I want to be able to plug a USB microphone into the dock port and record using any of the great iPhone audio recording apps (including multitrack recording apps).

Why does everyone want an FM tuner? I want an AM tuner if anything.

Now don't go stealing my idea. I have rough drafts of #2 dating from early 2008. I just hope someone DOES make it.

Someone didn't do her due diligence. A glucose meter was demoed.

What is missing on this wish-list is Leather-sofa, Definitely iPhone 3G should make you a cup of cappuccino, iPhone should blast with a power of sound even Led Zeppelin ... This list is just a touch of iceberg but, most important .... I always thought, that iPhone 3G is for making a phone calls ...
Arch ... No I maybe wrong ...

Nope. A separate glucose meter with its own display and processing power was demoed. It just happened to connect to the iPhone and upload data. A glucose meter should be an accessory that is simply a device to read the strip. All the processing power and display should be from the iPhone itself.

I'd like to see a pocket printer that I can take on the road with me. There have been a number of times in the last month or two that I've really wanted to print out something from my iPhone and had to jump thru hoops to email it somewhere to get someone to print it for me...

By and large (items 1-3), the author is describing a "netbook". I don't understand the need for a keyboard, memory card reader, larger display, etc. for a phone. The iPhone is a consumer of content (generally speaking), and aside from quick emails, notes, "tweets", and other short input sessions, not a creator. I couldn't imagine the bulk all of these things would add, then again, I don't carry a purse.

Sd card read would be great. Sure iPhone is a phone, but it;s also a transmitting device. Take some pictures in the wild (with a proper camera not that stupid thing on the back of the iPhone), record a GPS track or any other data gathering device, then plug it into the reader and have the iPhone beam the data home. If you build it, I will buy it.

USB adapter has been done. I have an iPod camera connector from 2005 or so, never worked with any iPods after the iPod photo. Too bad OS 3.0 can't have some code in there to make that item work, my touch would really appreciate it!

iPhone and iPod touch themselves are great accessaries for PC and Mac. Say, a replacement for mouse, an addition or the third input device of your existing setup. One great firmware can make your already great handheld devise a greater input devise at the same time. Did you see the prototype oled display keyboards of some developers? A plugged iPhone beside your computer can be your mini keyboard with gorgeous display with hundreds of combination plus possibilities. I heard that iPod Touch 2G are equipped with bluetooth. Can anyone come up with something that can link our iPod touch to some popular branded cellphones, so we will have a killer handfree. I don't mind paying $30 for that.
