case.

Not saying this would be the most practical, but having no openings would allow for a sleek design, although the lack of CD/DVD drive, USB, FireWire ports etc. would def. be a turn off. But a contact less docking station would be amazing...
 
hmm... what if apple put a mini VGA or mini DVI port and one usb port? 😱
 
If the iPhone was about 5 times bigger, allowed use of a stylus pen and allowed you to install any application, then it would be a mac tablet.
 
I think one thing this is missing which is a key feature that all laptops cellphone and mactablet will have is a removable battery.
