1. Live turn-by-turn GPS updates (not just the blue moving dot)
2. Forward SMS (come on now this is basic)
3. Video recording (come on now this is basic)
4. MMS functionality (come on now this is basic)These are some of my requests, what do you want to see from the next upgrade?

sorry this is old video, but I couldn't help:

#2 would be nice, yes, but the rest I couldn't care less about.

I would love to see a simple, clean and slim phone : call, browse your recorded numbers, maybe SMS, and that's it.

I want it to be a remote that would control the cars in front of me on the freeway.

It has some pretty basic stuff missing, which is a wee bit annoying, but I don't know what I'd do without mine now... primarily because of the app store.

I do love my iPhone, don't get me wrong, just missing silly little things that all the other phones have had for years.
The GPS would be useful to me because I drive quite a bit.The copy and paste would be very cool too.

Doesn't jailbreak solve some of those issues?
- MrOneHundred0
I think jailbreak is for nerds who wanna be so tough and cool that an off-the-shelf item just doesn’t cut it for them. “Hey I rock the jailbroken iPhone, ’coz I’m on the edge – hacker-style”
- And then have it bricked a few months down the line.5timuli

I agree with all 4 of your bullets, Apple should also include:
• Capable of playing Adobe Flash
• Capable of shooting Video- How can I forget these two points!! Absolutely a must!mattiaBK
- Ain't no Flash 'til Apple buys Adobe :)decisionman

I'd like them to speed up the camera app startup. Not that I use it much anyway as it's a piece of shit.

option to email or text contacts would be nice and horizontal keyboard in email, text, and address book
- good points. are you designisfine from ffffound?MrOneHundred

This thing rocks. I'm trying to keep my apps organized (without jailbreaking).
- see my post above.MrOneHundred

I would do it (maybe) if it wasn't complicated / time-consuming. But I don't want any problems.Jaline

I would like some notification of new messages/mail for when the phone is in sleep mode. Maybe a little LED in the home button (obviously, that’s a hardware fix).
I resist the urge to get too many apps. It just lowers the overall performance of the thing. Someone I know downloaded as many free silly apps as they could and wondered why their phone kept crashing all the time.

Get over it, jailbreaking isnt that hard and covers points 2, 3 and 4 above? and gets away from Apples ridiculous control... I guess the off the shelf phone doesn't cut it eh ?
- Exactly. It's easy and makes the phone much better.section_014

Some people I know, amazingly - web coders, still haven't upgraded theirs to 2.0 (or 2.1 for that matter) let alone jailbreak them. I really don't know how you can use an iPhone or iPod Touch without installing any apps.
My latest jailbreak favourite: Backgrounder. Amazing, makes ANY app run in the background (ie. Fring or other IM) with a single click.
- yes, rafalski is talking about me; still have 1.1.2 on my ipod touch, but i am not going to pay them for an upgrade...bezul555
- it's not just you.. although one Touch owner web developer I know just got the upgrade recently.rafalski
- Mine can't be jailbroken yet. And you CAN install many apps without jailbreaking. Not the special ones, obviously.Jaline

Sorry to break it to you... no one wants to watch your shitty grainy mobile phone videos. Even if they act like they are interested they're just being polite and think your a bit of a cunt for making them watch them.

being able to view flash would be nice
being able to send + receive multimedia SMS's
not too fussed about needing to record video
other than that i love it to bits - but none of those spoil my enjoyment.
mattia, if everything is 'basic stuff', why not try adding those extra bits of functionality yoursef? :)
