How about:
1- Copy/Paste
2- Able to add attachment in Emails
3- The ability to either Close or just Minimize applications
4- Email notification on home screen
5- General Setting tools to view memory used by each App. And able to close apps running in the background
6- Able to Drag and Drop files using ITUNES or Windows Explorer

I'll echo a few of the comments made above.
My wish list includes horizontal email. I often get email with fonts so small I can't really read them without expanding them. It's so much easier to just rotate like in Safari.
I would also like a unified inbox. With three accounts on my iPhone, it's annoying to have to navigate in and out of an account to get to another inbox.
Third, and possibly the most important for me, is the ability to respond to an iCal invitation. Why is it that you can accept/decline an Exchange meeting invitation but can't do the same for one sent by iCal, one of Apple's own products? This is the one thing that keeps my wife and I from keeping separate calendars. With it, we can keep our own personal calendars and send each other event invitations.
Fourth, I'd like the ability to add meeting attendees so that I can actually set up meetings on the iPhone instead of just creating individual events.
Fifth, I'd like support for more than one MobileMe account on the phone. In lieu of that, I'd like more flexibility in where I sync from. Technically, I can have two MobileMe accounts, but I can only separate them by email and everything else. What I'd like to do is to get a calendar from one account, bookmarks from another, and contacts from one of the accounts. As it is now, if I get bookmarks or contacts or calendar from MobileMe, they all have to come from the same account. Now if they were to implement responses to iCal invitations, that would go a long ways to making this wish list item less relevant. My wife and I have to share a single calendar from one MobileMe account, so our two phones can't use separate MobileMe accounts to get our own unique contacts and bookmarks.
Finally, I'd like something besides Springboard for managing apps. It's just too painful to use. It's far better than it was in 2.0, but even 2.2.1 isn't exactly user friendly.
I can get along just fine without copy/paste or MMS. I guess I'm one of the ones Apple was referring to when they said that it just wasn't that high a priority. If I really need to send a photo, I'll just send it by email. I rarely text at all, averaging about five a month, let alone send MMS. As for copy/paste, I think I've had a need to copy/paste maybe twice in all the time I've had an iPhone 3G, which I got the day it came out, so it's near the bottom of my priority wish list.

"It's funny (and kind of sad on Apple's part) that the most-requested features I see for the iPhone are not extra bells and whistles, they're functions to give them parity with pretty much every other cell phone sold."
I would be very depressed if all Apple does is play catch-up with such unimaginative features. Copy/paste? Video messaging? How plebian. I'm hoping for a true forward leap like teleportation or interplanetary time travel.
(But can I please, please have a barcode reader? Thanks!)

Though it makes almost no difference to me personally (I own neither an iPhone or iPod touch) if Apple DOESN'T implement Copy/Paste this time around, I fear it will spur a legion of geeks with pitchforks and torches to march straight over to 1 Infinite Loop and burn down Apple HQ.
People have been patient long enough - just DO IT Apple!
