In the much-more-reasonable-for-newbie-iPhone-programmers department...

1) A profiles application which allows you to
- Save sets of named profiles (settings)
- Switch between them manually with a single button
- Switch between them according to a timed schedule

2) A way to Answer-On-Speakerphone.
You probably can't do this within the confines of the SDK, but I want a way to answer the phone and be on speakerphone with a single button. Best way I can think of to do this is to press the Home button when the phone is ringing. This would be great when the phone rings while you're driving.
 
Most of the app suggestions here are not supported by the SDK APIs, or are just not allowed according to the the current developer agreement.

So I've started another thread, over in the MacRumors iPhone Programmer Forum, for suggestions from people who have actually read the SDK API documentation and agreement rules, and are interested in applications which are both possible and might actually be allowed into the App store.

Realistic App ideas suggestion thread

How about a Redbox app ?

it would be great to be able to search for available DVDs and find the closest Redbox kiosk to your location.. could tie in with the GPS capabilities of iphone..

or even to be able to quickly reserve a DVD at your closest Redbox while on the go ? seems simple enough and very useful
 
An app that would really interest me and other people that are into motor sports or other forms of racing would be a better stop watch.

A stop watch that can time multiple people at once.

I think it would be quite simple to write a app like that. I know 10,000 people that would buy it as everyone loves their gadgets and owns a iPhone.;)
