eBooks, portal media (web, video, music, etc.), email, iWork, plus apps - Are all a great start
What about video chat or VoiP, desktop widgets/info, multi-task (Apple created this great new CPU or bought into it but do not show it off), connection(s) (HDMI/USB/or even displayport, you want this device to be the ultimate portable and all give us is 30pin?), widescreen (4:3 ratio was a bad decision). There are more things Apple could/should have done, all within the realm of the current technology without changing cost.

Valid points, they missed the boat on some big ticket items and big opportunities here, but hope is not lost by any means.
I jailbroke my iphone to overcome it's shortcomings and I am sure it won't be long till people have this thing cracked with all the goods. I hope Apple builds a more upscale version with a proper OS though.
