   I don't care much for the lack of MMS on the iPhone, but perhaps they will finally add something seemingly as simple as copy and paste functionality. The possibility of running applications in the background would also be a nice addition.

Both work really well, although Clippy can only copy/paste editable text fields (still useful, though). Of course, you have to jail break it.

   The biggest enhancement Apple could make to the current iPhone would be multi-tasking. Though I'm sure they will want to tout a few extra features on a revamped version, as an iPhone owner that's what I see it lacking the most.For that to happen we will need further software optimizations or speedier hardware though, because the way it is now, the iPhone can behave very slowly when running Safari and a few other basic apps.

   Decent list 9nails. Though I bet # 1,2,3 won't make it in the next version.Flash is probably the next big improvement in the iPhone (including current ones).

   They Didnt include all this stuff in the 3G because they knew they could make more money if they bring out a new phone with these features included... 2 phones make more money than 1 with everything.Thats business, people.Oh btw, There IS an MMS App out, im using it At the moment on my 3G... i would prefer built in, but its good enough for now

That's shoddy business practice.
